1.0 Introduction and Background

1.1 This Consultation Statement has been prepared in accordance with The Neighbourhood

Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (SI No. 637) Part 5 Paragraph 15 (2)1 which defines a

“consultation statement” as a document which –

(a) contains details of the persons and bodies who were consulted about the proposed

neighbourhood development plan;

(b) explains how they were consulted;

(c) summarises the main issues and concerns raised by the persons consulted; and

(d) describes how these issues and concerns have been considered and, where relevant,

addressed in the proposed neighbourhood development plan.

1.2 Bawtry Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) has been prepared in response to the

Localism Act 2011, which gives parish councils and other relevant bodies, new powers to

prepare statutory Neighbourhood Plans to help guide development in their local areas. These

powers give local people the opportunity to shape new development, as planning applications

are determined in accordance with national planning policy and the local development plan,

and neighbourhood plans form part of this Framework. (Other new powers include

Community Right to Build Orders whereby local communities have the ability to grant

planning permission for new buildings).

1.3 The designated area of the Neighbourhood Development Plan (i.e. the area to which the Plan

relates) is the Parish of Bawtry and this area is shown on Map 1. The Town Council applied to

DMBC for the designation of the neighbourhood area on 13th October 2015 and the

application was approved on 31st August 2016.

1.4 Bawtry NDP has been prepared by a Steering Group set up by Bawtry Town Council. The

Steering Group is made up of town councillors, local residents and members of the local

community and business groups. The membership and the terms of reference of the Steering

Group are on the Bawtry Neighbourhood Plan website2, together with notes of meetings and

other relevant documents.

2.0 Informal Public Consultation to Identify Key Planning Issues

2.1 A comprehensive consultation process was carried out to ensure that the views of residents,

landowners, businesses and community groups were solicited and the key needs and wishes

of each group identified and taken into account in producing the Bawtry Neighbourhood Plan.

The Steering Group undertook wide ranging informal discussions and consultations with

DMBC, neighbouring parish councils, local residents, local community groups, and local

business groups. The consultation process so far and analysis of results are set out in the Draft

Consultation Statement.

• The establishment of a website ( https://www.bawtryneighbourhoodplan.org.uk/ ) which

provides information to the background and progress of the Bawtry Neighbourhood Plan and

allows residents to comment on their view of the issues affecting Bawtry and the future

requirements of the town.

• A consultation meeting with local landlords and businesses held at the Crown Hotel on the 6

October 2016

• A consultation meeting held with local community groups held at the Crown Hotel on the 19

2.3 Local residents and businesses were consulted with via the Public Meeting, Drop-In Meetings,

targeted consultation meetings, the website and the available questionnaire programme.

Copies of the Questionnaire and publicity information are provided in Appendix I. 189

completed questionnaires were returned. Analysis of these provided information regarding

what is valued by Residents, what are issues and what Residents think is needed in Bawtry

and hence what should be addressed by the Neighbourhood Plan. Questionnaires were

returned by 180 residents, 7 businesses and 2 resident/business owners. This represents 5%

of Bawtry’s 3600 population. 37% of respondents were aged over 65, 37% were aged 41-65,

7% were aged 26-40, 6% were aged 16-25 and 11 % were aged under 15.

2.4 Analysis of the returned questionnaires revealed 5 main areas of concern and comment. These

are shown in Graph 1 together with the percentage of respondents commenting on each area

of concern.

DIY shop, a restaurant, an interior design business, a haulage company, the Post Office, a

property agent, one undefined) attended. In addition all businesses were posted a

questionnaire. Only 9 questionnaires were completed by this group.

3.3 Two key questions were asked of them:

1) What are the three top priorities for the future development of Bawtry?

2) What is the most important issue facing Bawtry & how should it be addressed?

Key responses from Landowners & Businesses to question 1 – “ What are the three top priorities for

the future development of Bawtry

• Develop & improve the market square

• Parking – improve market parking & provide alternative free parking

• Provide better signposting for leisure and shopping areas ( Swan St., Courtyard etc)

• Encourage weekend events , particularly a Sunday market, to balance night time trade

• Improve road & traffic management

16

Key responses from Landowners & Businesses to question 2 “ What do think is the most important

issue facing Bawtry & how should it be addressed?

• Develop the market square & make it more pedestrian friendly with less parking so that it

becomes the welcoming heart of the town

• Maintain a varied mix of businesses to sustain a vibrancy that encourages families to visit and

utilise shops and other amenities

• Re-introduce a Sunday market

• Provide targeted marketing & publicity

• Provide additional housing as appropriate, particularly for the elderly so that they may use

& enjoy the town centre

• Improve other town amenities – roads, schools, health

4.0 Consultation with Bawtry’s Community Groups

4.1 33 Community Groups were identified in Bawtry ranging from Scouts & Air Cadets through

Church organisations, sports clubs , toddler groups to Medical Practices and Animal

sanctuaries. The full list may be seen in Appendix III.

4.2 All the Community Groups were invited to attend a Consultation Meeting held on the 16th

October 2016 at the Crown Hotel. 9 Groups were represented at the meeting.

4.3 The Groups attending were asked the same two questions as were put to the landowners &

businesses.

Key responses from Community Groups to question 1 – “ What are your three top priorities for the

future development of Bawtry”

• Improve road & traffic safety – lower speed limits, more pedestrian crossings, reduced town

centre traffic, improved footpaths, clarity on entrances & exits to retail premises

• Rejuvenate & improve the Market Square & re-introduce a market

• Improve parking

• Curb night time economy/ improve behaviour at & outside licensed premises

• Provide taxi rank

Responses from Community Groups to question 2 – “ What do think is the most important issue

facing Bawtry 7 how should it be addressed?”

• Parking – deal with on street parking & long stay parking, free parking for residents, reduce

parking fees

• Traffic issues – slower speed limits, reduce HGV numbers, reduce town centre traffic

• Improve appearance of town – market place improvements, make green space

• New housing – where & what will impact be, what is impact on Bawtry of Harworth

expansion?

• Acknowledge history & heritage of the town – create Heritage Trail

17

5.0 Consultation with Hayfield School Students

5.1 A consultation meeting with young Bawtry residents attending Hayfield School was held on

the 18th January 2017 at the Hayfield school. A total of 21 students, with ages ranging from

12 to 17, attended. About half of them took an active part in discussions and 19 questionnaires

were completed and these are included in the Bawtry Residents Questionnaire analysis ( see

Section 2).

5.2 Every student who spoke thought that Bawtry was a great place to live despite it having few

resources or facilities for young people. About half of them thought that they would remain

in Bawtry as adults. Interestingly most were not concerned about the modest employment

opportunities that Bawtry offers, preferring that the town remains of primarily residential

character.

5.3 What they liked about Bawtry was

• the variety of restaurants, not only to eat in but as a source of part time jobs

• the variety of shops

• how the expensive shops and their exclusivity attracted visitors from outside

• its residential character

5.4 What they wanted to see in Bawtry was

• “somewhere to hang out” – a reasonably priced café or similar

• some sort of youth club or centre, but not linked to religion

• more sports facilities, particularly for girls ( football, hockey, netball, tennis)

• a specialist market such as a farmers or continental market ( not cheap clothes etc.)

6.0 Consultation with Mayflower School Students

Mayflower School Consultation Event - Composite

6.1 A consultation session with Mayflower School was held on 5 September 2015. A total of 32

year 6 students, all of whom live in Bawtry, participated.

What is valued in Bawtry?

All the children said they liked living in Bawtry. It is “a great small town”. Positive references

were made to shopping, history, the library, the Wharf St play area and the Memorial Sports

Ground.

Concerns about Bawtry

• Most of the concerns expressed were about the absence of some national retail and cafe

“chains” – e.g. Costa Coffee, Starbucks, Apple, and shops selling branded “designer” label

clothing & shoes for young people.

18

• There were insufficient resources in the town specifically targeted at young people. Mention

was made that it would be good to have a leisure centre, including a swimming pool, in

Bawtry.

• There was also substantial adverse comment about traffic – its volume, its speed, & the over

prevalence of HGVs – in the same terms as the generality of consultation questionnaire

responses.

7.0 Publicity and Feedback

7.1 The results of the consultation events were presented back to the public in a series of articles

in a local periodical, Bawtry Today, which is delivered to all households and businesses in the

town. Newsletters giving details of the work of the Steering Group and the evolving Plan were

also delivered with Bawtry Today in September 2016 and March 2017. Copies of publicity

materials are provided in Appendix IV.

19

8.0 Preparation of the First Draft Plan - 2017

8.1 The responses and comments made during the various informal consultation and engagement

activities were considered very carefully and used to inform the preparation of a First Draft

Plan.

8.2 The First Draft NDP for Bawtry was published for informal public consultation during

December 2017. A public drop in event was held on 13 December from 2.00pm – 9.00pm in

the Methodist Church and 83 local residents attended. The First Draft Plan was available for

downloading from the NDP website and hard copies were available at the library and on

request from the Steering Group. Copies of all publicity are provided in Appendix V.

8.3 37 written responses were submitted, and these were overwhelmingly supportive of the

emerging draft policies and proposals in the First Draft Plan. Some minor changes to the policy

wording, maps and supporting text were made to the Draft NDP following careful

consideration of the submitted comments, and these were generally in relation to concerns

about parking, traffic and proposals for the market. The full report on the consultation

responses was published on the NDP website and is provided below.

Key Questions

1. Draft Vision and Objectives

Do you agree with the Draft Vision and Objectives? (Please tick)

Please let us have any comments about how these could be improved.

o Facilitating improvement of recreational facilities.

o Need creation/enhancement of leisure facilities as Bawtry has virtually

none. This should be a NDP objective.

o I couldn’t see clearly on the plan if there was a lay-by for the buses heading

towards Doncaster.

o Objective 3 – I have lived in Bawtry town centre since 1982 & the “Bawtry

Market” was a complete nuisance, filling the local area with people who

bought 50p items & spent nothing else. I lived on Swan St opposite the

Yes 34

No

Partially 3

20

market entrance. People who DID NOT LIVE HERE at the time have a very

wrong idea of what the market actually brought to Bawtry.

o Too “pie in the sky”.

o Wharf St play area could be identified as an “open space” in section 3.5

Natural Environment.

o Yes, more green spaces on High Street frontage. Plans to include an open

space, where the auction site is, awaiting development.

o Please be careful about the type of market we have. Try to build on

community.

o Concerned that with the return of a Sunday market we will again

experience the traffic chaos of the past.

o The vision & objectives are excellently expressed- There are a lot of

objectives. Which does BTC see as the ones to prioritise first?

o More greenery in the town centre (rather than a large car pak) would be an

improvement

o Welcome development of a green space in the centre of Bawtry.

2. Key Planning Themes

Do you agree with the key planning themes covered in the NDP? (Please tick)

Yes 31

No

Partially 5

Please let us know if you think we have missed anything important.

o Market Hill should be used for more recreational/public realm space. At the

moment it is a big car park!

o An element of protection v change of use of town centre premises would

be prudent. Need policy to prevent the balance shifting from shops to

restaurants & bars. Bawtry needs a mix of shops, restaurants & bars but

leisure uses are increasingly propping up all town centres to the detriment

of variety.

o Provision of dedicated cycle paths to encourage cycling & reduce use of

cars for short journeys. Also provision of cycle racks in town centre.

o You have identified the problem of absentee landlords & whilst I presume

it is outside your remit, is there any government legislation that could be

used to deter them allowing their buildings from detracting from the area?

i.e. quadrupling rates on empty properties.

o We have too many large houses being built. For every 4/5 bed detached

house we should have a pair of semis, one of 2 beds & one of 3 beds - &

21

ALL with 2 car parking spaces. Landlords of commercial premises should be

made to maintain the buildings in good order as they are scruffy & spoil the

town.

o Market Hill car park – not happy with flag paving. Can be unsuccessful

(therefore dangerous) – example new paving outside Sainsbury’s’. Limited

PROW provision – need for more safe public footpaths.

o Perhaps a plan to eradicate car parking from the High Street altogether,

with alternative parking elsewhere. Would like to see more amenities for

local people rather than wine bars for out of town people to flock to in the

evening.

o Plans for proposed development of Market Hill look good & will add to

attractiveness of the town.

o Traffic management is very important which you already have in the plan –

well done for all the hard work!

o Facilities & support for young people including possibly social housing.

o The NE5 policy could be extended to improve cycle ways, to include

connections to Doncaster.

o I can’t fully agree because these maps are hopeless in us knowing exactly

what the plan is. There should have been naming exactly – it’s impossible

to read any writing on the maps.

o A good mix of retail outlets needs to be aimed for. It would not be good for

Bawtry just to be known for its night time economy.

o Important for good mix of retail units. The night time economy does cause

problems – should be reduced.

3. Built Up Area

Please let us know if you would support: (Please tick)

A The area shown within the blue boundary only? Or 4

B The blue area AND the proposed extension shown in the blue dotted line to the

north east of the town?

31

Please provide any other comments about this.

o The dotted line appears to be a sensible limit. Separation from

Austerfield should be maintained.

o I think that the town’s infrastructure – particularly road safety & traffic

– need to be improved before a population increase.

o B as it protects the essence of the area.

o Fewer “executive” type – see those in new development Braeburn

Mews off Russet Grove.

22

o We believe the size of Bawtry is big enough, to maintain its original

character.

o Where would access to this housing come out as Thorne Rd/Bawtry Rd

into Austerfield is also a very busy road with a lot of heavy vehicles?

o Inclusion of the additional area is a good idea, we need some homes

priced for young couples & singles – not something that will end up as

buy to let properties!

o Any new residents would need to be aware of the proximity of the

Mayflower Animal Sanctuary & not later complain about noise.

o What plans if any are there for the opening of a rail station in this area?

o If the dotted blue area were to be built upon it could result in Bawtry &

Austerfield becoming joined.

o First time buyers. Older people – bungalows. A mixture to attract new

residents.

o Access should be maintained between the blue dotted area & the wooded

path that runs next to the railway through to the Great North Road.

o The increased traffic.

o Support (B) but would seek clarity on impact for secondary schools as

already extensive development within catchment.

o Broadly support (B) but would be concerned on the impact to local school

admissions.

o The map is technically incorrect in that the "Built Up Area" boundary

between Thorne Road and Narrow Lane is not as per the solid blue line –

map sent via e-mail to David Kirkham. If the NDP Team have followed

DMBC HELAA process as a means of identifying potential development sites

that have been classified as Deliverable subject to Local Planning

Constraints then the dotted blue line should show two distinct areas.

o Support B but concern about road access to any new development in this

area.

o Due regard to potential flooding eventualities needs to be borne in mind –

before building is carried out.

o Seems sensible development.

4. Housing

What sort of housing do you think is needed in Bawtry? (e.g. size / number of bedrooms,

housing for first time buyers, families, older people etc).

o A mix will be required.

o A mix is necessary to support the proper working of the housing market. A

single focus is not appropriate or wise.

o A mixture.

o Small integrated mixed housing so several generations live in close

proximity.

23

o A mix of housing to benefit all age groups. Evidence suggests that private

housing is better maintained than social housing due to ownership giving

responsibilities & fostering pride in the community.

o More 2 & 3 bed properties; less large detached properties.

o None.

o A reasonable mixture with some affordable housing for first time buyers.

o Sympathetic to the existing buildings. More homes for first time buyers.

o First time buyers – 2 beds.

o Should be for older people 1 or 2 beds & also in keeping with properties

around where buildings are.

o Probably more middle income range compared to recent developments on

Beaumont Gardens. Also more properties for first time buyers.

o Small houses for first time buyers. & accessible properties for older people.

o Small affordable homes for lower income earners.

o Social housing especially for young people – i.e. 1 bed flats.

o A mix of houses to reflect the current diverse range.

o A range of housing should be considered, with no strong focus on any single

type.

o It needs to be affordable homes – semi instead of attached.

o Affordable homes for 1st time buyers, but a mix of family accommodation

& some provision for the older generation to free hoe for incoming families.

o Affordable family housing. No more old peoples’ homes etc.. We want to

regenerate the area.

o Housing for first time buyers & 4/5 bedroom houses. More families, less

old people.

o Affordable housing needs priority.

o I support areas of mixed housing of a varied appearance. I think there are

already quite a lot of larger properties available so I would support building

more smaller houses/units (2-3 bedrooms) for first time buyers & smaller

properties for older people.

o A mix that must include first time buyers to encourage younger families to

stay / come to Bawtry. Encourage developments to follow the 12 principles

of "Building for Life"

o Encourage "Self-Build" and energy efficient design / construction – A

Greener Bawtry !

o Mixture of housing, including affordable housing.

o A mixture of housing.

o A mixture of housing but all to be of a high standard in terms of

construction & design.

o More starter homes needed.

o More affordable homes.

o Housing for older people is partly provided by the development of the

McCarthy & Stone site on part of the old auction site, however additional

low rise accommodation near the town centre would be a useful addition

& if made available some residents might downsize to free up some family

24

type housing. Affordable housing for first time buyers is important &needs

to be accommodated on any new development mixed with a range of

family type housing from 3 bed semis to 5 bed detached.

5. Other Comments

Please let us know if you have any comments about any of the other Draft Policies in the

NDP.

Draft Policy

Number

Comments (each section below shows comments made by an

individual respondent.)

30 mph should start at Kingswood. Flashing speed signs at start of 30

mph as per Austerfield & Ranskill. Weight limit placed on HGVs

through town centre.

Objective 12 Need more imaginative ideas to manage speeding problems on main

approaches to the town. Radar controlled traffic lights seem to work

very effectively in rural Portugal.

3.4.9

3.2.14

3.6.1

3.6.2

3.6.6

Agree. Community projects depend on volunteers – young people

need encouraging to volunteer.

An asset that if open to the public would enhance the area.

Would a weight limit imposed on Bawtry be an answer?

A flashing mph sin on entrances to Bawtry – it works in Austerfield.

The buses don’t run in or out of Retford in the evening.

TC6 Who is going to monitor all these regulations?

Objective 11 By building more houses you would be going against NDP Obj 11.

Make comments via discussions with BTC.

Top Street & Scot Lane – consider one-way traffic to ease passage.

3.1 Market Hill car park plan looks good.

3.4.6

3.6.2

Town centre seating would be very welcome.

While there is a 20 mph by the school on Station Road it is 40 mph on

Doncaster Road.

3.6 Do current traffic surveys indicate an increase in traffic? What impact

is expected by the opening of the new interchange at Parrots

25

Corner? Speed limits only inhibit current users who already

comply – it has no effect on habitual abusers.

NE5

TC1 & TC2

Improved cycle ways.

Removal of car parking from square, improved cycle facilities.

NE5

TC1

HER1

Strongly support this proposal. Cycle route from Doncaster to

Rossington should be extended through Bawtry woods to link Bawtry

to Doncaster by bike.

Strongly support the improved market space, with green areas

although alternative parking must be considered for market days.

Strongly support the Heritage Trail – more should be made of Bawtry’s

fascinating heritage with the library providing an excellent focal area

for resources, exhibitions etc.

Idea for building new houses. There is a big empty plot between North

avenue & Kingswood estate, facing Doncaster Rd. I think builder should

be asked to build within certain time or sell it to new builder who is

willing to build cheaper housing.

Cars on Doncaster Rd going too fast – if Council cannot reduce the

speed limit from 40 mph to 30 mph then they should arrange speed

control with the help of the police.

Traffic calming & speed management on Doncaster Road & the town

centre.

A scheme to reduce the amount of heavy vehicles using Bawtry as a

through road.

T1 This policy is the key to everything. On a personal level, I really feel

that the speed of traffic is a very major concern. I feel that if the speed

limits are lowered to 30 throughout the whole town and to 20 through

the high street, it will enable other development to follow more easily.

I even feel it may reduce the need for more parking as I would hope

that with lower speed limits, more residents will feel increasingly

confident about walking and cycling around Bawtry to perform their

day to day tasks. When I became a mum a few years ago, I was stunned

by how few other parents I saw on the streets pushing prams and

buggies. Having done a lot of pram pushing myself, I now know that

this is because it feels very unsafe to walk along the main streets of

Bawtry, and if you have more than one child it feels particularly unsafe

if you are trying to manage a pram or pushchair and a supervise

another child. I think the net result is that people feel safer using their

cars for short journeys between schools, supermarkets, playgrounds,

26

the library etc. I also feel it reduces the number of cyclists as you simply

feel unsafe cycling in the town centre - coupled with the startling lack

of cycle parking. I feel that the higher speed limit of 40 and the lack of

a 20 mph limit in the town centre is defining the way people conduct

their lives in Bawtry. I think until this can be addressed, other

development will be hampered.

3.1.49

3.4.7

Needs some re-thinking following the announcement to close NatWest

branch. Also concerns about the security and efficiency of the

suggested alternative, the Post Office.

Nowhere is there any mention of the lack of visible Policing in Bawtry.

Maybe NPD cannot effect this but a mention would be beneficial.

Totally agree with comments regarding any and all problems of traffic

through the town. Particularly the number of HGV’s, speed limits and

Tickhill Road parking.

Totally agree with the comments and concerns about the

developments in Harworth effecting Bawtry and the need for other

authorities to be asked to make considerations

Agree 3.1.40 in that there needs to be alternative parking identified

before closing spaces for a market

I am not convinced of the need for green space as in TC3 and 3.1.44.

Agree green edging but not large area. Who would provide the market

stalls etc? If BTC, where would they be stored? I think that any effect

on parking spaces caused by the proposed improvements to Market

Hill should be included in the document.

What is the potential DMBC Tickhill Road junction improvement

scheme as mentioned in 3.1.49?

In 3.2.35 there is a typo - “Three” should be “there”.

In 3.4.7 should it also include reference to cubs, scouts and guides?

(not sure whether guides still operate in Bawtry).

Under Amenities and Social Assets Actions for the Town Council there

are two items referring to requirements for the Library. Would have

been nice for these to have been mentioned to Trustees of Library

before inclusion in this draft for public view.

The index indicates E for ex-signalised pedestrian crossing but nothing

shown on Map.

4th line, it should say either “be applied” or “apply”.

Appendix 1

Is Bawtry Bridge included twice at 33 and 41?

Objective 12 I am concerned about the high speeds that some HGV & trailers

approach Bawtry. If the fracking goes ahead in Misson Springs

alternative routes for large vehicles need to be sorted.

Objective 3

Objectives 6 & 7

Objective 12

Welcome a market.

Stress importance of historical character.

Real effort needed to curtail speeding through the town.

- The NDP should really emphasise the need for improved public realm especially at Market

Hill. And also the need for leisure facilities.

- A lot of hard work has produced a very good plan.

- A lot of hard work has gone into the development of this plan. Bawtry residents should be

grateful that the town spirit is being protected.

- Inclined to be over ambitious? Off-putting to DMBC?

- I think it is a good start, but if money would allow a greater long-term vision for the town.

- Happy with First draft NDP.

- Seems very comprehensive & covering issues residents are concerned about. Thanks for

your hard work.

- Someone should be doing something about the lorries polluting. You cannot walk without

breathing in the foul air. Far too many lorries coming through.

28

- Priorities should be making better sense of traffic & revitalising the town centre –

especially by improving Market Place.

- I'd like to say how much I appreciate the considerable thought and effort that some people

have put into creating this document and also for creating a vision for Bawtry.

- I have read the Bawtry Neighbourhood Development Plan with much interest. In my

opinion it is a good statement covering many of those elements which should be included

in any consideration of the future of the town. I like the Vision Statement and support the

Objectives along with Planning Themes. However, laudable though all these points are, in

an era of notoriously tight funding, the plan could be seen as expensive, unrealistic and

thus little more than an academic wish list to be put into a draw to gather dust. But that

does not mean the plan should be dropped, certainly not.

I suggest that the document should be left as it is but a final section be added to identify

and prioritize key elements of it. Bawtry is a successful town with a rich history and if

carefully set out the Plan could help boost its economy. For example, its importance as a

north-south and cross country communications hub including commercial and private

activities could be stressed.

Bawtry is a delightful, bustling place with a unique and distinctive charm; these features

should be preserved at all cost and stated unequivocally in the Plan. An over-arching aim

should therefore be to interest, enthuse and indeed excite everyone about the town and

its’ potential. Good eye-catching publicity focussed on key objectives could be an

inexpensive way to capitalize on what is available.

- Excellent first draft.

Verbal responses made at exhibition (83 individuals attended. Probably significant overlap persons

completing written responses.)

• Old auction site – development to include a square/piazza for enjoyment local residents

• Concern re lack of parking facilities – any new housing development must include dedicated

parking

• Market Hill parking redevelopment – must ensure car park users conform to one way

requirements

• Sainsbury’s’ should take over auction site & garage, vacating their existing site – to become

local shops & bank.

• Problem of vehicles being parked on both sides of Grange Avenue. Need double yellow lines

at junction with Doncaster road for access.

• Doncaster Road entrance to Bawtry is unsightly because of Hudson’s Yard – needs tidying &

better screening.

29

• Concern about new houses being built in big back gardens.

• Preference for Option B re built up area.

• Bawtry is big enough now – don’t want it to grow.

• Several very positive comments re draft design for Market Hill improvement – especially

seating & greenery. Would be huge improvement to the town. Also sensible

comments/questions about likely cost & the need to maintain or expand overall car parking

capacity.

• High Street/Tickhill Road junction improvement required. Lower speed limit required on

Doncaster Road, especially at the school crossing point.

• Need to maximise bat boxes, bird roosting boxes etc in any new development.

• Vehicular access to Church Walk is causing problems for pedestrians, especially the elderly &

those with buggies.

• Need to improve facilities for the young, especially 16-18 year olds. Get them to organise &

thereby own it. Hold drawing competition at Mayflower School to show desired

improvements to Bawtry.

• Need speed cameras to back up 30 mph restrictions – can be dummies.

• Need to improve access to town centre for elderly & infirm.

• Need pedestrian crossing at the town centre end of Station Road.

• Need elderly persons’ care home in Bawtry.

• Bawtry is over dependent upon night time economy.

9.0 Regulation 14 Public Consultation on Bawtry Draft NDP

9.1 The public consultation on the Draft Neighbourhood Development Plan was carried out in

accordance with The Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (SI No. 637) Part 5

Pre-submission consultation and publicity, paragraph 14. This states that:

9.2 Before submitting a plan proposal to the local planning authority, a qualifying body must—

(a) publicise, in a manner that is likely to bring it to the attention of people who live, work or

carry on business in the neighbourhood area

(i) details of the proposals for a neighbourhood development plan;

(ii) details of where and when the proposals for a neighbourhood development plan may be

inspected;

(iii) details of how to make representations; and

(iv) the date by which those representations must be received, being not less than 6 weeks

from the date on which the draft proposal is first publicised;

(b) consult any consultation body referred to in paragraph 1 of Schedule 1 whose interests

the qualifying body considers may be affected by the proposals for a neighbourhood

development plan; and

(c) send a copy of the proposals for a neighbourhood development plan to the local planning

authority.

9.3 The Draft NDP was published for 7 weeks formal (“Regulation 14”) public consultation from

Monday 2nd April until 5 pm on Monday 21st May 2018. The statutory minimum period of 6

weeks was extended by a week to allow for the Easter break and Spring Bank Holiday which

both fell during the consultation period. A copy of the covering email / is provided in

Appendix VI.

9.4 The Bawtry Draft NDP and an accompanying Response Form (see Appendix VII) were

available online at https://www.bawtryneighbourhoodplan.org.uk/ . Screenshots of the web

pages including Doncaster Council's Bawtry NDP web pages are provided in Appendix VIII.

9.5 Hard copies of the NDP and Representation Form were available on request from the Chair

of the Steering Group and were placed in the Community Library.

9.6 Representations were invited by post to The Clerk to Bawtry Town Council

or by email to bawtrytowncouncil@gmail.com or by leaving them in the reply box at the

Community Library.

9.7 The consultation process was publicised to consultation bodies and stakeholder groups, local

businesses, and residents by email from the Town Clerk , by notices on the Town Council’s

website and notice boards, on Doncaster Council's website, and posters. Copies of publicity,

provided in Appendix IX.

31

9.8 The Steering Group took the decision that a further public drop in event was not required at

this stage, as the Draft NDP was very similar to the First Draft Plan which had been published

for extensive community consultation, including several events only a few months before.

9.9 A complete list of consultation bodies and other groups contacted directly by email is

provided in Appendix X.

10.0 Formal Consultation Responses to the Bawtry Draft Neighbourhood

Development Plan

10.1 The responses to the Regulation 14 public consultation on the NDP are provided in the

accompanying Consultation Response Table. This document also sets out the Town Council's

consideration of the points made and also any resulting changes to the Submission version

of the NDP.

10.2 Doncaster MBC provided a range of detailed responses with suggested amendments to the

supporting text and some policies. There were a number of suggestions relating to the need

to clarify the local planning policy framework in terms of the existing and emerging new

Local Plan. There were some suggestions for slight changes to the wording of some town

centre, housing and natural environment policies and concerns about the proposed new

development boundary and whether the area showing the proposed extension was

deliverable for major new housing due to access constraints. The policy wording and

supporting text has been amended to help improve clarity around the proposed change to

the built up area boundary and the need to provide some flexibility to support appropriate

housing growth as set out in the emerging new Local Plan. Several open spaces (identified in

the Green Space Audit) were added to maps and supporting text. There were also a number

of queries and suggestions for improved clarity around policies, proposals and supporting

text relating to pedestrian safety and accessibility.

10.3 Historic England noted and welcomed policies TC6, HER1 and H1 and the supporting

justifications and suggested consideration be given to identifying and protecting heritage

assets. This has been taken on board n a new policy (HER1) in the submission NDP.

10.4 There were representations from 2 developer / landowners promoting sites in the green

belt. Such proposals are outside the scope of an NDP and will be addressed through the new

Local Plan process, taking into account the Green Belt Review and housing requirements.

10.5 The Coal Authority and Canal and River Trust had no comments.

10.6 There was also a representation from a local resident about the proposed amendment to the

boundary of the built up area. Following detailed discussions with DMBC in relation to final

proposed amendments and DMBC 's informal consultation on the new Local Plan Draft

Policies and Proposed Sites in September 2018, the Steering Committee, on behalf of the

Town Council, agreed that the NDP should not include an amendment to the boundary of

the built up area as proposed in the Regulation 14 Draft Plan. Therefore this was deleted

from the Submission Plan.

Do you live or work in Bawtry?

Do you have any concerns about how the town is developing?

Do you want to help shape that development?

Say what you think about the town, and make the Planners listen!

Planning decisions in Bawtry are made by Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council. They make their decisions according to planning law, and with reference to the DMBC Local Plan. Bawtry Town Council makes representations about planning applications, but DMBC can disregard them. If we have a Neighbourhood Plan, DMBC would have to take its provisions into account. This means decisions about Bawtry can be steered by Bawtry people!

We are therefore making a Neighbourhood Plan. A questionnaire has been devised, to inform the content of the Plan. Please fill one in – for a few minutes’ work you will influence the content of the Plan – and the Plan will influence the future development of Bawtry. The more responses we get, the more valid will be the Plan.

After all completed questionnaires have been received, they will be analysed and the issues everyone has identified will be collated, to inform the thrust of the Plan.

Completed questionnaires can either be returned to Bawtry Community Library, or left here today.

Article Ref 15/03/09

A Neighbourhood Plan for Bawtry

Are you happy with the way Bawtry is being developed? Are you confident Bawtry will remain the place you love in the future? Local planning is managed by DMBC. Bawtry Town Council can and do make comments and recommendations – but the decisions are made by DMBC, sometimes disregarding those comments.

Now there’s a way to shift the balance of power a bit. The Government’s Localism Act of 2011 introduced Neighbourhood Plans, to give local people more say in what happens. As well as planning policies, the Neighbourhood Plan could include other “non-planning” policies related to such matters as highways, traffic or any other relevant issues that are important to the town. Decisions will still be made by the local Planning Authority – but they have to be consistent with the Neighbourhood Plan – if there is one!

Nationally, over 1000 communities have begun the process of making a Plan. Locally, these include Tickhill, Armthorpe, Thorne & Moorends, Burghwallis, Harworth & Bircotes, and Auckley. Why not Bawtry?

If we are to have a Neighbourhood Plan, it will be “owned” by Bawtry Town Council – but produced by a Steering Group, consisting of local residents and representatives from all groups and organisations within the town, including the Town Council. Bawtry Residents Group has started the ball rolling, and Bawtry Town Council has now committed to the principle of a Plan. The Government has provided for financial support for communities to produce Neighbourhood Plans, and expert advice is also available. It will be a long job though – at least 12 months.

Would you be interested in helping to make a Neighbourhood Plan? If you think you might like to be involved please contact one of the following:

Letter to all Bawtry Community Groups

Dear

Bawtry Town Council is currently developing a Neighbourhood Plan, which is an opportunity

for local people and community groups to have more say in what happens to the town over

the next 15 years or so. A Steering Group has been working hard to identify what it is about

Bawtry that its residents value most highly and what concerns them most. The Steering Group

has, so far, received the thoughts and ideas of the Bawtry Residents Group, the Bawtry Retail

Association and has conducted a survey questionnaire delivered to all the households and

businesses in Bawtry.

The views expressed to us so far describe Bawtry as a friendly, busy place with a rich heritage,

where residents value “small town” life but also enjoy the facilities of a larger community. But

people also refer to problems such as unsafe and uneven pavements, poorly maintained

verges, litter, dog fouling in play areas, and many other concerns. Full details can be seen on

the web site at: www.bawtryneighbourhoodplan.org.uk

The next step in the process is to contact all business and community groups within the town.

We invite your community group members to attend an event at The Crown Hotel on

Wednesday 19 October at 7:00 pm. Additionally, we also invite your group to send it’s

thoughts, and ideas, to the Steering Group for incorporation into a draft plan. We want to

create a strategy for the future that will protect what is best about Bawtry, and try to address

the concerns identified. The plan will then go out for consultation, and eventually be the

subject of a formal referendum in which all the residents of Bawtry will have a vote.

If possible, can any comments please be received by the end of November 2016. If you would

prefer, we would also be happy to attend a meeting of your group to discuss the issues.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely

Peter Holland – Chair of the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group

Welcome to the future of Bawtry! A public exhibition at the Bawtry Methodist Church Hall on Wednesday 13th December, open between 2 pm and 9 pm.

Tea and coffee will be available.

Do you live or work in Bawtry?

Do you care about the future of Bawtry?

Do you feel that your views about Bawtry are ignored?

Yes?

Then you need to see this exhibition. It’s about the Neighbourhood Plan we’re making. If that Plan is supported by the majority of Bawtry residents, it will become part of planning law. So it will steer our town’s future. We’ll be showing a first draft of the Plan – we’ll be showing you Bawtry’s future.

A steering group, set up by Bawtry Town Council and including members from across the community, has been busy putting the Plan together. We have consulted very widely – but did we hear you clearly? Have we got it right? The Plan needs to be what you want. We need to hear from everyone, of all ages - including young people, people with young families and people who are retired.

Please don't miss your chance to tell us what you think. If you don’t come you might regret it in a few years time because Bawtry may not be like you think it should be!

Come to the exhibition and have your say about our future!

Welcome to the future of Bawtry!

A public exhibition at the Bawtry Methodist Church Hall on Wednesday 13th December, open between 2 pm and 9 pm.

Tea and coffee will be available.

In February 2015 Bawtry Town Council agreed that a Neighbourhood Plan be made.

Once “made”, a Neighbourhood Plan shifts the balance of power between a local community and their Planning Authority. That means DMBC will remain the decision making body, but they will have to take much greater account of what the people of Bawtry think – as expressed in the Plan.

A steering group, comprising members from all parts of Bawtry – including the Town Council, the Residents’ Group, and the Retail Association - has been working on the Plan for more than two years, by asking people how they want Bawtry to develop in the future. We’re now ready to share our First Draft of the Plan. This is the first formal stage of “making” the Plan, which will culminate in a public referendum.

If you care about the future of Bawtry, come to the exhibition. Our vision has been

“To create a Plan for Bawtry that will enable the town to develop into a thriving and vibrant market town; proud of its heritage; safe and enriching for its residents; welcoming to visitors and fit and prepared for the challenges of the 21st Century”.

Have a look at what we intend to say about our town, and tell us if we’ve got it right - about new houses, about shops, bars and restaurants, about green spaces, about roads, car parking, and traffic. How these issues are managed in the future will determine the character and prosperity of the town.

Bawtry isn’t just for adults, so our Plan isn’t either. We want to hear from children and teenagers too. What sort of Bawtry do they want? All are welcome.

Please come to the exhibition and have your say!
