Application for a new Neighbourhood Area and Forum
On 4 November 2021, Council approved the Broadsands, Churston and Galmpton (BCG) neighbourhood area and Forum. It comprises the parts of the former Brixham Peninsula neighbourhood plan area. These are areas that are not part of the “parished” town of Brixham. There was also a minor adjustment to the northern boundary. This is to reflect Ward Boundary adjustments.
The Brixham Peninsula Neighbourhood Plan (BPNP) is still the adopted Neighbourhood Plan for the Area
The Broadsands, Churston and Galmpton Neighbourhood proportion of Torbay Council’s Community Infrastructure Levy Fund (CIL) is available to support suitable community projects. Application forms to apply for these funds can be downloaded from the documents list below. As the BCG Neighbourhood Forum are not currently active, completed forms should be sent directly to Torbay Council Governance Support via Governance.Support@torbay.gov.uk. Please note any projects within the Brixham Parish Boundary should be directed to Brixham Town Council: brixhamtowncouncil.gov.uk
Further information is available from the Council’s Cabinet Report and subsequent Decision (November 2022) which set out the process and include project bids totalling £44,241.85, which have already been approved. Subsequent Community Infrastructure applications for BCG (BPNP) Neighbourhood Plan Area have been determined by the CIL Spend Panel and the Decisions are set out below:
