YATELEY VILLAGE DESIGN FRAMEWORK SUPPLEMENTARY PLANNING DOCUMENT

The draft Village Design Framework (VDF) provides a long term planning and design framework to guide the development of Yateley centre. When adopted, it will form part of Hart District Council’s planning policy and will be referred to, along with other relevant policy, when planning applications are determined. The VDF will also establish the basis for attracting funding for improvements to public areas and streets in the centre, although it does not provide any guarantees of funding or development.

The VDF will be an important influence on the way in which the centre of the village evolves in the future, and on the types of development that are permitted. The Framework draws on comments made at previous consultation events and sets out ideas for improving the shopping areas, reducing the dominance of traffic and strengthening the centre’s local character.  

The Council asked for comments from 2 May to 13 June 2008 on a draft of the VDF.

The comments are currently being analysed, and the VDF amended if required.  The final Yateley VDF SPD should be available by the end of the year.
