Have Your Say on the Future of Bardsey

Purpose

Bardsey Action Group is run by local volunteers and exists to support local residents in engaging with planning consultations and development proposals that affect our village.

Our aims

• Support residents practically – provide information, clear guides, crib sheets, and resources to help people put forward their own comments, whether in support, objection, or general feedback.
• Champion the Bardsey Neighbourhood Plan – ensuring that development reflects the vision already agreed by villagers, including protecting green spaces, enhancing footpaths, and supporting small-scale, sustainable growth.
• Challenge unsustainable development – opposing large-scale or inappropriate proposals that threaten Bardsey’s character, countryside, and infrastructure.
• Empower community voice – making it easier for every resident to have their say and ensure that local knowledge, evidence, and priorities are considered in planning decisions.

Our approach

Whilst we cannot support or object to every planning application in the village, BAG focuses on major proposals and those that could have a significant impact on the community, the environment, and delivery of the Neighbourhood Plan.

We are not anti-development – we support the right kind of development in the right places. We want housing and business opportunities that are proportionate, sustainable, and aligned with what the community has asked for.
