Helmdon Parish Plan
 
To Helmdon's Future
The Parish Plan - a footpath to Helmdon's Future. 
The Helmdon Parish Plan, first published in 2004, provided a footpath to Helmdon's future. Now, six years later, it's time for a refresh.

Many action points in the orignal Action Plan have been achieved and Helmdon is an even stronger and more vibrant community as a result.

But much has changed in the last few years and the village faces new challenges and pressures that didn't exisit when the first Parish Plan was drawn up.

The Helmdon Parish Plan Group (HPPG) successfully applied for a grant to refresh the Parish Plan and in 2009 were awarded £2,000 from Northants ACRE.

The Parish Plan II project was launched at the Annual Parish Meeting in April with a target of delivering the completed plan in time for the Annual Parish Meeting in 2011.

The purpose of a Parish Plan is to "... set out a vision of what is important, how new development can best be fitted in, the design and quality standards it should meet, how to preserve local features and to map out the facilities which the community needs to safeguard for the future." Plans should "identify key facilities and services, set out the problems that need to be tackled and demonstrate how distinctive character and features can be preserved."
