Bishop's Tachbrook Neighbourhood Plan Vision for 2029
By 2029 the parish of Bishop's Tachbrook will have developed into a cohesive community that en- compasses both new and old areas of the parish; environmental protection and sustainability will be at its core. Our new Country Park, valued green spaces and woodland will provide the green lungs of the parish. All areas will be connected by a network of footpaths and cycleways. Local services and amenities will be developed and enhanced. The development of small businesses will be sup- ported and encouraged.
We want the parish of Bishop's Tachbrook to be a fantastic place to live and work in.
5.1 The Vision for the BTNDP has been prepared by the Steering Group and approved by the Parish Council.
5.2 In order to address the key issues identified in section 4 of this plan and to achieve the Vision for the whole neighbourhood area, the objectives listed below have been agreed on. The BTNDP is not a blueprint for the future development of the parish, it will sit alongside the Warwick District Local Plan and help to guide, control and promote future development:
Neighbourhood Plan Objectives
- To protect, enhance and give greater access to the natural environment of the area, including its landscape, geological assets, archaeological sites and wildlife habitats.
- To promote healthy living and encourage sustainable transport (such as walking and cycling) to reduce demand on the local highway network and improve road safety.
- To ensure the parish has the appropriate open space, recreation and community facilities to support present demand and future projected growth.
- To protect and enhance the historic village centre of Bishop's Tachbrook by ensuring that any development within the Conservation Area is sympathetic with current buildings and landscape.
- To ensure that new housing is in a suitable range of sizes, types and tenures, to meet assessed local needs for market and social homes.
- To protect the environment, ensure sustainability and tackle climate change by reducing greenhouse emissions to as close to zero as possible by 2030. A commitment that is incorporated in Warwick District Council's "Declaration of a Climate Emergency Action Plan"
5.3 The "Your Parish - Today and Tomorrow" consultation events demonstrated broad support for all of the 6 BTNDP objectives. The only one to generate a small negative response was objective 5 (see Appendix 1).
