Re: Confirmation of objection to re-siting of village boundary line.

Following the meeting of the Parish Council at Shrewley Village Hall last night, we wish to reiterate our objection to the proposal to re-site the village boundary to within our long established back garden and to clarify our request to site the boundary line at the END of our garden by the geographical, physical and robust feature which is the Grand Union Canal.
We understand from the meeting that the parish council will recommend removing the village boundary entirely from our end of Station Road thereby consigning this end - north of the railway line - to being Green Belt. This contravenes our request and wish to retain our property's heritage as a home and garden free of restrictions and constraints which placing our properties inside the Green Belt would cause. The response from the council seemed to us both a green wash and a whitewash. Furthermore, it would remove the whole road of properties from number 1 Station Road to number 30 from being within the village boundary officially. Again we point out that no other properties in the district with substantial back gardens are being treated in this way and we uphold our rights to be treated as favourably as everyone else in the District.
I attach a map of the local plan (separately) with our preferred boundary line shown (dotted), and ask that you add this further response to our mailed response of last week. Thank you for giving this your further consideration.
