Planning Consultations

The Steering Group have appointed a firm of planning consultants to help guide them through creation of the plan. The Consultants role is to offer advice and to ensure that the final plan proposed for referendum is legally sound and meets all of the necessary criteria for approval.

After interview the Steering Group selected Kirkwells for this important role. Kirkwells have a lot of local experience having previously worked on Little Hereford, Leominster and Chaddesly Corbett plans.

Funding for this appointment is through the central government grant scheme (set up to help communities make a plan) plus contributions from both Tenbury Town Council and Burford Parish Council.
