“Our vision is to ….????... Condover Parish as a ….?????....parish, with a close supportive community at its heart, promote a sustainable thriving economy with a robust infrastructure and maintain the ..??.. and character of the …..???....and its rural and agricultural surroundings”
The vision:
Summarises and expresses the underpinning priorities for the Neighbourhood Plan
Provides the base to inform objectives and delivery plans
Serves as the reference point for evaluation of progress and delivery

6. Objectives
Set out what you want to achieve in order to help make the ‘vision’ a reality
For each element of the vision there may be one or a number of objectives
Detailed policies and proposals will then follow from these objectives
Objectives should have clear purpose and deliver outcomes
Outcomes are things that have an impact – to keep things the same for a reason or to implement a change for a reason
What the examiners are saying:
“Together with the objectives, the vision establishes a framework for the rest of the Neighbourhood Plan and as one reads through, the link between the vision and the detailed policies of the Neighbourhood Plan is clear.”
