The first in a series of 4 public meetings to discuss and assess the appetite for setting up a Neighbourhood Development Plan for the parish was held last Friday night – 25 April 2014. The meeting took place in Earlswood Village Hall and was attended by 60 people. Presentations were made by 2 Parish Councillors, followed by a session whereby attendees considered the implications of a number of potential planning outcomes that could result as a consequence of Stratford District Council's Core Strategy which is now in final draft and posted questions and comments as to their views on these points. These comments will become the starting base for a new Neighbourhood Development Plan steering group if there is the appetite to undertake a Neighbourhood Development Plan. The meeting concluded with a short presentation by a local developer who put the business perspective and the meeting then concluded with a question and answer session which was lively and covered a broad range of planning topics. Protection of the Green Belt was dear to a large number of attendees’ hearts. The meeting Chairman concluded by advising that undertaking a Neighbourhood Development Plan would take a lot of work and input from a good sized committee, probably numbering between 25 and 30, with people from all walks of life becoming involved. A very good percentage of people left contact details in order to be kept up to date with developments and the Parish Council were encouraged by the number of people who expressed an interest in assisting in the preparation of a Neighbourhood Development Plan. The meetings continue with the next on at Tanworth Village Hall on Sunday 27th April, followed by another two – one at Earlswood Village Hall and on at Tanworth Village Hall. All details are on the Parish Council website as well as the two Residents’ Association websites.
