Following receipt of the report of the Independent Examiner on the Reg.17A version Tysoe Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) from 2020, the Local Planning Authority has now decided what action to take in response to each of the recommended modifications set out in the report.

In respect of Natural Environment Policy 6, the decision of the Local Planning Authority differs from that recommended by the Examiner. Therefore, in accordance with Regulation 17A of The Neighbourhood Planning (General) and Development Management Procedure (Amendment) Regulations 2016, the Local Planning Authority must again publicise the proposed amendments to the recommended modifications for a minimum 6 week period, inviting the submission of representations from organisations and individuals on the changes.

Representations on the proposed changes may be made to the Council by no later than 5pm on Friday 29th October 2021. The proposed changes are summarised in the documents below:

• Examiner’s Report on 2020 Reg.17A version Tysoe NDP
• SDC Decision Statement on the Examiner’s Report
• Proposed changes to Examiner’s modifications
• Parish Council justification for proposed modification
• 2020 Reg.17A version Tysoe NDP
• 2021 Reg.17A version Tysoe NDP

You are encouraged to submit your representations electronically by e-mailing planning.policy@stratford-dc.gov.uk .

If you want to post your response, please send it to FREEPOST RTJX-GHEE-ZUCS, Stratford-on-Avon District Council, Consultation Unit, Elizabeth House, Church Street, Stratford-upon-Avon, CV37 6HX.

From 6 September to 24 October 2021 this consultation will be conducted involving a questionnaire open to all, a telephone survey of a representative sample of 600 residents as well as a series of focus groups with residents, our businesses, parish and town councils, voluntary and community groups. Direct feedback from stakeholder organisations will also be sought. Responses will be used to inform Councillors when in December 2021 they decide whether to make a submission to the Government for permission to merge and create a new District Council serving South Warwickshire.

See the website for more information and for access to the questionnaire.

Due to the rising costs of operating and maintaining car parks and keeping streets clean, Stratford District Council is carrying out a short public consultation exercise with concessionary permit holders.

The Council is looking at the concessionary (over 65s) parking permit, which is currently available at £10 per year.

Some of the permits are currently misused, with the friends and family of permit holders using the registered vehicle on a regular basis. Also, a number of permit holders are still working full-time in Stratford Town Centre (but are only paying £10 per annum for the privilege to park for up to 40 hours a week). The proposal to abolish the concessionary permit is one of equity and administration costs, rather than income generation.

The Council has carried out a benchmarking exercise on concessionary (over 65s) parking permits. Out of fifteen comparable local authorities in the Midlands and South West region, only two offer such a permit – Wychavon District Council at £100 per year and Wyre Forest District Council at £175 per year. Interestingly, around 54% of permit holders in Stratford-on-Avon District have a CV37 (Stratford-upon-Avon) postcode, which goes against the Council’s aim of Stratford-on-Avon District being carbon neutral by 2030.

We are also looking at how often you use the permit and the reasons for doing so.

To respond to this Consultation you can feedback in the following ways:

• Complete the survey online using this link https://online1.snapsurveys.com/permit

• Request a paper copy of the survey by telephoning Stratford-on-Avon District Council on 01789 267575

• Writing to us at (no stamp required) Freepost RTJX-GHEE-ZUCS, Stratford-on-Avon District Council, Consultation Unit, Elizabeth House, Church Street, STRATFORD-UPON-AVON, CV37 6HX

Closing date is Friday 26^th March 2021.
