Kelvedon Neighbourhood Plan

Steering group

The steering group is responsible for organising the project and ensuring we meet deadlines. They will also collate the work from the groups and engage with the community and other stakeholders involved in the process. Ultimately, producing a successful plan is their job, and we have a lot to do before that happens.

Working group: Housing.

We will be considering all aspects of housing including types, distribution, needs, private and rented. Initially this will involve a survey of what exists followed by consultation on current deficiencies and future needs.

Working group: Education.

We will be completing a baseline assessment of the current availability of educational and recreational places for children to learn and engage. Going forward, our task is to establish what would be needed to accommodate the demands from new development.

Working group: Environment & Heritage.

Our work involves identifying and protecting the environment from nature reserves to flood plains, trees with preservation orders and public open spaces like playing fields or green areas in housing developments. The heritage elements include the Conservation Area, listed buildings and archaeological sites.

Working group: Moving Around.

We will be looking at the needs of residents and visitors moving around the village for domestic, commercial and social reasons using all transport modes. We will be liaising closely with other groups such as environment to consider factors such as pollution.

Working group: Business & Retail.

We have a strong small business community and an active business group. Our task is to ensure Kelvedon is a place where businesses can thrive and opportunities for essential services and employment can grow.

Working group: Health.

The scope of the health group includes considering the provision of health and care by organisations from doctors’ surgeries and dentists to care provided in the home. We will be consulting the community to establish what they need and how they view available services.
