Welcome to Binfield Village Protection Society.

'

Binfield has always been a picturesque and pleasant place to live. Part of the attraction of Binfield is the close proximity to the peace and quiet of open countryside with views across unspoiled land. We hope this website will help you to understand more about Planning and Development in Binfield. In our pages you will find a helpful guide to making objections, plus information on a wide range of related subjects from Binfield History, thru' to maps, satellite photographs, and details of key local contacts. 

TRANSPORT PLAN - PUBLIC CONSULTATION

Bracknell Forest Council has begun the preparation of the new Local Transport Plan (LTP3) that will come into effect in March 2011, upon the expiry of the current Plan. LTPs set out the Councils approach to tackling current problems and future challenges on the boroughs transport network. It will cover all modes of transport - including walking, cycling, public transport, car based travel and freight, and will contain policies that meet the Borough’s social, economic and environmental objectives, alongside an implementation plan that will outline how these strategies will be delivered.

This public consultation seeks your views on producing a definitive set of objectives which will underpin LTP3 during its production and will run until Monday 23rd November 2009.

To access the consultation, please visit the Bracknell Forest Council website at www.bracknell-forest.gov.uk/ltp3. Here you will find the links to the ‘Establishing Draft Objectives’ background document, which is useful in setting the scene and the ‘Questionnaire’ that allows you to give the Council your feedback.

SIGN-UP FOR PLANNING ALERTS

In this age of technology, it is no longer effective for BVPS to communicate with residents through public notices, letters and meetings.  The planning process is moving quickly and it is usually only immediate neighbours who will be informed of a proposed new development and invited to comment.  Often, the first the rest of us know about the new build is when the building actually starts. 

Therefore, we want to introduce a fast way of alerting all Binfield residents to development threats to Binfield, to provide valid reasons for objecting (to part or all of the plans), and simple instructions on where you may quickly email short "letters" of objection. We believe that this is THE most effective way to alert Binfield residents of planning applications and to give you the opportunity to help object to inappropriate planning applications early in the process.  

To make this work we need to log as many residents email addresses as possible. Please help us protect your village by emailing your name and address to alerts@bvps.org.uk. You can opt out at any time and your personal details will be kept strictly confidential and used only for this purpose. We really can't win without your support.
