Greater Cambridge Statement of Community Involvement Draft Consultation 2023
Representation ID: 200017

Respondent: Mr Stephen Bucksey
Section 6.9
As a general comment, for small parish councils, such as ours where the resource demands represent such a large ask I would question whether sufficient help is available to complete a Neighbourhood Plan. By resource I mean qualified and capable hands on support, rather than funding.
As a general comment having created a ‘Community Led Plan’ which still carries a recommendation for small communities to create, I feel there should be a level of statutory recognition of the outcomes of such Plans, subject to a minimum level of rigor and scrutiny, and would welcome your thoughts on this.
