Please complete this survey if you would like to help shape the future of Harden. Your views will make a valuable contribution to producing a plan that reflects and responds to the aspirations of local people, businesses and community groups for the next 15 years.

Producing a Neighbourhood Plan provides an opportunity to develop policies for Harden, Ryecroft and St. Ives on issues such as: housing; community facilities; green and open spaces; heritage; local business, shops and jobs; transport, travel and accessibility, and more.

Whilst the plan is not a way to stop development, it is an opportunity to help shape it, ensuring new development is appropriate to Harden and meets the needs of local people both now and for future generations. The Plan will be used to help determine planning applications for the village and will outline what standards are expected in new development.
