  • Your Draft Local Neighbourhood Plan A
    Mrs Marie Zizzi Clerk to the Council Cheswick Green Village Hall Cheswick Way, Cheswick Green Solihull B90 4JA Tel: 01564 700168 [email protected] www.cheswickgreen -pc.gov.uk Your Draft Local Neighbourhood Plan A consultation How do you want your area to look in the future? More Housing? Protected Green Belt and countryside? Medical facilities? School? Employment? Social facilities? Play and sport facilities? Roads and footpaths? Other facilities? Please let us have your comments and ideas using the attached response sheet. Then please attend one of the consultation meetings which will be held to discuss these responses. The Parish Council needs and will value your views, which are vital to develop the Plan, which will influence Solihull Borough Council's future plans for the Borough Cheswick Green Neighbourhood Plan Cheswick Green Parish, prior to the new developments. THIS IS IMPORTANT Planning affects all of us. You will have seen the new housing being built off Tanworth Lane, and have heard of the approval for many hundreds of new houses at Blythe Valley, adjacent to Illshaw Heath. These will double the number of households in Cheswick Green since 2016. And Solihull Council’s new house building ambitions don’t end there. North of Cheswick Green Village, approaching 2000 more houses are proposed either side of Dog Kennel Lane and off Tanworth Lane/Dickens Heath Road. Cheswick Green Parish Council believes this proposed vast increase will cause harm to area and cause serious problems for most of us who live here. The two maps illustrate the likely impact. The Parish Council will continue to oppose harmful new development, but wants to ensure that the community supports and backs this action.

  • Cheswick Green Parish Council (Solihull)
    Case study on the experience of newly established local (parish and town) councils CHESWICK GREEN PARISH COUNCIL (SOLIHULL) Background Cheswick Green is a village and civil parish within the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull, between Birmingham and Coventry. It was previously part of the civil parish of Hockley Heath, and lies approximately 3 miles south west of Solihull town centre. It is a planned settlement from the 1970s and is large enough to sustain six shops including a newsagent, post office and hairdresser, as well as a pub, village hall and school. There is also a recreation area, childres plagroud, ope spae ad football pitch. Cheswick Green is one the four new civic parishes formed on 1st April 2009 when the large parish of Hockley Heath was abolished. The precept was originally set at £50,000 but it has reduced in the second year to £45,000. It has almost 2,000 people on the electoral register and it has five elected councillors. Former Hockley Heath Parish covered a diverse area with three clearly defined settlements, as well as a new development at Dickens Heath. This fourth community grew quickly and soon established its own identity, with facilities and a community association but no democratically elected body. The initial request to set up a separate parish council for Dickens Heath came in 2005, in response to lobbying by local residents. The high precept that was being paid seemed disproportionate for Dickens Heath, as the didt eefit fro uh of the gree spae and parkland maintained by Hockley Heath Parish Council. Initially, the Borough Council looked at creating three new parish councils in Dickens Heath, Tidbury Green and a single one for Hockley Heath and Cheswick Green.
