NOur vision is that in 2036 Shenley will have
maintained and improved its distinctive attractive
character and heritage as a beautiful rural
village. A setting that has evolved over ten
centuries, surrounded by highly valued open
countryside most of which is still actively farmed
with an active and diverse community served
well by its amenities and facilities including an
improved walking, cycling and public transport
provision.

Without a neighbourhood plan an area is just
