Following the Public Meeting on the 7th September in the Riverside Hall the Council received a good response from the residents of Bampton with their views about future development in Bampton.
 
The overall opinion from those letters is that  the old Bampton School Site should be the principal development site but that adequate infrastructure must be in place before building begins.  Many of the letters stated that most of the existing and newly constructed industrial buildings have been empty for several years and any further industrial units, if necessary, should be built at Scotts.  It was felt that any building, particularly industrial, on the Morebath Road would cause serious problems both for vehicles and pedestrians.

On 23rd October, 2009, Mid Devon District Council will be putting on an Exhibition of the Proposed Developments in Bampton, in St. Michael’s Community Hall, Station Road from 11 am until 7pm.  This is part of a Public Consultation on future developments and Planning Officers from Mid Devon Council will be there to answer your questions.  Forms will be available for you to give your opinion so  if you want to have a say in the future development of Bampton this will be your opportunity to make your views known.
We will put a letter box in Bampton Post Office again to collect the forms to send on to Mid Devon District Council.

The Public Consultation period ends on the 17th November, 2009 when all the submissions i.e. your letters and forms and those of Bampton Town Council, go to the Secretary of State to be examined by an Independent Planning Inspector.  He has the power to amend the Proposed Development Plan and will take your views into account when preparing his Report. The Inspector’s recommendation is binding on the Council, therefore if Bampton Town Council and its residents’ submissions are accepted Mid Devon District Council will amend the Plan.
