The decision to Make a Plan

The Parish Council held its first ever meeting on 5th June 2013. At that meeting it was agreed that the Council intends to work towards a local plan in order to protect and preserve the village character and general outlook. (Item 6 on the minutes).

At the second meeting, 5th September 2013, action was being taken to create what was then called The Village Plan. (Item 12 on the minutes).

By the third meeting on 5th December 2013 the Village Plan was taking shape. (Item 4 on the minutes).

The meeting on 18th February announced the Neighbourhood Plan and formed Action Groups.

The meeting on 21st May 2014 saw the project referred to as the Development Plan and the engagement of a consultant. (Item 9 on the minutes).

On 11th December 2014 the Council were preparing to engage the community at an open event on 7th February 2015, referred to as Buttie Day. (Item 13 on the minutes).

Thus the Shearsby Neighbourhood Development Plan evolved.
