Dear Hockley Heath

We invited you to participate in a major new research study exploring people’s views and experiences of crime, anti-social behaviour, and policing in the UK on 26th August, but we noticed you haven’t started the survey yet.   

On average, it takes 10 minutes to complete, and it is entirely multiple-choice. No questions are mandatory, so you can skip any you would rather not answer. If you get distracted, you can save your progress as you go and come back whenever you wish.   

Please click here to complete the survey

The research aims to improve: 

·  understanding of what shapes public confidence in policing,  

·  how confidence changes over time, and  

·  the impact of neighbourhood policing on local communities.   

Why take part? 

Your views matter. 

We want to hear from people with a range of experiences and opinions, whether positive, negative, or somewhere in between. 

You do not need to have had contact with the police to take part. Every response helps build a better understanding of what matters most to local communities.  

FAQs 

You may want to learn more before proceeding.  You can access the survey’s FAQs on our website here.  Please note that it will take you away from this page.   

Local businesses in the village are encouraged to complete the Neighbourhood Plan survey (paper copies have recently been distributed to businesses in Hockley Heath and a copy is included below) to share your priorities and aspirations for the future of the village. Your feedback will directly inform the Parish Council’s work on the Neighbourhood Plan and help shape future policies.

Deadline for completion of the business survey is Friday 4th September 2026.

The online survey can be completed here: https://online1.snapsurveys.com/HockleyHeathBusiness26

Volunteers will be able to look at small electrical items for repair.

Warwick District Council have received updated information in relation to this application.

W/25/1709 | Outline planning application for the development of up to 330 residential dwellings, including public open space, landscaping, sustainable drainage features and associated infrastructure. All matters reserved except for access from Aylesbury Road. | Land South of Aylesbury Road, Lapworth

Regulation 19 is a formal, legal stage set out in the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012. For the SWLP this is the final draft version of the plan before submission to the Government for examination.

All previously‑considered strategic development options around Hockley Heath have been removed from the SWLP Regulation 19 consultation, which runs from 21 July to 8 September 2026. However Lapworth, Hatton and Kingswood continue to be identified as strategic growth locations. Even though all strategic sites around Hockley Heath have been removed, the Planning Inspector has the power to recommend changes. Until the plan has completed that process and is formally adopted, there remains a degree of uncertainty.

Residents are encouraged to review the consultation documents and submit comments if they wish. Representations (comments) must be made directly to Stratford‑on‑Avon District Council or Warwick District Council by 23:59 on 8 September 2026. The link to the Consultation on the SWLP website is included here: South Warwickshire Local Plan.

The Parish Council has been provided with a hard copy of the consultation documentation which will be available for residents to view most Tuesday mornings until 8 September 2026 in the Pavilion hall.

The Parish Council has been approached by a land promoter regarding early‑stage proposals for a potential development of around 60 houses to the east of Park View in Hockley Heath.

The Parish Council invited the promoter to attend its next Parish Council meeting to outline their intentions in a public forum, but have declined at this time.

The Parish Council will consider any formal planning application through the usual consultation process.
