An opportunity to influence the development of Yapton the way we, the people of Yapton want it to be
Come Along to Our Drop-In-Day on Saturday, 1st June 2013
And discover which sites are available for future Development in our community.
Help us to assess which sites meet our Objectives and tell us about any local issues you're aware of that may impact their suitability.
A copy of the draft Objectives and Policies will also be available and we're looking for your initial thoughts and feedback.
By coming along to the Drop-In-Day you will be helping to progress Yapton's Neighbourhood Plan and ensure that poorly located and inappropriate development doesn't impact our village in the future.
So put the date in your diary and join us at Yapton & Ford Village Hall between 12:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. to have your say on Yapton's future.

Draft Community Profile
ADC have purchased Community Profiles for all Parishes in their district.
These have been produced by Action with Communities in Rural England (ACRE) and contain mainly statistical information.
About Neighbourhood Plans
In future, according to Chancellor, George Osborne, "the default answer to development is YES". This will affect most of the Sussex coastal plain (including Yapton) as it is currently unprotected.
If we, the residents of Yapton, want a say in where future development takes place within our Parish we must produce a Neighbourhood Plan. Find out more.
Yapton & Ford Village Hall
We believe that our Profile should be a true reflection of what it's like to live in Yapton today, so we are merging the ACRE profile with our own sources to provide a more detailed and accurate basis for our Plan.
The final sections of the draft Profile have now been published in the March edition of Yapton News.
More information about the Community Profile can be found here.
