Parish Plan 2009
May 21, 2010
The Parish Plan embodies the wishes, needs, aims and aspirations of our parish expressed by you, the residents, over several years.
The plan is also important because it has been adopted both by your Parish Council and Stratford District Council as a significant information source; this means that consideration must be given to the guidance and actions proposed in it particularly when considering planning or grant applications.
Of course this 2009 Parish Plan is by no means a “be-all and end-all” document. Already some actions are well under way or complete and it will not be long before new priorities must be included.
Consequently it is anticipated that the Long Itchington Parish Plan will need to be updated at least one during the four year life of a Parish Council, by means of new information surveys, special consultations, and public gatherings including the Annual Parish Meeting. The APM is your ideal opportunity to come along and express any interest or concerns you may have about your village or in relation to the various actions and projects mentioned in the Plan.
The Parish Plan 2009 has been split into three parts to reduce download time.

Cemex “Climafuel” Planning Application – Rejected
November 19, 2009
We would like to thank all those who helped to defeat the application for Long Itchington – those who attended public meetings, distributed leaflets, wrote to comment on the applications (over 180!), attended the hearing today – and those other councillors and villagers who spoke in defence of the village.
Whilst sympathetic to those who objected to the Rugby application, I truly believe that common sense prevailed. If WCC believe that one of the sites must be be developed to help achieve the County’s recycling targets (we were against both sites being approved) then the sheer amount of unnecessary potential traffic between the village and Rugby helped to sway the decision away from Long Itchington.
Thank you all again on behalf of LIPC and the rest of the communities in the area!).

Parish Council Increased Status
March 2, 2008
March 2008 marks a significant step forward for the Long Itchington Parish Council because it has just been awarded Quality Status by a local government accreditation panel.
This means that the hard work, achievements and competence of your parish councillors and clerk, aided by their helpers and committees, have now been recognised as meeting all the standards expected of the best parish and town councils. more on Parish Council Increased Status
