    Our ref: UT/2015/113995/01-L01 12a Regent Street Your ref: Area Designation Leamington Spa Warwickshire Date: 10 March 2015 CV32 5HQ Dear Sir, NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN AREA CONSULTATION FOR BAGINTON BUBBENHALL STONELEIGH AND ASHOW BAGINTON, BUBBENHALL, STONELEIGH AND ASHOW Thank you for engaging with the Environment Agency for the designation of the above area. Drawing up a neighbourhood plan is an opportunity to think about improving a local environment. General opportunities for neighbourhood planning include: · New green spaces or improvements to public space through new development. This could include linking open spaces to make green corridors for people and wildlife, planting trees, or making improvements to local waterways. · Helping a community to manage the risk of flooding by providing landscaping to manage and store water and by promoting the use of sustainable drainage systems (SuDS). · It could also help to promote the use of wood and recycled materials in construction and encourage energy efficiency measures for new builds. These measures will reduce the cost of construction for developers and help to reduce utility bills for those using the building. This will also help the environment by reducing emissions and improving air quality. A key principle of the planning system is to promote sustainable development. Sustainable development meets the needs for housing, employment and recreation while improving the environment. It ensures that the right development is built in the right place at the right time.
