We are having a walkabout in Sneinton to view places of interest such as the windmill car park, the old Dale farm plot and the old Aerborn factory (cinema) site. This will take place on 18th June 13. For more info, please read on...
One of the benefits of a Neighbourhood Plan is that you can have a say about developments first rather than objecting to proposals. For the developer it would mean proposals are less likely to meet resistance as they would put forward proposals that are consistent with the area's NP. Parts of Sneinton are a conservation area but the rules are being bent by some residents and developers and the Council can struggle with enforcement. A NP would also beef up the existing conservation order and a Neighbourhood Forum could liaise with the authorities to ensure they are notified about anybody ignoring the order.
If any of this interests you may want to join the newly forming Sneinton Neighbourhood Forum or you may wish to feed you thoughts into it. Neighbourhood forums are community groups that are designated to take forward neighbourhood planning in areas without parishes. It is the role of the local planning authority to agree who should be the neighbourhood forum for the neighbourhood area.
Sneinton Alchemy have organised a walk about/place check on 18th June 13. A place check is a method of taking the first steps in deciding how to improve an area. Place checks are often able to kick-start change in a way that might not otherwise be possible. They can lead to anything from litter clear-up days to neighbourhood planning. If you would like more info on any of the issues raised, would like to join the place check walk about on 18th June or would like to be part of a local Neighbourhood Forum please contact me at steve.smith@sneinton-alchemy.com or on 07972049539.
