"I wish to commend the Parish Council and the Steering Group on their approach to preparing this neighbourhood plan. In particular, the decision making in respect of its housing allocation has been transparent and objective, based on clear selection criteria…
I wish to congratulate Brigstock Parish Council and the appointed Steering Group on producing a very readable and well-structured document that has been based on significant community involvement. It will form the sound basis for determining planning application in the parish over the coming years. It has not ducked its responsibility in making difficult allocation decisions and has had regard to strategic policies in the Core Strategy."
