Tysoe’s Neighbourhood Plan – UPDATE
Following the hiatus caused by the Government publishing new national planning guidelines (the new NPPF) on 17th August and the necessary cessation of our consultation on the proposed amendments to our Neighbourhood Plan (NDP), we are now engaged in preparing a new set of proposed changes which will comply with the new NPPF.
These changes will be significantly more material as the new NPPF is a radically different document from its predecessor. Many of the policies in our NDP are now contained within the NPPF and the guidelines preclude us from repeating them in our NDP.
These policies will be deleted or largely re-written. Policies that are specific to our own situation will remain in the NDP.
Also, the new guidelines do not expect parishes to include background material about the history and setting of their village in the NDP, so this material will be lifted from the document and will be made available on our website.
You will anticipate, therefore, that the amended NDP will be a much different document from the current form.
To give all residents an opportunity to discuss this and to understand the implications of such significant change, we are holding a Village Meeting on Thursday 15th October at 7.00pm in the Village Hall.
All are welcome to come and hear about how the new NPPF will change this important village document and share their views on what is important in planning for the future of Tysoe.
As soon as a new draft is available we will publish it for consultation. However, this will take some time as the new NPPF is quite different from the previous version. However, the work to carry out a new Housing Needs Survey is unaffected and we encourage all households to complete the survey and submit it as this will inform the work we are doing to update our NDP.
Go to the Housing Needs Survey page to find the survey and submit it.
Come and have your say – 7.00pm 15th October Village Hall
