jardin public avec sa piscine plein air – mais chauffée
car il le faut, bien sûr! – et tous les endroits historiques
associés à son glorieux

lié, entre autres, à l’escadron 617 – “Les
Dambusters”, si célèbre grâce à ses

Mondiale.

| Village Design Statement |
| |
The draft Woodhall Spa Village Design Statement now available online and the Parish Council invites all residents to pass critical comment on its content. Please go to the VDS page
What is a Village Design Statement?
A Village Design Statement (VDS) is a description of a village (which is not necessarily the same area as a parish) at a point in time, highlighting the qualities that its residents value, and setting out the residents’ wishes for the design of development in the village.
It is intended to help to manage the process of change, whether that change stems from large developments or small-scale additions and alterations. It is not to be used to determine whether development should take place; that is the purpose of the Local Development Framework (LDF) produced by the District Council. It sets out guidelines as to how planned development should be carried out and is designed to be complementary to the Local Development Framework.
Who is it for?
The Statement is designed to assist everyone concerned with the physical form within which the daily activity of the village takes place. For:
- Residents, it provides guidance for keeping any alterations and extensions in sympathy with the character of the village, the main part of which is designated as a conservation area.
- Developers, their architects, and designers, it explains what the village community would like to see in new and altered buildings, and in changes to the village’s landscape setting.
- Local authorities, it sets out material considerations to be taken into account in arriving at judgements on planning.
Note: The document will soon be available to read in the Village Library |

| Japanese Knotweed found in Woodhall Spa |
| |
Japanese Knotweed can destroy the foundations of buildings and drains, so anyone who spots clumps should report it to the Parish Clerk immediately, so that it can be treated by experts. It is important not to cut or disturb the plant as this only spreads it and makes the situation worse. |
