Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Growth Plan?
The Growth Plan will be a dedicated plan for Cresswell, setting out plans for how Shirebrook could grow and prosper over the next five years and beyond. It will cover issues such as living and working in Shirebrook, and will particularly focus on the town centre and the Market Place and environmental issues.
Why are you carrying out this online survey?
Because we really want to hear the voices of people who live and work in Shirebrook and particularly on how people like you think Shirebrook should grow and prosper over the next five years and beyond. We are only just starting on the preparation of the Shirebrook Growth Plan, so now is the best time to help create your future!
How long will the survey be open for comments?
A full calendar month, so from the 1st to the 31st March 2022.
How are you engaging local people?
We are promoting the start of the preparation of the Shirebrook Growth Plan as widely as possible to try and reach as many people as possible because we think it is important that local people get a chance to create their future. We are using this survey to see what people like you think about Shirebrook as it is now, but also your thoughts on how you would want Shirebrook to change.
How will you use the results of the survey?
We will listen to all of the views received through the survey and use your views to develop draft plans for Shirebrook that we will then bring back to you for your views as we want to make sure we are going in the right direction. So if you want us to come back to you, please make sure you provide us with your contact details.
How does this survey relate to the Local Plan?
We have an up-to-date Local Plan which doesn’t need to be reviewed for several years. The Shirebrook Growth Plan will be a non-statutory planning document that will sit on top of the Local Plan for Bolsover District. It is intended that the Growth Plan will be adopted as a material consideration in the District Council’s planning processes.
