Horley/Hanwell/Wroxton boundary review - HOHW

We have been asked by Horley Parish Council to consider changing where the parish boundary sits between Horley and Hanwell, and between Horley and Wroxton.

Horley Parish Council have requested that two areas of land currently in neighbouring parishes, shown on the map marked by the letters N and O, become part of Horley parish. 

Area N – Old Forge, adjacent caravan site and scout camp

Horley Parish Council gave the following reason when requesting a change to the boundary between Horley and Wroxton, area N on the map:

“Currently the Old Forge and adjacent caravan site and scout camp have significant impact on Horley village. However as these come under the jurisdiction of Wroxton Parish, Horley Parish Council has little say in any new development or activities that occur and is reliant on Wroxton Parish Council for information and action”.

Area O – Land between Sorbrook and Warwick Road

Horley Parish Council have the following reason when requesting a change to the boundary between Horley and Hanwell, area O on the map:

“Because of the contours of the land the area between Sorbrook and Warwick Road has significant visual impact to the residents of Horley. Once again Horley Parish Council is dependent on the goodwill of another Parish Council, in this case Hanwell. There have been cases where temporary installations and developments have affected the visual outlook from Horley itself”.

Where would the boundary be moved to?

Horley Parish Council have requested that the boundaries follow the treeline to the left of the scout camp, before following the road across to Hanwell and then the B4100/Warwick Road, north to the county boundary with Warwickshire.
