East Coker Parish Council has applied to South Somerset District
Council for the designation of a neighbourhood area under The
Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012. The area
proposed covers the whole of the parished area of East Coker and is
the first step for East Coker Parish Council in preparing a
Neighbourhood Plan*.
The application can be viewed below and copies can also be
inspected at the main Council Offices, Brympton Way,
Yeovil.
Please note that this is a formal regulatory stage of the
designation of the neighbourhood area and not a consultation on the
neighbourhood plan itself which will follow in due course should
this application to designate a neighbourhood area be approved by
the District Council. The consultation on the proposed
neighbourhood area has now closed and the responses received can be
viewed via the link below.
The consultation ran from 14 March 2013 until 5.15pm on
2 May 2013. All comments received are publicly
available and cannot be treated as confidential.

*A Neighbourhood Plan is a community-led framework for guiding
the future development, regeneration and conservation of a Parish
(or group of parishes). It may contain a vision, aims, planning
policies, proposals for improving the area or providing new
facilities, or allocation of key sites for specific kinds of
development. It can deal with a wide range of social, economic and
environmental issues (such as housing, employment, heritage and
transport) or it may focus on one or two key local issues only.
