We are instructructed by Mr Brian Lewis of Hill Farm, Banbury Road, Bishop's Tachbrook to comment on the application made by BTPC for the designation of a Neighbourhood Area.

We note that the application propses to set the area boundary as the ward boundary of the parish of Bishop's Tachbrook. We support this approach.

The application states that the forthcoming Neighbourhood Plan will aim to balance the needs of both the populated and rural parts of the area. We concur with this but note that the Plan should also accord with the emerging Core Strategy and allocate sufficient land for housing and other forms of development to meet the overall development requirements of the District.

Mr Lewis would welcome the opportunity to participate in the process.
