FOLLOWING the local development exhibition, held by East Hampshire District Council at the Millennium Centre in June, a delegation of Bramshott and Liphook parish councillors have met with officers of the South Downs National Park Authority.

Bramshott and Liphook Parish Council chairman Michael Croucher, planning committee chairman Jeanette Kirby and Philip Jordan met with Lucy Howard, the national park authority's head of strategic planning, and Keith Reed, interim director of planning.

Both Lucy and Keith confirmed the benefits of a Neighbourhood Plan, pointing out that the general view was the simpler it was kept the better the outcome with emphasis on housing, road and infrastructure.
