1) Introduction 


 Background


1.1  Bolsover District Council resolved to commence the preparation of a Growth Plan for Creswell in February 2022.

1.2  Growth Plans are non-statutory planning documents that sit on top of the Local Plan for Bolsover District and direct where additional growth would be acceptable to the Council. The Council will adopt prepared Growth Plans as material considerations in the planning processes.


Purpose of this document 
 

1.3  The purpose of this document is to set out the potential Growth Plan Options so that the Council can hear the views of the community and other stakeholders before making its decision on the best approach to future growth in Creswell.


How has it been prepared? 
 
1.4  The Council is preparing the Creswell Growth Plan in accordance with its Local Development Scheme (2022) and it is consulted on in accordance with its Statement of Community Involvement.

1.5  The preparation of the Creswell Growth Plan started in April 2022 and has already undergone three stages of public engagement:
  • Initial Consultation June 2022: Community Views on Creswell. This consultation asked people living and working in Creswell what they thought about the village as a place to live and work in, and what they thought about the village centre and local environment.
  • Second Consultation January/February 2023: Community Views on Growth. This Masterplanning Consultation Exercise asked people what they thought growth in Creswell could look like and what land uses it should include.
  • Consultation Feedback 27th July 2023: Community Event. This Virtual Reality Balloon Ride event took forward the responses from the Masterplan consultation to illustrate the relationship between growth and infrastructure in Creswell.

1.6  The representations submitted from the two consultations have informed the contents of this document.
