HPP3 – Stage 1

In August/September 2024, Helmdon Parish Council asked residents “What do you love about living in Helmdon and want to see protected or continued”, and “What do you not like about living in Helmdon and want to see changed?” This short Stage 1 survey was used to inform the more detailed questions in the Stage 2 survey published in March 2025.

HPP1 and HPP2

The first Helmdon Parish Plan (HPP1) was published in 2004 and a refresh was carried out in 2011 (HPP2).  The Plan provided a footpath to Helmdon’s future.

Many action points in the original Action Plan have been achieved and Helmdon is a stronger and more vibrant community as a result.

But much has changed in the last few years and the village faces new challenges and pressures that didn’t exist when the first Parish Plan was drawn up.   It is now time for HPP3!

The purpose of a Parish Plan is to “… set out a vision of what is important, how new development can best be fitted in, the design and quality standards it should meet, how to preserve local features and to map out the facilities which the community needs to safeguard for the future.” Plans should “identify key facilities and services, set out the problems that need to be tackled and demonstrate how distinctive character and features can be preserved.”
