Neighbourhood planning is a vital part of the Government's plans to help local communities play a much stronger role in the shaping of their area. For the first time, local people can create a plan that allows them to develop planning policies that reflect the priorities of their area and has real legal weight.

Stebbing Parish Council commenced their plan in 2016 and was approved by referendum on 23rd June 2022, details of the result below.

534 (97%) votes to approve the plan and 17 (3%) votes against. Turnout was 48%.

Uttlesford District Council formally adopted the plan on 20th July 2022.

The current Neighbourhood Plan, the inspectors report and related documentation can be accessed from the Plan & Documents tab on the Neighbourhood Plan menu. This also includes related evidence gathered during the production of the plan.

Details of the 3 resident consultations, minutes of meetings and general updates from the Committee can also be accessed from the Neighbourhood Plan menu.

Stebbing Cricket Club

Message from Stebbing Cricket Club Committee

Hope you are all having a lovely winter and are looking forward to the summer of cricket we have planned for the year ahead.

Firstly, 2024 was a massive success for the club. Following the unfortunate passing of our chairman Phil Barker, volunteers, new and old, stepped up to guide the club through this difficult period. Whilst the cricket was at times of a questionable quality, the club flourished and many enjoyable afternoons of cricket were had.

The club would like to congratulate Ben Riley on becoming our new Club President and wish him well with his efforts to continue to grow the club. With this new appointment we say goodbye to our outgoing President, Kevin Farr who we thank for his years of dedication and hard work to the club. Also, we welcome new committee members, Paul Hazle (Groundsman), Graeme Dewar, Max Glen-Doepel (Fixtures & Comms), Richard Cross (Dunmow CC Partnership Officer), Chris Townsend (Safeguarding Officer). Also, we congratulate Wally Crow on formally becoming Head Groundsman. The club is always looking for new volunteers to help support - if you want to get involved, please get in touch.

We thank our VPs and Corporate Sponsors for their continued support and hope to maintain these donations moving forward. Growing these existing fundraising methods, along with the introduction of membership and club socials, will enable the club to strengthen its financial position and help the club to thrive in collaboration with the local community.

To keep you entertained through some of these gloomy, cricketless evenings, we have a couple of social events planned:

⁠Christmas Drinks, The White Hart Pub, Friday 20th December at 7.30pm.
⁠Pub Quiz, The White Hart Pub, Wednesday 5th February.

Thank you to everyone for a lovely 2024 season! As we look ahead to next season, we believe the club will be in store for a successful 2025 and will be able to work towards its mission: to create opportunities for participation in village cricket, for both new and experienced players, in a way that enhances village life and builds communities in Stebbing and the surrounding areas.
