Based on a careful analysis of the more-than 200 detailed responses received from our public consultation events, the draft Vision sets out six big ideas for the future of Sneinton. 

It is worded as a manifesto or letter from the Sneinton community, to be read by anyone proposing to make a new development in Sneinton. The idea is that a developer will take on board the six ideas while they are hatching their plans, and try to respond to them in the designs and drawings that they put in for planning permission.

Examples would be- 

At the moment, people, groups and businesses in  Sneinton are usually excluded from the big developments that happen in and around the area, only getting to see plans when they are put in for planning permission with the Council. By that stage, it is often too late to get the plans changed to be better for Sneinton, so it just comes down to complaining. 

In the future, the Sneinton Design Vision will make it clear how new developments can help to improve Sneinton: if the designs submitted for planning meet the ideas in the Neighbourhood Design Vision, then the community will support them through the process!
