In recent years Prestbury, Southam and the land that lies in-between has come under increasing pressure by developers. Over the past few decades the burden has fallen on a few local stalwarts to fight on our behalf attempting to keep development appropriate and ensure that our precious heritage is not lost. Our aim is to become a focal point and voice for you as a community, liaising with existing
groups and increasing public awareness. There are many threats to our green spaces. Under long-term plans a 23-acre plot off Mill Lane has been earmarked for 180 homes and a further 19.6 acres to the east of the village, which falls within an area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB), has also been offered for development by the owner. We believe that these and other plans are unacceptable and call on you all as fellow parishioners to join us, take up the challenge and fight for what is yours. We have a shared environment and together as a community we can protect what we have now for future generations.
