Terry's community forum
A community forum was set up in 2009, comprising representatives from local communities, including the school, church and the neighbouring racecourse. The forum discusses planning applications before they are submitted to us, and promotes the overall understanding of the development throughout the community.
See the Terry's community forum's terms of reference and notes of the meetings in April 2015, July 2015 and September 2016.
