In 2018 the Steering Group was set up as the body to manage and oversee the development of the Neighbourhood Plan on behalf of the Parish Council with specialist consultants, Place Studio, engaged for guidance. The Steering Group was made up of three parish Councillors and seven members of the public. Tasks such as identifying non-designated heritage assets, locally valued views, green spaces and character assessments were divided between the members of the group who each produced a report to the Steering Group. The Steering Group reports to the Parish Council, as the accountable body. The Steering Group evolved over time with four different chairman and a selection of members that changed over the period as background tasks emerged.
The development of the Plan was funded almost entirely by grants and included a number of technical assessments.
