What is a Parish Plan?

A Parish Plan is a public record by the residents of the Parish on how the Parish should be in the future.Development of the plan is undertaken by local Volunteers in the Parish, not the Parish Council.

A Parish Plan is an important document because it is used by the Parish, District and County Councils when thinking about development projects that might affect all or part of the Parish. For example housing, local services, roads or schools. As well as this, the plan also acts as an historic document - providing a ‘snapshot’ of parishioners’ feelings at the time when the consultation was completed.

What about Broadclyst's Parish Plan?

Broadclyst’s Parish Plan was started last September with an open meeting to gather a group of willing volunteers to act as a steering group for the plan. The steering group then worked with the Association of Parish Councils, East Devon District Council, Devon County Council and neighbouring Parish Councils to produce a questionnaire. This was distributed to every household in Broadclyst during May, June and July 2009.

The Parish Plan will be based around these results from the questionnaire.

If you want even more of a say, then the Parish Plan Steering Group would be delighted for you to join them. Any level of commitment and skill is welcome, from providing input to questions in the questionnaire, to willingness to deliver and/or pick up a few.

This is a massive and incredibly important initiative. It will provide the framework on how our parish will be in the future.
