Phase 2: Preparing the Statement:

A series of 6 meetings were held in which the contents of each section of the Statement were discussed. These were written up and then reviewed. Five people were actively engaged in the process. When the words were agreed, a copy was sent to TVBC Planning Department for their observations. (July 2004) TVBC asked us to omit some material and those matters deemed not to be design were removed to an appendix.

September – December 2004
Revisions and submission to TVBC of second Draft which needed only minor amendments. Leaflet to all householders inviting comment before final version of Draft Design Statement prepared. 2005

Photographs were added to the Design Statement and subsequent meetings concerned refinement and layout.
