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 is formally made by Wiltshire Council, it will become, 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.
