important to include / explore further within the Neighbourhood Planning process. • To make stakeholders aware of future opportunities to engage in the plan making process. • To contribute to the core evidence base and inform the ongoing consultation and

5) Issues and Priorities Group Discussions – Results
Facilitated discussion took place within two groups. Each group looked at the key issues and opportunities for consideration within the Dunton Bassett Neighbourhood Plan area under the following topics; (History & Heritage, Housing, Environment, Flooding, Open Spaces, Renewable Energy, Facilities & Services, Employment & Economy, Traffic & Transport and Vision for Dunton Bassett Parish). Tables 3 - 11 detail the key discussion points recorded under each topic area by each of the two groups.
Table 3: Issues & Priorities – History & Heritage:
History & Heritage
Group 1 • Retain existing nature of village with historic nature of buildings, listed buildings etc.
New development must maintain rural nature of village.
• Design guidelines for new developments to avoid red brick boxes
Group 2
• Scheduled ancient monument
• Linear village? But with side roads
• 11 listed buildings
5
• History group (inactive)
• Likelihood of listed buildings being affected in future? – unlikely
• Conservation area? – can safeguard assets by requiring planning
Table 4: Issues & Priorities – Open Spaces & Environment & Public Rights of Way
Open Spaces & Environment & Public Rights of Way
Group 1 • Any public paths or play areas must have accessibility
• Play area can be designated as a local green space because of its special significance
• Plan B play space
Group 2
• Footpaths – not all Leicestershire Round
• Open spaces? – not within village. No centre/village green
• Neighbourhood plan could specify need/desire for open space – linked to
developments?
• Ancient monument site will never be built on – closest thing to village centre? – but not
flat land – uses limited
• Land ownership will regulate/influence open spaces
• Open space would help community feel
Table 5: Issues & Priorities – Facilities & Services
Facilities & Services
Group 1
• Bus service needs to go through village
• Villagers would like to see a local shop – could be more than shop, diversify as a
hub/post office/café/library
• Need additional play space for older children with more space – skate park, outdoor
gym
Group 2
• Post office missed
• Section 106 money – used towards multipurpose facility?
• Need more sympathetic planning process to help small businesses set up using
housing stock if necessary
• Ways of facilitating set up of shop/post office/village facility?
• What do young families want access to?
• Playground is very important - would like to own site/secure future
• Possible site for a community shop

Table 6: Issues & Priorities – Traffic & Transport:
Traffic & Transport
Group 1
• Double yellow lines around village hall
• Additional traffic calming measures e.g. speed cameras NOT humps – pedestrian
crossing/pelican. Can be funded by Section 106
• Church Lane speed limit
• A426 speed limit
Group 2
• Bus service does not go through the village
• Rat run to avoid traffic lights
• Filter lane/lights at lights?
• Parking on both sides does slow traffic flow
• New link road – will have to come across very close to village – between Broughton
Astley and Dunton Bassett
• Look at impact of this and new junctions when deciding where to allocate potential
building sites
• Street parking a problem
• Ensure new developments don’t make situation worse – lay by/turning circles
Table 7: Issues & Priorities – Employment & Business/Local Economy
Employment & Business/Local Economy
Group 1
• Encourage rural businesses from rural community e.g. Farm shop – e.g. Farndon
Fields
• Café for walkers
Group 2
• Small business – employing mums
• Encourage small businesses etc, so more employment opportunities in village
Table 8: Issues & Priorities – Housing
Housing
Group 1
• Retain basic footprint of village without elongating development and eradicating
boundaries with neighbouring communities
• Put conditions around new development to encourage local people to be able to stay in
the village
7
• Ensure affordable housing need are met
• Old Coach Road – allow for housing, but allocate green space to restrict
Group 2
• Sufficient parking allocation for new houses
• What does the village want? Type of housing?
• Unrealistic to want to keep village as it is
• Smaller developments wanted by some people
• Suitable housing for aging population
• Best housing mix
Table 9: Issues & Priorities – Communications
Communications
Group 1
