Dear Neighbour
Thank you for taking the time to read this questionnaire.
The Neighbourhood Plan (NP) is a document that is written by this community and is for this
community. Your response to this questionnaire and the responses of those that live with you are
vital in achieving this. Together, we can ensure the Plan delivers the things needed to keep our
community great and make it an even better place in the future.
We want to hear from everyone in your household including children who are 8yrs old and
above. We believe that everyone’s opinions are important.
Map1. Areas 1 to 3 relate to question 1.
This is a real opportunity for you to help shape the future of Great Barton.
Severalls Development. cica:1250 Homes
Triangle Development: 40 Homes

It is important that you should answer as many questions as you can. With most of them, it is
simply necessary to place a ‘tick`or number. Space has, however, been allocated within some
questions to allow you to express your views in more detail. Of course, you can decline to
answer any question.
We want you to be completely frank in your answers, there are no questions that could identify
you and therefore your answers are completely anonymous.
What is the purpose of the Questionnaire? The results of this questionnaire will form the basis of the Neighbourhood Plan for our village
and in particular the housing section will allow us to formulate planning policies. The
Neighbourhood Plan will be subject to a round of public consultation within Great Barton and
the local authority before an independent examination to ensure we comply with Local and
National Planning Policy guide lines. These policies will then be placed before you under a
simple referendum for a “Yes” or “No” for the adoption of these policies. These policies will
then be in statute and will be referred to when future planning applications come to the Parish.
A Neighbourhood Plan summary report will become available for every household.
A Neighbourhood Plan can...
• Decide where and what type of development should happen in the neighbourhood
• Promote more development than is set out in the Local Plan, but not less.
• Include policies, for example regarding design standards, that take precedence
over existing policies in the Local Plan for the neighbourhood - provided the
Neighbourhood Plan policies do not conflict with the strategic policies in the
Local Plan.
What can a Neighbourhood Plan contain?
So long as your Neighbourhood Plan complies with the above principles, it can be as narrow or
as broad as you wish. But it must be primarily about the use and development of land and
buildings. It can also have a say in how buildings should look (their 'design'), or the materials
they are constructed from.
The Neighbourhood Plan will become a very authoritative planning document report to guide
and support St Edmundsbury Borough Council and Suffolk County Councils and other statutory
authorities and organisations, including your own Parish Council.
The Principle Objective for ALL OF US in GREAT BARTON is to make OUR VILLAGE a
BETTER place to live.
WE can only ACHIEVE this through your HELP in COMPLETING THIS QUESTIONNAIRE.
Definitions: Severalls (Map 1) is one of 5 major housing developments for Bury St Edmunds which remains
in the our parish.
The Triangle (Map1) is the housing development bordered by School and Mill Roads and
A143.
Infill housing is the insertion of additional housing units on small plots within an existing
development.
Development Boundary is the area identified by the Local Planning Authority as the
development area of the village.

into the questionnaire, save at any point and if necessary pick up the
questionnaire again if you are not able to complete in one session.

• It is important that a high percentage of completed questionnaires are returned so
that the Neighbourhood Plan represents the views of as many residents as
possible
• Questions 1 and 5 requires only one person to complete when filling in this paper
copy.
• For the remaining questions (questions 2-4, 6 to the end), every member of the
household aged 8 yrs and over should answer individually. Each person should
adopt a column labelled A to F and use that same letter for all his or her answers
through the questionnaire.
•
• Where a question asks for: Please tick only one of the following... that means one
answer from each person completing that question.
• Where a question asks for: Please tick one or more of the following... that means
several replies may be made by each person completing that question.
• If you cannot, or would prefer not to, answer a particular question, please leave it
blank and move to the next question.
• If your household consists of more than 6 people aged 8 yrs and over, please
