Tysoe Neighbourhood Plan Pre-Submission Draft
The public consultation on the first Pre-submission Draft has now closed.
Both the Parish Council and the Neighbourhood Planning Group would like to thank you for your overwhelming response.
We will not be accepting any further comments at this time and are presently working through all the comments that we have received with a view to making amendments to the plan.
There will be a further Pre-submission consultation in the Autumn where you will have the opportunity to see and comment on the amended plan prior to its submission to Stratford-on-Avon Council.

Church2Church Walks in Warwickshire
Tysoe is the subject of a feature in the new ‘More Walks Information’ section of the Church2Church Walks in Warwickshire website, which in 2015 was developed in conjunction with the Diocese of Coventry.
Tysoe is to be found on Page 8 of the new feature and it is hoped that it will help walkers to fully appreciate your unique village.
The combination of walking and visiting churches is proving to be very popular.

Housing Needs Survey – Summary of Results
Our thanks go to all of you who filled in Housing Needs Survey forms. The 174 forms returned represent an excellent response for such an exercise. The survey sought to discover what housing is required for people with a local connection and to find what support there is for an affordable housing scheme. It also gave the opportunity to express other opinions which could influence development within the village.
AGING POPULATION
The survey confirmed that Tysoe has an ageing population which could lead to problems of sustainability. There is a preponderance of larger houses, above average for Stratford District Council, this combined with an ageing population means that most dwellings are under-occupied.
IDENTIFIED NEED
- The survey identified a need for eleven new homes in Tysoe Parish for households with a local connection
- These should comprise a mixture of Housing Association Rental, Housing Association Shared Ownership and Owner occupier dwellings. Seven of these would be small flats, two 2-bedroom houses and two small bungalows.
- Responses indicated that there is a clear appetite among residents to meet the need for affordable housing within the parish.
- There is a need for more smaller houses to allow residents of larger houses to downsize as their requirements change.
YOU VALUE HIGHLY
- The rural and historic environment of the village
- The shops and services
YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT
- Transport links
- Problems with traffic and parking
- Proportionate development (not housing estates)

NEXT STEPS
We will use information from the survey to inform the next draft of our Neighbourhood Plan. Watch for details on the Parish Website and village notice board.
The Neighbourhood Planning Group is setting up a sub-committeee to consider options for affordable housing development in Tysoe. Let us know if you interested in getting involved, please contact: David Roache on: 680309 or email: djroache@buzzinternet.co.uk

Publicity About Public Consultation – Parish Council Disclaimer
It has come to the notice of the Parish Council that flyers about the upcoming Public Consultation 25th – 26th November 2016, calling on residents to vote against certain sites have been distributed to some households in Tysoe.
The Consultation has been organised by the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Committee on behalf of the Parish Council. Its purpose is to allow residents of Tysoe to decide which potential sites for development they prefer and which they like the least.
Neither the Steering Committee nor the Parish Council are offering any opinion on the suitability or unsuitability of any of the potential sites and any publicity about the consultation expressing such opinions does not come from them.
