ICKFORD NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN CONSULTATION REPORT : VISION FOR ICKFORD 7

Annex 1.

Pre-vision consultation questionnaire
by the Parish Council 2017.

Introduction

As part of the process prior to developing a Neighbourhood Plan for Ickford
Parish, the Parish Council conducted a consultation questionnaire that was
completed by members of the local community during the summer of 2017.

The questionnaire was focused on the two main areas of Housing and
Infrastructure based on the National Planning Policy Framework. In addition to
the structured questions, there was an opportunity for local people to express
their views openly on development areas, economy and the social infrastructure.

137 responses were obtained and these responses are below. Not everyone
answered each question so percentages are based on the number that did and
then rounded to the nearest figure. The questionnaire results gave a clear indication
to the Parish Council that producing a Neighbourhood Plan would be an
appropriate way forwards for the Parish to help influence future development
and identify the aspects of the village that were most important to the parishioners.
. In addition, these, and the results of a subsequent questionnaire, went on to
form the Vision and Objectives that the Steering Group would continue to work
towards throughout the plan

Methodology

The purpose of the pre-vision questionnaire was to give residents the opportunity
to express their views about any future development in the village. The
questionnaire used both direct questions and those that allowed the residents to
express their feelings on specific areas such as where housing should be situated
as well as improvements to drainage and general infrastructure.
