Initial consultations with the village

A community update meeting was held on January 14th 2026 in Clavering Village Hall. A presentation was made by members of the Steering Group, primarily explaining the process for selecting sites for development. There was also the opportunity for questions to be asked, to meet members of the Steering Group and provide aspirations for projects that may be funded through the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). The documents below are from that event.

3 community engagement events were held in the summer of 2025. A survey to seek views on the design aspects of housing development was available for attendees to complete. The document below provides a summary of those responses.
