A Joint Plan for Pill/Easton-in-Gordano & Abbots Leigh

North Somerset Council (NSC) has now formally received the Neighbourhood Plan and and has organised another consultation, whcih will end on 14 March 2021.  Thereafter it should go to the external Examiner probably in early March.  You can download the Neighbourhood Plan, the Consultation Statement and the Parish Councils' response to the Consultation Statement.

You can also download the Parish Councils' submission to the North Somerset Local Plan 2038.

In the meantime the North Somerset Local Plan 2038 has set out a Challenges and Choices document. There are four options for the growth which Government has imposed for this area which range from no change to 2000 new houses. The Neighbourhood Plan provides some defense against these proposals and your Parish Council will be making a robust response to the NSC consultation.

The vision is to create and maintain a distinctive, stable and sustainable neighbourhood which meets local needs and promotes strong communities. The Plan covers the area from Beggar Bush Lane at Leigh Woods down through Abbots Leigh, Ham Green and Pill to Easton-In-Gordano and to the Severn Estuary. Royal Portbury Dock is within the Plan area but has its own planning and development rules.
