Draft Husthwaite Design Code

Basic Conditions Statement

Evidence base:

Legal requirements say that the Neighbourhood Development Plan must be based on clear and up-to-date evidence that explains and justifies its policies, and shows how they will help achieve sustainable development. The evidence should match the scope of the plan, using existing information about the local area and any new research on local issues. It should include facts, figures, community feedback, and technical studies. The evidence should be easy to find and understand, and strong enough to stand up to checks during the Plan’s examination.

The links below lead to the evidence that backs our draft Plan.  This evidence is still being collated and updated and will evolve further through the consultation process.
