SECTION 3: VISION AND OBJECTIVES

The Vision and Objectives were developed based upon feedback from stakeholders obtained following the Stage One public survey in October 2016 (10)

3.1 VISION

By the end of the plan period we want Sutton Poyntz to be somewhere that makes the most of its strengths.  It will therefore be a thriving and friendly community, whose residents can enjoy an attractive village centre, can reach nearby shops and facilities, and can easily access the beautiful surrounding countryside.

Issues which otherwise detract from residents’ quality of life will be less evident. By the end of the plan period housing will better suit local needs, any new development will add to the village character, recreation facilities will exist, more people will work locally, and traffic or parking concerns will be better managed.

3.2 OBJECTIVES

Retain and promote housing which meets the needs of residents.
 
Protect the character of the village and its buildings of heritage value.
 
Sustain and improve community facilities and assets which add to residents’ quality of life.
 
Promote safe and accessible transport options for all those travelling from and to the neighbourhood.
 
Promote biodiversity and conserve our natural environment with its wildlife habitats.
Retain and enhance important green spaces found in and around the village.
 
Support small-scale opportunities for business and local employment.
