Edenthorpe Parish Council have been successful in gaining our OS PSMA licence. This is valid from today and will enable us to use Ordnance survey maps for the purpose of our Neighbourhood Plan.
7.12.17
Last night the working group met once again to discuss progress of our Neighbourhood Plan. We are making good progress and the draft plan is currently being written. DMBC joined us with an electronic version of the house mapping for the village. Members found it really interesting to see how the village has developed over the years. You can see a definite trend of housing types depending on when they were built.
The PSMA/OSMA application form has been completed and we are awaiting the licence from Ordnance Survey Ltd. We can then utilise maps for ‘Our Plan’.
I can also report that we have been successful in gaining a further grant of £1600. This will be used to pay our consultant professional fees for completion of the draft plan.
