TisPlan 1 Information - What is a neighbourhood plan?Local communities can now set out their own views on local planning issues and have them formally accepted as part of the planning permissions process. This new opportunity was granted in the Localism Act 2011 as part of a move to disperse power more widely in Britain.
Creating our Neighbourhood Plan is our chance to set out positive views of how we want to see Tisbury and West Tisbury develop over the next twenty years in ways that will meet our foreseeable needs. Development of housing and businesses - and facilities such as roads and schools - are all related to each other. So in order to have a proper understanding of what we think Tisbury and West Tisbury should become, we have thoroughly researched as much local information and opinion as possible. This research has been coordinated by the steering committee set up by our parish councils, and the results have formed the basis of the Plan. Once our Neighbourhood Plan, TisPlan 1, was formally made by Wiltshire Council, it became, along with the Wiltshire Core Strategy, a part of the Wiltshire Local Development Framework, a collection of documents setting out planning policy for Wiltshire. The Core Strategy, which was adopted in its present form in January 2015, is the most important of the LDF documents. TisPlan 2 is an evolution of the 2019 TisPlan, which refines and restates the policies that are at TisPlan’s core, bringing them up-to date where necessary. Based on feedback from the 2022 consultation, policies on flood risk and affordable homes have been strengthened. Policies on green & blue infrastructure and dark skies have been introduced, along with those on homes for older people. Lists of local green spaces and heritage assets have been refreshed and the Plan’s two existing housing site allocation policies have been clarified. A new Character Area Statement is included, setting out what is unique about our village. You may notice that the language of TisPlan 2 is more ‘formal’ than in the current TisPlan. This is to better inform planning officers and inspectors; and to comply with government requirements that neighbourhood plan policies are fully supported by evidence. But at its heart TisPlan 2 is about what we as a community want for our neighbourhood and the issues it deals with are practical ones that affect us all. The Localism Act
