(Lepus) has prepared this Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA) screening report of the Brailes Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) on behalf of Stratford-on-Avon District Council. This is a requirement of Regulation 102 of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 20101. 1.2 HRA process 1.2.1 HRA considers the potential adverse impacts of plans and projects on designated Special Areas of Conservation (SACs), classified Special Protection Areas (SPAs) and listed Ramsar sites. This is in accordance with the Habitats Directive2 and the Birds Directive3. SACs, SPAs and Ramsar sites are collectively known as the Natura 2000 network. 1.2.2 Should a development, plan or project be considered likely to have a significant impact on a Natura 2000 site, the HRA proceeds to an Appropriate Assessment. If Likely Significant Effects (LSEs) cannot be avoided, mitigated or compensated to the extent that the conservation status of the EU site will not be undermined, the HRA proceeds to Imperative Reasons of Overriding Interest (IROPI). 1.3 Background 1.3.1 Lepus completed an HRA screening of the Stratford-on-Avon Core Strategy in April 20144, concluding that it was not likely to lead to adverse effects on any Natura 2000 sites.

EDITORIAL...AND ASK FREDDIE A warm welcome to the Village News. It’s that time of year when the Christmas decorations are put away and the supplies of Christmas cake are dwindling. It’s a good op- portunity to look ahead to new and, hopefully, exciting, things or perhaps just time to put a few more logs on the fire and find a good book. Whatever you choose, I wish you a warm and happy winter. Do take extra care in the ice.

  • Brailes, Sutton Under Brailes; Tysoe, Oxhill and Whatcote
    BRAILES, SUTTON UNDER BRAILES; TYSOE, OXHILL AND WHATCOTE Growing together in unity Page 1 of 22 BISHOP’S INTRODUCTION These beautiful parishes, set in the centre of England, with their cherished rural environment, their strong commitment to the well being of their villages and their support for the life of the Church, provide a very attractive place in which to live and minister. There is a deeply exciting opportunity to grow the spiritual life of the people in this group of parishes, release more of the gifts of the people of God, reach out to those distanced in any way from the Church and lead the different church communities into a more integrated, common mission and ministry. The appointment of a new Associate (House for Duty) Minister, along with the involvement of able retired clergy living in the Benefices, provides a wonderful opportunity to build an effective clergy and lay team across the whole group. The parishes are some of the most southernmost in the Diocese, geographically and emotionally quite distant from Coventry and the Cathedral, and who may have felt over the years a lack of connection with the ‘centre’. I am therefore very encouraged about some of the steps being taken mutually to help re-build a closer connection and positive relationship. I endorse and fully support these endeavours. When I came to the Diocese in 2008, I was charged by the then Archbishop of Canterbury to ‘release the missionary energies of the Diocese of Coventry’. That is what we have been doing over the last years, helped by our clear Mission Purpose and supported by our strategic emphasis on growing healthy church communities.

  • Ilmington Parish Plan
    PARISH PLAN 2006 OUR VILLAGE OUR FUTURE What we believe is important What we like and do not like What we wish to keep to change, to improve in our community T the request of Ilmington Parish Council a steering group was set up in December 2003 to prepare the way for creating a parish plan. During 2004, Ain consultations and workshops at the village hall, the pubs, the show and Christmas fete, we learned about the concerns of different age groups and sections of the community. Regular update leaflets were delivered to every household and contact was maintained throughout with the parish council. In the light of this, a questionnaire was put together in February 2005 and delivered to every household in the parish. Four out of five households completed it, demonstrating a strong community spirit, and the energy of the volunteers who collected the surveys. Your replies were analysed and every household received a summary report. We presented a first draft plan at an open day in July 2005, when more than 30 people offered comments and suggestions, and a revised draft was put on display at Ilmington Show. The final plan, including the village design statement, is based on your views. This key document identifies what facilities and services the people of Ilmington want to be improved and how they believe the character of the parish should be preserved. An action plan has been drawn up and submitted to Ilmington Parish Council, Stratford on Avon District Council, Warwickshire County Council and other interested bodies. The parish plan will further strengthen our case in bidding for funds to improve local facilities.
