Watleys End Village Design Statement

Watley's End is a small village within the Civil Parish of Winterbourne, South Gloucestershire. Although modern development has linked the old village to wider Winterbourne, the historic and separate character of Watley's End still exists to be preserved and enhanced.

The Watley’s End Village Design Statement has been prepared by the Watley’s End Residents Society in consultation with local residents. It seeks to ensure that the historic character and setting of the old village is recognised and respected when future change and development is considered.

It was endorsed by South Gloucestershire Council on 27th March 2013 as reflecting the local community’s aspirations for the treatment of design issues in the village.

As non-statutory planning guidance it will be taken into account in the preparation of the Council’s Local Plan documents and as a material consideration in the determination of planning applications. The Council’s adopted development plan and emerging planning policy will however retain full primacy in planning decisions.
