Wimborne St Giles Neighbourhood Plan
Picking up from the 2016 consultations...

In 2016 we came together as a community to create a shared vision for Wimborne St.Giles and discuss how it could evolve in a way that would serve its residents and protect its long-term future. There was a recognition that this was essential to save the facilities that are currently enjoyed by residents, sustain a vibrant and growing community and manage a rapidly changing world with different pressures and societal needs, such as: changes to working practices, housing requirements, pressures on the environment, transport and technology. It was also an opportunity to share what we value about life in the village and what aspects are important to protect. The results and ideas from these discussions are included in the plans below.

Please fill out and return the forms to us, either by submitting online https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/WSGNP-1, by handing in the completed form to the Post Office before the 12th June, or by bringing the completed form to the Village Hall on the 12th June during the drop in session. Thank you

We are now looking to use these plans as the basis of a Wimborne St.Giles Neighbourhood Plan. A Neighbourhood Plan is a way for communities to have a say about the future of the places where they live and work that carries real legal weight. It allows communities to put forward a vision for their area and protects them against inappropriate development in the future.

The following survey acts as a guide to revisit the ideas from 2016 and a chance to put forwards new ideas and thoughts. The information we gather will help guide us to create a positive vision for the village for the future. Thank you in advance for sharing your views.

Question Title

* 1. Please tell us your name (or names if this is completed on behalf of a family)
This is to help check how many people responded and avoid duplication - your names will not be published.

Question Title

* 2. Did you take part in the previous consultation in 2016 on the future of our village?

Question Title

* 3. We want to check whether people are still in broad agreement with the conclusions from that consultation:

  Agree Not Sure Disagree
(a) To sustain local facilities and services, such as the pub, shop, school and village hall
(b) To allow some small-scale and sensitively located development
(c) To have a mix of house types and tenures (renting and owner occupied) suitable for young families, estate workers, and for the elderly as people's needs change
(d) To make sure that any development is in keeping with the current style and ‘feel’ of the current village
(e) To make sure that development is mainly on either previously built-on sites, some gaps in the current village footprint or on outlying sites.
