Save Dunchurch Action Group

Rugby Borough Council have included in their Draft Local Plan proposals to build 6,500 houses on farmland between Bilton, Cawston and Dunchurch. This is up to and including land currently within Dunchurch so the village as we know it will cease to exist.

On top of this, there is a proposal called "Lodge Farm Village" in the open Warwickshire countryside in the Parish of Grandborough. This is for a further 1,500 houses which will have a requirement to use the crossroads in the village on a regular village.

To say that the impact on Dunchurch will be significant is, unfortunately, an understatement. We are currently a village of a little over 1,000 homes so we will be engulfed by this development. Make no mistake, this is Rugby Borough Council's preferred plan - unless we can convince them otherwise - this is coming.

We are a currently a small group of local Dunchurch residents. We are looking to raise funds to:

1) Make sure everyone in the village knows about what is coming. Both online and offline marketing.
2) Help people object - the current process is complicated. We intend to provide sample response forms and guidance to residents
3) Pay for professionals (lawyers, planners) to file technical objections to this proposal.

Please support us in helping to Save Dunchurch. This is a historic village that we should be preserving for future generations.

When you donate to Save Dunchurch every £ goes directly to fighting this campaign. It pays for a set of fliers or for detailed planning advice. The team behind this are concerned residents, giving up their time for free to help raise awareness and to protect the village. Please, please help - whether with a financial donation or with your time.
