Chew Valley Neighbourhood Plan, Nov 2016

Bath and North East Somerset Council formally designated the Chew Valley area as a Neighbourhood Area, after an application was made by the Parishes of Chew Magna, Chew Stoke, Compton Martin, East Harptree, Hinton Blewett, Ubley and West Harptree.  These 7 Parishes expressed an interest in preparing a joint Chew Valley Neighbourhood Development Plan, so in accordance with the regulations of the Localism Act 2011 they submitted a Neighbourhood Area Designation Application.

The task of creating the joint Chew Valley Neighbourhood Plan formally started with the formation of a steering group of representatives from all 7 parishes.  In addition the ward councillors for the parishes were on the steering group as well as representatives from other useful organisations.
