Since the aim seems to have meant different things to different councils and
since there seems to be overlap with the “Village Plan” documents I have added
a few points which might be added if it lies in the remit of this document. Other
villages have been quite aspirational in their VDS submissions. Our version
seems , to me, quite formal and even mechanistic .
I have detailed some possible additions in no particular order or ranking
There is no mention of the Schools; that Snaith serves the secondary pupils,6th
formers go to Selby , New College at Pontefract, and some to Scunthorpe. We
have a highly regarded primary school attracting applicants from outwith the
immediate area
Nothing about the active sports and leisure activities or how we might like them
to develop given money and ideas. We have an excellent cricket club catering
for 1st and 2nd teams and youth teams. The football club is also very active,
There are darts and domino teams and possibly other activities in or near the
village like the golf and bowls at Eggborough Power Station
More could be made of La Anchor’s reputation and the Railway Tavern is not
mentioned
2 Play areas not mentioned but are important assets
Industries and employers not mentioned e.g. the second biggest coal fired power
The VDS is not the same as a Village/Parish
Plan, although it is recognised that some
Parishes do overlap the two documents. They
have different purposes. A Parish Plan has no
status in planning decision making, and is
instead a rolling agenda for the Parish Council
to work towards a series of goals for improving
the village. The VDS is an architectural/urban
description that sets the framework for
developers’ to design appropriate new
development, and is adopted into the Local
Development Framework thus giving it weight.
As such, while most of the suggestions are
laudable, they are not relevant to the VDS.
Suggestions concerning the history section
(Weeland Roadway, landing points on the Aire
etc) are helpful to build the picture of why the
settlement was there in the first place and may
