Binley Woods Parish Plan Main Questionnaire 5 Section H – And Finally… Answers given by less than 5 respondents have been omitted from the above charts. Binley Woods Parish Plan Main Questionnaire 6 Section H – And Finally… Questions H5: Have you any other comments you would like to make? Comments made in this section that relate to either specific questions or particular topics covered elsewhere in the questionnaire have been included in the analysis of the relevant question / section. Here are the remaining responses: A big thank you to the doers Although I am not able to become involved, it is great to see people are taking time to care about the village. As I work I do not have time to use the village facilities, the hall, buses, library as much as I would like. But as I'm retiring next year I hope to be a more active member of the community. As our children attended Wolston C of E School, we spent a lot of our 'family social time' in Wolston. They have a definite village identity which I feel we lack here in Binley Woods. I feel we need more open, free events which are very inclusive to encourage all residents to feel part of a village community. Eg village barbeque, Christmas tree event, etc. As we work full-time we are not able to use many of the facilities available in the village. It would be nice for people who work if more events were available in the evenings. We are retailers so we work on Saturday as well and thus unavailable to attend such events as the open day. Can road noise from A46 be reduced? Decorated / lighted Christmas tree to compete with Wolston village. Do more in the village. We used to do loads of things in the village that we don't do now. We could have jubilee events, Halloween and Christmas parties for children. Get young involved in the village events. Elm Close lets the area down. Elm Close needs improvement on the garage areas. I know residents are being ripped off by Havering Management Ltd (London). Ensure retirement bungalows (Coombe Drive area) are for the elderly and not sold on (as one or two have been). Good luck, and thanks to those members of our community who are dealing with these questionnaires. A lot of hard work for some. Have lived here 7 years and don't plan to move - ever. Hope this will help to enhance our village and preserve it for future generations. Thanks. I appreciate the dedication of these residents to spare their time to care for our village and it's future. Thank you. I believe ex Rose Gardens should be turned into a sports venue ie Alan Higgs/Goals I do believe that the car wash on Rugby Road is not only an eyesore but on busy periods causes traffic congestion and also degrades the area I just wanted to say I disagree with the Chairman, who was quoted in the free paper as saying people of Binley Woods would not mind being classed as Coventry. I do mind. This is Warwickshire. Always has been. I love my community. I am very concerned about the number of 'buy to lets' in Elm Close which is destroying the local community. Short terms lets, with lack of engagement to the community, lack of maintenance of flats, 'social' problems with problem tenants - drug dealing, theft, protection services. I think there should be a marked walk taking in Binley Woods (Roseycombe - enter back of recreation ground) - Brandon Lane to Royal Oak - Brandon Wood (back of Brandon Hall) - Binley Woods return to Roseycombe. If Broad Street Rugby Club fails to prosper what would happen to that building and land? How would the village be able to prevent gypsies moving onto that space? I'm grateful for the stewardship of the Parish Council and their thoughtful improvements (keeping verges trimmed, eco-lighting, their advice on planning applications, tree-planting, recreation ground improvements, etc). Improve the look behind the shops in Woodlands Road by making shopkeepers and residents above responsible for rubbish around bins. Improvements to Elm Close. Knock down garages to create large car park. It is worth protecting. Binley Woods Parish Plan Main Questionnaire 7 Section H – And Finally… Let's inform residents and try to encourage ownership or guardianship of our roads and village. Let's make people proud to be part of this community. We live here but we are only looking after it. Let’s make Binley Woods more attractive by having raised flower beds at the entrances to the village and by planting shrubs and trees in key locations and spring bulbs along the Rugby Road and on our side of the island. More community events - open air cinema night etc. Jubilee day was great, brought people together with only one thing in common - Binley Woods. My wife and I often walk to B&Q, Morrisons shopping and often get sprayed with water/mist etc from car wash. Could you tell them to tidy up their act or put some kind of shield up to protect the general public walking past. Need more road sweepers, especially autumn. Need to encourage upkeep of houses, particularly frontages.

  • 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.
