UPDATE: APRIL 2020
During 2019, the Steering Group of volunteer residents assembled an extensive evidence base to support land use policies reflecting the vision and objectives that had been developed for the Tetsworth NDP. They prepared a very detailed Character Assessment of defined areas of the village and its surrounding countryside, and drafted Housing Analysis and Sustainability Overview documents for Tetsworth. They also engaged a specialist landscape consultant to conduct a study and report on Key Views towards, within and from the village which merited protection from inappropriate development.
The draft NDP document included policies supporting infill housing development and required design features, and measures to protect of the village’s heritage, green spaces and setting. This was reviewed by a specialist planning consultant ahead of a 6 week period of consultation which started on 21 October. In accordance with Regulation 14 of the NDP regulations, Tetsworth Parish Council (TPC), as the NDP qualifying body, invited statutory consultees, local residents and others with an interest in the area to comment.
Agreed feedback from this consultation was incorporated into a revised version of the NDP alongside preparation of the required Consultation and Basic Conditions Statements. By mid-January, the whole of the Tetsworth NDP document package was ready for submission to SODC by TPC. Submission under Regulation 15 of the NDP regulations occurred on 23 January.
SODC launched the second 6 week publicity period consultation in accordance with Regulation 16 of the NDP regulations on 25 February. Just a week or so before the planned closure of this consultation period, SODC advised that it had suspended all consultations in response to the coronavirus pandemic crisis. The current position is that the Regulation 16 publicity period has been extended until 28 July – and possibly later if necessary.
Meanwhile, TPC and the Steering Group have agreed to SODC appointing Andrew Ashcroft as the external examiner of the Tetsworth NDP. It is possible that he may be able to start his review of the submitted NDP document package ahead of the eventual completion of the Regulation 16 publicity period.
