Preston Parish Neighbourhood Plan 2018 - 2031

4. The Vision for Preston Parish to 2031

Preston Parish thrives socially, economically and environmentally as a safe, tranquil, rural community where any development should be sustainable and of good, intelligent design to enhance its distinctive character. The heritage, biodiversity and position in the landscape should be respected and enhanced.

We will achieve this vision by:

• Encouraging a thriving and prosperous community that delivers a high quality of life for all its residents
• Promoting a distinctive and flourishing local economy that exhibits vitality and dynamism
• Supporting measured, proportionate, timely and sustainable development to meet the requirements of both the village and the parish
• Endorsing policies that have a positive effect on the environment, including those that mitigate climate change and reduce our carbon footprint
• Maintaining the high quality natural environment with its protected wildlife interests
