Following a period of public consultation Bingley Town Council has been notified that the application for the designation of a Neighbourhood Area covering the parish of Bingley, for the purpose of producing a Neighbourhood Development Plan, has been approved.
This is the first formal stage in the Neighbourhood Development Plan preparation process.
Bingley Town Council has appointed a Neighbourhood Planning consultant and will keep you informed of the next stages.
Re Saint Ives Woodland
Following the felling of the diseased larch in the woodland, there is a good opportunity to replant a future high quality conservation grade woodland. It would be sensible that the Woodland Trust and White Rose fo forest are consulted. It is important to get it right and that over planting does not occur.
Thank you for your comment John and a reply has been sent to your e-mail address.
Kind regards
Ruth Batterley
Town Clerk
