  2. Your village, your Whitton and Heathfield 1st November 2017, Whitton Community Association

  3. Village Planning • Phase 1 • In November 2010 we sent out the All in One Survey to every household asking about the priorities of residents in each local area, what people liked about where they lived, what could be improved and how people would like to get involved. • In Whitton and Heathfield people said the areas most important to them were: • Local parks and open spaces (49%) • Shopping in your local high street (47%) • Level of crime and anti-social behaviour (40%) • Public transport (28%) • Library services (26%)

  4. Village Planning • Phase 1 • The information collected from the survey and information events were used to draw up 14 Village Plans including a vision for each area. The Council, community and partner organisations have worked together to deliver on projects and initiatives in the plans and subsequently the plans have been updated on an ongoing basis. • Residents asked to be more involved in planning issues in order to have a say in preserving the character of their village and at the end of 2013 Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) were added to the Village Planning Programme.

  5. Village Planning • Phase 2 • A detailed study of each Village was carried out in consultation with residents, including drop-in events, walkabouts with residents and targeted engagement. The SPD for Whitton and Heathfield was adopted in July 2014. • The SPD is included in our Planning Policies and provides guidance to planners, developers and Councillors sitting on the Planning Committee. • Whereas the Village Plans are "live" documents that can be updated as priorities are addressed and new ones identified, the SPD's are official planning documents.

  6. Your Vision for Whitton and Heathfield To retain and reinforce the established character of the area.

  7. VillagePriorities Through the Village Planning process you have told us that your priorities for Whitton and Heathfield were: • An uplift project for Whitton High Street • Upgrades to Whitton Station

  8. Turing House School • Free school for secondary-age pupils 11-18 years. • Opened in September 2015 on the temporary Livingston House site, Queens Road Teddington. A second temporary site at Clarendon School will be utilised from 2018. • It currently has three year groups, Year 7, Year 8, and Year 9 in the 2017/2018 school year. • The school is projected to have around 1,000 pupils spread across Year 7 to Year 13 by 2022. • Where will Turing House’s permanent site be? • It isproposedthat, subject to a planning application being submitted, Turing House will be permanently located in new buildings at a site in Hospital Bridge Road (HBR), Whitton by 2020. Although it is within Richmond Borough, the site is owned by Hounslow Council, who have agreed to long-lease it to the Russell Education Trust.

  9. The current phase of Village Planning • People and Community • Phase 3 involves: • Strengthening the capacity for residents and groups to meet community priorities themselves; • Identifying key community ‘assets’, linking residents to greater opportunities to be active, improve skills and wellbeing; • Meeting local needs in all its forms, including environmental, social, and economic; • Improving community awareness of what’s happening in their village through a revamped website experience, tailored to their local ‘village’.

  10. Village Planning Fund • Launched in June 2017, the fund is also known as the Neighbourhood Community Infrastructure Levy (NCIL) and is accumulated via a percentage of a development levy we place on most new developments to provide the infrastructure needed to support growth in the borough. • In the Twickenham, St Margarets and East Twickenham, Whitton and Heathfield, Strawberry Hill cluster there was £77,801 available to bid for. We received five applications in the cluster and following the public consultation a decision will be announced in December 2017. • The next round will open in February 2018.
