Neighbourhood Plans (NP) were introduced by the Government in 2011 to empower local communities to develop a shared vision for their neighbourhood and shape the development and growth of their local area. Although NPs are formulated to represent the views of the local community, they must also be consistent with planning policies in Local Plans (Rugby Local Plan) and National Planning policies. There are many stages involved in the preparation of NPs. The Parish Council has already completed the first stage which is to have the Parish designated as a Neighbourhood Area (NA) by Rugby Borough Council (RBC). The second stage is to prepare the draft NP which involves gathering evidence, consulting residents and businesses within the NA so that policies and proposals can be formulated to reflect the views and wishes of the community. This survey is an important part of this stage. The following stages are to produce a Draft NP and to consult with the community and statutory agencies and organisations such as the Environment Agency and the RBC. The Draft NP may then be amended to take account of the feedback before being submitted to RBC along with all the supporting evidence. RBC then check that the NP meets all the qualifying criteria and if so it publicises the NP for at least 6 weeks to invite further comments and appoints an independent Examiner to examine the NP. Once the Examiner issues the report on the NP which might propose that changes be made to it, RBC then considers the report and decides whether it should proceed to a referendum. If a referendum is held then all residents in the NA who are eligible to vote can do so and if 50% or more want the NP to proceed then it is “made” and becomes part of the Development Plan. The village of Brandon lies between two much larger villages (Wolston and Binley Woods) where the emerging Local Plan is proposing new housing. These villages have facilities and amenities that are used by residents of the NA. The separate identities and character of the individual settlements of Binley Woods, Brandon and Wolston is an existing issue due to the limited amount of undeveloped land separating the 3 settlements. This issue doesn’t apply to the same extent to Bretford although it has other issues of being more detached from local facilities and services. The NA lies within the Green Belt which strictly limits the potential for additional development in the form of new housing and businesses. The village of Brandon is inset within the Green Belt but Bretford is “washed over” meaning that the whole settlement is subject to Green Belt policies as are all areas of the NA beyond the settlement boundary of Brandon. The emerging Rugby Local Plan is not proposing any alteration of the Green Belt boundary as it currently affects the NA. However there is a well-known site in the NA (Brandon Stadium) which contains land that is classed as previously developed land (PDL) and the site has been the subject of a proposal for redevelopment. It is therefore important that the Neighbourhood Plan considers what type of redevelopment would be supported by the Local Community if and when a proposal is submitted to RBC. Although the NP must reflect Local Plan and National Planning Policies which will be applied to any planning application that may be submitted, the NP can play an important part in shaping the way in which new development can best reflect the wishes and needs of the community.

The Neighbourhood Plan gives us the opportunity to manage that development in line with the needs, priorities and aspirations of the people who live here. Your views will help us to formulate policies to ensure that if new housing is proposed within the NA, that it reflects the views of the local community in terms of whether a site or sites should be developed for housing and if so the way in which this should be brought about. 7 Over the next 15 years would you like to see any additional houses being built in NA n YES / n NO If Housing is to be built within the NA: 8 What scale of housing do you think would be most appropriate?

  • APPENDIX 5: BRANDON and BRETFORD NDP INFRASTRUCTURE: HIGHWAYS and TRAFFIC ASPIRATIONS Introduction
    APPENDIX 5: BRANDON and BRETFORD NDP INFRASTRUCTURE: HIGHWAYS AND TRAFFIC ASPIRATIONS Introduction Appendix 5 is a supplement to section 10 ‘INFRASTRUCTURE’ in the Brandon and Bretford 'NDP Main Document‘, which outlines infrastructure issues linked to strategic policy objectives. Section 10 in the main report deals with policies related to highway, traffic and road safety issues. Drainage, flood zones and digital communication are also included in section 10 but are not detailed in this Appendix 5. The Brandon and Bretford NDP has been prepared by members of the NDP Steering Group, formed by the Brandon and Bretford Parish Council. Appendix 5 is produced with the additional purpose of identifying highways and traffic concerns and related pedestrian movements within the parish raised by residents in previous studies and meetings and from responses to the more recent Questionnaire circulated in December 2016 to all parish residents and businesses. These issues are examined in some detail in this Appendix and appropriate ameliorative measures are put forward in order to address highway, road traffic and pedestrian movements and to maintain the present environmental and rural character of the parish. The remedial measures presented below represent aspirations and proposals that would offer solutions to remedy current and potential concerns that need to be addressed within the parish. They cannot yet be considered as committed works until funding and implementation is agreed by Highways England, Local Highway authority, Warwickshire C.C. or Rugby B.C. However, it is important that such issues within the Parish are identified and that suitable ameliorative measures are proposed for future consideration when funds become available.

  • Binley Woods Parish Plan Interim Report Presenting the Survey Results
    Binley Woods Parish Plan Interim Report Presenting The Survey Results March 2013 “It's a great place to live and I want to stay here forever xx” Isobel, age 4 Foreword by Paul Salisbury Dear Resident, Last autumn, we issued a Parish Plan questionnaire throughout Binley Woods; some 1140 questionnaires were delivered door-to-door by our dedicated band of volunteers. We subsequently received 459 completed responses, more than 40% of households and businesses in the village. This is a fantastic result and I would like to thank everyone who took the time and effort to complete and return their survey form. We also asked the younger members of our community for their views via three young people’s questionnaires covering pre-school age through to age 18; these results are presented separately at the end of the report. The response rates from these surveys were a little disappointing, but we were encouraged by the eagerness of the pupils (supported by the staff) at Binley Woods Primary School to have their say. In this report you will find the key findings from the Parish Plan surveys presented as a series of charts with accompanying commentary. Where a significant number of respondents expressed concern over a given topic or issue, we suggest some possible actions to address those concerns; these actions are shown in the ‘green box’ at the end of each section of the report. I would encourage each of you to consider the suggested actions and to let us have your views as to their desirability and feasibility. You can provide feedback on the survey results and actions at our forthcoming Parish Plan Open Day in the Village Hall on Saturday, 18th May.

  • Brandon and Bretford Neighbourhood Development Plan Decision Statement
    Agenda No 5(b) Special Council – 4th June 2019 Brandon and Bretford Neighbourhood Development Plan Decision Statement Report of the Head of Growth and Investment 1. PURPOSE OF REPORT 1.1 The Localism Act 2011 introduced a right for communities to draw up neighbourhood plans. Brandon and Bretford Parish Council, with support and advice from the Borough Council, has produced a neighbourhood plan which has subsequently undergone an examination and a referendum. This report considers whether the Brandon and Bretford Neighbourhood Development Plan to 2031 (Appendix 1) should be adopted by the Borough Council as part of the statutory Development Plan and contains a decision statement, as required by the statutory requirements, setting out the decision reached. 2. BACKGROUND INFORMATION 2.1 The 2011 Localism Act allowed for local communities to shape their areas by enabling town and parish councils and other community groups to prepare neighbourhood development plans. A detailed legislative framework for undertaking neighbourhood planning was set out in the Neighbourhood Planning Regulations 2012. Additional regulations were brought in in 2016 and 2017. 2.2 A neighbourhood plan, once adopted, forms part of the statutory development plan and will sit alongside the new Local Plan prepared by the Borough Council. Should planning permission be sought in areas covered by an adopted neighbourhood plan, the application must be determined in accordance with the neighbourhood plan and the Local Plan. As the neighbourhood plan was examined under the previous Core Strategy, if there is any conflict between the policies in the neighbourhood plan and the Local Plan then the Local Plan policies will take precedence.
