Survey Closes 29th Feb

2/22/2020

With over 650 responses so far we're entering the final week of our survey - We're delighted so many Residents and Businesses have taken the time to Have Their Say on the Future of the Village and encourage anyone who wants to participate to submit their responses.

It takes under 10 minutes so what are you waiting for?

Survey now Live

11/22/2019

We're now live with both our Resident and Business / Non-Resident Surveys

We need your input on key aspects of local development, including
Housing
What types of housing do we need in the Village, and where should they be located?

Central Government is setting targets for the number of new homes and we can collectively identify the ideal locations that should be considered as most appropriate ensuring proper integration within our infrastructure to facilitate the growth and development of a proper community.

Landscape and the Green Belt
Virginia Water is open and retains a strong element of space and connection to the environment - how do we retain this whilst welcoming new dwellings into the community?

Transport - Road and Rail Links
The previous 2030 Local Plan by Runnymede Council was rejected in part due to insufficient consultation on key transport corridors. Since then we have lost parking around the rail station through the loss of the Bourne Car Park

Within the Neighbourhood Plan we can consider how transport links will be impacted by any new dwellings and what opportunities there are to make improvements.

Schools, Shops and Amenities
Virginia Water has outstanding local schools and active community centres.

We would like to ensure any new developments support and enhance these key features of village life - the Neighbourhood Plan will allow the collective voice to be heard and help protect these assets.

Links to the survey are on the Homepage so please take the time to participate

Trumps Green Infant School Summer Fair

7/20/2019

Another Summer Saturday, another opportunity to take the Neighbourhood plan out to the Community at the local School Fairs.

Despite the fair being partly moved indoors due to the weather the sun came out and we avoided the worst of the showers.

John, Nicola and Jonathan were on hand to explain how the Neighbourhood Forum had been set up and the role it could play in giving local residents a voice into the planning process which would set the planning direction across Virginia Water for the next 10-20 years

St Ann's Heath School Barbeque

7/5/2019

It was great to finally take the Neighbourhood Plan out to residents of Virginia Water and begin getting their feedback.

There was lots of interest in what the Local Plan meant for Virginia Water and how we could start to shape it for residents.

Next Stop: Trumps Green School Fair on the 20th, we look forward to seeing you there
