Contact Details The foundations of this Community Plan are the responses from residents of Chorleywood to a questionnaire circulated to every household in the Parish. A Committee comprising representatives of the main community organisations within Chorleywood has analysed these responses and compiled this report. The main issues and concerns highlighted by residents are: • Protection of our open spaces and green environment • Lack of adequate parking facilities in the shopping area • Lack of diversity of shops and businesses in the village • Üóèèçìñê÷õäĦæòñïòæäïõòäçö • Öäìñ÷äìñìñêèģèæ÷ìùèóïäññìñêæòñ÷õòïöæòñöìçèõìñê the local demographics. • Senior school admissions policies Ýëìöçòæøðèñ÷öè÷öòø÷öóèæìĤæ÷òóìæö÷òåèìñùèö÷ìêä÷èçäñç allocates them to local organisations who have agreed to accept responsibility for follow-through. A Community Plan is a document setting out achievable aims and visions for the future of a community, based upon the views of its residents gathered through survey, research and community participation. The Localism Act 2011 gave communities a greater say in the development of their area. In October 2013, the Parish Council decided to use the powers of the Localism Act along with wider-reaching aims and objectives covering other aspects of community life, to produce a Community Plan and Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) for Chorleywood. A Steering Group, led by the Parish Council, was formed from a large number of community-interest groups.
