TisPlan update – community consultation event on Saturday 6th May 2017
​Members of the TisPlan neighbourhood planning team were joined by 80 residents of Tisbury and West Tisbury to spend a couple of hours in Nadder Centre on Saturday 6th May considering draft policies for the working draft of the Tisbury and West Tisbury Neighbourhood Plan.  Delegates were asked to consider the draft policies in 5 different aspects of life in the neighbourhood area:

  • Housing and Building
  • Travel and Transport
  • Employment
  • The Countryside and Environment
  • Leisure, Community and Well-Being
 
The Steering Group considered the comments raised, and have produced The Draft Neighbourhood Plan (technically known as the ‘Pre-submission version’) which was available for formal consultation before the end of the year (2018).  Community-wide comments received were used to amend the plan before it was submitted to Wiltshire Council in January 2019.

5th July 2014
The Drop-in Consultations were held on the afternoon of Saturday 05 July 2014 in the Victoria Hall, and at Tisbury Carnival on Saturday 26 September 2014.  They were both very successful. 

Most of those attending the first consultation were over forty years of age.  We chose the venue for the second consultation so we could concentrate on the younger members of the community, including children and their parents.

For the first consultation, there was a notice board each on the following topics:

industry and employment, housing, education and training, retail, environment and transport, leisure and tourism.

For each board topic, there were the same four questions:

  • what do you like?
  • what don't you like?
  • what do you need?
  • what don't you need?

People were asked to make comments using sticky notes applied to the boards.

For the second consultation, people were asked four more general questions:

  • what do you like about Tisbury?
  • what don't you like about Tisbury?
  • what do you need?
  • what don't you need?

The results have been analysed and further investigations into specific needs of particular groups of people are being undertaken; for example, out-of-hours transport for secondary schoolchildren wishing to attend social events and school clubs.

All this information was used to develop the questionnaire which was delivered to every household in the parishes so everyone could give their views on the future of the local area.
