Aylesbury Vale District Council (AVDC) is preparing a new strategy ‘The Vale of Aylesbury Plan’ for development now that the former South-East Plan is being abandoned. It wants to reflect the feelings and views of residents across the District. The Parish of Great Horwood now has the chance to influence planning for new houses and commercial properties for the next 20 years. Your Parish Council is therefore carrying out a Public Consultation in questionnaire format to test parish opinion. This will enable us to provide a ‘Community View’ to AVDC in December 2011, assist us in formulating a Neighbourhood Plan for the parish, and better understand the wishes of the community. For the consultation to reflect those views in full, it is important your opinion is taken into account. Accordingly, we would appreciate some moments of your time to complete this valuable questionnaire.
All individual responses will be treated in the strictest confidence and will only be used for the purposes of this consultation. The information you give will have no relevance to any other contact or business you may have with Great Horwood Parish Council or with Aylesbury Vale District Council and will not be linked in any way to you as an individual. We shall use a list of addresses to ensure that we have delivered and collected all the questionnaires, but for no other purposes. Your name and address will NOT appear on the questionnaire, and the only identification will be by area.
