[email protected] Neighbourhood Planning Front Runner scheme. Dear Sir, October 2011 The community of Stonnall is part of Lichfield DC. Situated in SE Staffordshire on the edge of the West Midlands. Our Village is set in the heart of the green belt and because of its closeness to the conurbation it is regarded as extremely vulnerable. We see the Localism Bill as an opportunity for a small village to show how we can respond to the core message. The Village Plan. “It is intended to pull together all the information in the strategy into a comprehensive Village plan that will demonstrate what benefits we can achieve by working together as a Community” (CLG Website) We believe that our Community is exceptional in the way a small Village of only 1200 adult population works together to deliver many of the things that the Bill hopes to achieve. We also recognise the requirement to address the needs of both an ageing population and those setting out in life.
