Virtual Local Politics and Neighbourhood Plan

Virtual Local Politics and Neighbourhood Plan
The Vale of White Horse District Council (VWHDC) had an online planning meeting this morning using Microsoft Teams.

On the agenda was the Old Gaol proposed change of use (for one unit) from restaurant to dental surgery.

Abingdon-on-Thames Town Council can also hold internet meetings and they started last week with the Guildhall Meeting on 21st May. They are using WebEX.

Abingdon-on-Thames Town Council have also started the process of the Neighbourhood Plan. In the short to medium term the consultation process will have to use the internet rather than round table discussions.

If the plan is agreed by over 50% of those in Abingdon, that can vote, then Abingdon will have more control over its own destiny.

Abingdon cannot change the number of houses to be built as decided by VWHDC in their local plan,  but can get more control how the CIL (Community Infrastructure Levy) is spent.
