Planning
The 2010 Tysoe Parish Plan, which was produced through the democratic process, together with the subsequent housing needs survey, identified the desire for a low number of small developments.
Despite this Tysoe Parish Council recognises that, due to central government and Stratford District Council policies, Tysoe may have to accept a greater number of dwellings for the 20-year period up to 2028.
In accordance with the views of most residents we oppose opportunistic large-scale developments that we consider unsuitable for Tysoe.
Tysoe Parish Council believes modest, small-scale applications that are sympathetic to our rural location are more suitable for Tysoe.
Other factors to be considered are the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty running along the east and south sides of the village, Tysoe’s susceptibility to flooding, the limited capacity of the sewage works and traffic problems.
