With this copy of the Chipperfield News all residents of Chipperfield Administrative Parish should receive a short questionnaire. This seeks everyones views on the key things which go to make up the village character, what helps to enhance it and what detracts from its attractiveness as a place to be.
As mentioned in last months issue, the questionnaire is the first stage in putting together a group of guidelines to be adopted by Dacorum Borough Council as enforceable guidelines for any future development of Chipperfield. For this to happen, it is most important that any ideas put forward are the result of considering the views of the residents in a large part of the village. The members of the Village Design Statement Team do urge you to spend a few moments to complete the questionnaire and return it to one of the boxes provided at the Chipperfield Larder or the Post Office Stores.
We plan to provide a summary of the results as part of the Workshop to be held in the Village Hall on Saturday 15 April, which starts at 9.3Oam. We do urge you to take part in this. It should be both interesting and fun, with teams going out with cameras to take pictures of those features in the village they appreciate and those they dont. After rapid processing, the prints will be available for display and discussion, after which a summary of the key points will be shared and then used to prepare a report. This report will be the basis of proposed new Supplementary Guidance for the planners.
The more hands to work in helping at the Workshop and in drawing up the plan the better! If you are interested in helping or would like to find out more, please give me a ring. David Nobbs
