The South Worcestershire Development Plan (SWDP) has been in development ever since the change in government. Wychavon has now completed the proposal and the SWDP went into a public consultation process. Roadshows have taken place all over Wychavon with the one in Evesham taking place on Wednesday the 9th of November 2011 at the Town Hall in Evesham. The consultation period finished on the 18th of November 2011. This was the last chance for Hampton residents to make comments on the proposal.

Comments on the proposal are being processed and can be viewed via the SWDP website by following the link below to the SWDP online consultation portal. Select the 'Read and  view comments on document' option and you will be able to view a copy of the proposal document and you will be able to see comments on individual sections of the document. The Evesham developments are listed in chapter 7 and the important ones for Hampton are paragraphs 7.11 till 7.16 including 7.1.1 and 7.2.1.

During the previous consultation process on the South Worcestershire Joint Core Strategy (the predecessor of the SWDP) the Hampton Residents Association prepared an official response document. The same issues are still valid now and may therefore be interesting reading. Find a link to the document below.
