Have your say about the future of Stoneleigh and Ashow
Here’s your chance to have your say about the future of Stoneleigh and Ashow Parish
The Localism Act of 2011 gave local residents power to shape the future of their communities by putting local plans at the heart of a new planning system. Under the Act, councils and local people can make decisions about any future housing, its design and location. Stoneleigh and Ashow Parish Council has made the decision to take on these new powers and to prepare what is known as a ‘Neighbourhood Plan’.
But, important though housing development is, the plan is about much more. It can include policies governing the future of green spaces, heritage assets, the environment, community facilities, economic activity and transport and roads - all things that will impact the community in the coming years – in a legally binding document which will be used by Warwick District Council to determine planning applications in the Parish.
It is really important that everyone contributes their views so that the plan truly reflects the collective view of the community as best it can. We have the chance to make decisions for Stoneleigh and Ashow’s future rather than leaving it to others. Let’s make sure we make the most of the opportunity.
Here's how you can get involved
This questionnaire is an important part of the process. We want to hear from you about what you think is good or bad about living in Stoneleigh, Ashow, Stareton and the surrounding areas, so that we can understand what needs to change and your aspirations for the villages.
This is your chance to really make a difference to the future of Stoneleigh & Ashow Parish. We hope you will become involved by completing the questionnaire and helping the Parish Council to deliver a Neighbourhood Plan that truly reflects local need.
Ideally we would prefer for people to put their names on this questionnaire as we may like to talk to you to get a better understanding of your comments, however we realise that some will not want to do so. All responses will be used solely for preparing a Neighbourhood Plan for Stoneleigh and Ashow. Your participation in this questionnaire, together with your individual responses to the questions asked, will be kept confidential and no-one will be identifiable in any published results.
If you would like any assistance with completing this questionnaire, please contact Stoneleigh & Ashow Parish Council’s Neighbourhood Plan Advisory Committee on Tel 07886 000155 or e-mail stoneleighashowparishcouncil@gmail.com
