Let's imagine a new part of Creswell
You can use this website to submit your ideas for how the area to the North-west of Creswell might be. We want Creswell to be a place you really like to live and work in. A place where you can: find a home; find employment or grow your business; support and take pride in your village centre and enjoy your leisure time. Traditionally decisions about growth and plans for growth are made by professionals such as developers, architects, planners and economists, and the people who live in a place are invited to comment at the final stages of the proposals. We think it would be better if the people who lived in a place had the chance to have a say earlier, imagine what growth could look like, and tell us what they think should be included. As a result, we have launched a new, innovative form of public consultation, to involve members of the public in planning in a deeper way than a normal survey. This tool is a new feature of the PlaceBuilder engagement platform that includes interaction and technically valid, locally relevant cost estimates to help people get to grips with some of the considerations and trade-offs that we need to address in designing new places. PlaceBuilder is a digital community engagement platform that makes it easy for anyone to participate in planning decisions, and to get data that planners can act on. Its advanced analytics help planners spot solutions instantly on real-time maps and charts, saving hours of analysis time and maximising the value of community feedback. In addition to Bolsover District Council, it’s been used in local and strategic consultations by a range of local authorities and UK government departments since 2019. PlaceBuilder is owned by The Future Fox, whose mission is to help citizens lead the future of their places. Feedback and contact information What will happen to my feedback? This masterplanning consultation will be open from Thursday 12th January to Monday 13th February 2023. We aim to gather as many responses as possible, and we are promoting this consultation through social media, email and community groups. |
