COMMUNITY CONSULTATIONS


From time to time, New Ferry residents will be asked to fill in questionnaires or comment on plans and proposals being put forward by Wirral Borough Council or other partners.

This new page collects all these together.

 

STRATEGIC HOUSING LAND AVAILABILITY

Who is asking?: Wirral Borough Council

Closing date for comments: 4 April 2012

 

The Council is currently consulting on a Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) Update 2011, which forms part of the evidence base of the Local Development Framework for the Borough. The documents provide an update to the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment 2008, which was consulted on between November 2010 and January 2011.

Copies of the documents are being made available online at http://wirral-consult.limehouse.co.uk/portal, at all One Stop Shops and libraries, and at the public counter of the Technical Services Department at the Cheshire Lines Building, Canning Street, Birkenhead, CH41 IND. The deadline for comments to be received on-line via questionnaire or in writing by letter or e-mail at the above address will be 5.00 p.m. on Wednesday 4 April 2012.

The comments submitted will be publicly reported and will be used to inform the Proposed Submission Draft Core Strategy which will be published for final comments on its soundness later in the year.

As part of this consultation, the Council would welcome the views of the Strategic Housing Partnership. If you feel that any of the sites which have been assessed as part of the SHLAA Update 2011 could come forward sooner/ will not come forward until later in the plan period or if you have any sites that you feel should be included in a future Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment, please let them know.

If you have any comments, please send them to Hannah Whitfield, Senior Planning Officer, Forward Planning, Regeneration, Housing and Planning Department, North Annexe, Wallasey Town Hall, Brighton Street, Wallasey, Wirral CH44 8ED.   Tel: 0151 691 8192 or email hannahwhitfield@wirral.gov.uk.


PARKS, BEACHES AND OPEN SPACES CONSULTATION

Who is asking?: Wirral Borough Council

Closing date for comments: 12 March 2012

 

Wirral Borough Council is asking you to tell them what your local parks, beaches, countryside and open spaces should be like. What do you like about them? If you could change anything what would it be?

The Council is developing a long term plan for Wirral’s Parks and Countryside Service. To help them ensure that this meets the needs of local people, they're asking for your views. This is a chance for you to have a say on how the Council manages your parks, beaches, countryside and open spaces.

Please help them by completing a short online survey where you can give your views. It will make a difference.

The closing date for this survey is 12th March 2012.


DRAFT SETTLEMENT AREA POLICY

Who is asking?: Wirral Borough Council

Closing date for comments: 12 March 2012

 

The Core Strategy is a key document in the emerging Local Development Framework (or Local Plan) for Wirral.  This will replace the Unitary Development Plan for Wirral adopted in February 2000 which dictated what could be built in certain areas of the borough. 

The new Core Strategy will provide the long term direction for future development and investment in the borough over the next fifteen years and beyond. When adopted, the Core Strategy will be used contribute towards decisions on individual planning applications and will be used to guide the identification of site-specific land allocations.

The Council is currently working towards approving a Proposed Submission Draft Core Strategy for consultation in July 2012.

The Council consulted on the Preferred Options for the Core Strategy between November 2010 and January 2011. The comments received were reported to the Council in July 2011.  As part of this consultation, a number of respondents indicated that they wanted to be able to comment on the proposed content of the Settlement Area Policies being proposed by the Council before they were published as part the Proposed Submission Draft Core Strategy. This additional consultation is the Council's response to that request.

Have a look and comment on the Draft Settlement Area Policy for Bromborough and Eastham.
