A Neighbourhood Plan for the entire parish of Witley is being drawn up and this is a great opportunity for residents to have a say. The Plan will be used to decide the future of the place in which we live and work and will apparently give us the opportunity to: choose where you want new homes, shops and offices to be built; Have a say on what those new building should look like; Produce a Plan which carries legal weight in the planning decision process. Themes covered in the Plan could include: employment, business, housing, design, historic areas, transport, plus more. Personally I would also hope that it will allow us to have a say on how many new homes should be built; quite relevant when you look at the number of houses under construction at the moment. So, how do we get involved? The answer is to go along to one of the launch events on: Monday 23rd February at 8pm in The Chichester Hall, Petworth Road, Witley GU8 5PL; Wednesday 25th February at 8pm in The Pirrie Hall, Haslemere Road, Brook GU8 5UJ; Tuesday 3rd March at 8pm in Milford Village Hall, Portsmouth Road, Milford GU8 5DS.
