Neighbourhood Plan Updates
There shall be an open meeting on the 21st February 2018 at 7:00pm in the Village Hall. Anyone interested in finding out more about the Neighbourhood Plan, or who would like to offer their services to help the Neighbourhood Plan, should please attend this meeting.
SUPPORT OUR VILLAGE
There is a re-application for planning of 39 houses on the Dassett Road, so with the £15 billion of government support over next five years from the ‘Autumn Budget' to increase housing supply, the pressure is on! New applications for development are on the horizon!
Our ‘Neighbourhood Plan' supports Stratford District Council's ‘Core Strategy' on housing and helps us as a community to shape our future. We have worked over the past year to get this running but, sadly, 3 members of the Steering Committee are leaving due to work commitment and retirement. We therefore urgently need new blood on the Steering Committee. The Parish Council supports us strongly and there has been a lot of progress in developing the plan, but there is still a lot more work to do!
Without your active support, we are unlikely to be able to complete the plan, and will be much less able to influence the outcome of issues affecting the village, including traffic in the High Street.
Please help determine our village's future by showing your interest and contact me or any of the committee on the email or telephone numbers below. If we can reinforce the Steering Committee, we will hold an open meeting in February 2018 at the ‘Village Hall' for all other interested parties who feel they can help.

About the Neighbourhood Plan
Fenny Compton is in its first year of working towards drafting a Neighbourhood Plan for the parish. The Neighbourhood Plan builds on the 2008 parish plan and provides a vision for how the parish should develop over the period up to 2031.
Neighbourhood Plans give residents much more power than parish plans, and through a robust programme of consultation, residents views on where, when and what type of development should take place are given statutory status.
Following an initial survey in spring 2017, the steering group are currently working on a number of specialist surveys and information gathering exercises, such as environment, history and heritage and business. This activity is all part of the build up to the main residents survey.
Neighbourhood Plans go through a comprehensive period of consultation with residents, prior to being put to a parish referendum, and hopefully, adoption.
