Janet Amos, March 2016 1 Tisplan Questionnaire Analysis of Results The TisPlan questionnaire was distributed personally by a team of community volunteers to every household in the Neighbourhood Area of Tisbury and West Tisbury during October 2015. This was a successful consultation generating a good evidence base for future Neighbourhood Planning decision-making. Although the printing costs were relatively expensive compared with an online survey and the door-to-door collection was time consuming, nevertheless it was clearly the right decision in terms of the methodology adopted. Questionnaire feedback re the age of respondents and the stated requirement for IT and computing courses, indicates that an on-line questionnaire most probably would not have realised such a positive and significant response rate. There were 671 responses which represented a 47% response rate and statistically is a sufficient response for valid findings. Over one third of the respondents provided comments and feedback. Again this is statistically significant and indicative of an extremely engaged, informed and interested community with strong opinions. There are clear mandates for action and decision-making. There is an expectation that the information will be shared with those who can influence outcomes. It is important that the NP Steering Group and the Parish councils show how these responses have influenced thinking and future decision making: eg • The importance of the availability of parking • The lack of interest in the provision of cycle racks and facilities for the use of bicycles • The importance of housing design which should not be left to developers to dictate to the community Some elements of the questionnaire generated a huge weight of opinion from the community which will provide good evidence for the development of plan policies and objectives.

Tisplan Questionnaire Analysis of Results The TisPlan questionnaire was distributed personally by a team of community volunteers to every household in the Neighbourhood Area of Tisbury and West Tisbury during October 2015.
This was a successful consultation generating a good evidence base for future Neighbourhood Planning decision-making. Although the printing costs were relatively expensive compared with an online survey and the door-to-door collection was time consuming, nevertheless it was clearly the right decision in terms of the methodology adopted. Questionnaire feedback re the age of respondents and the stated requirement for IT and computing courses, indicates that an on-line questionnaire most probably would not have realised such a positive and significant response rate.
There were 671 responses which represented a 47% response rate and statistically is a sufficient response for valid findings.
Over one third of the respondents provided comments and feedback. Again this is statistically significant and indicative of an extremely engaged, informed and interested community with strong opinions. There are clear mandates for action and decision-making. There is an expectation that the information will be shared with those who can influence outcomes. It is important that the NP Steering Group and the Parish councils show how these responses have influenced thinking and future decision making: eg
• The importance of the availability of parking • The lack of interest in the provision of cycle racks and facilities for the use of bicycles • The importance of housing design which should not be left to developers to dictate to the
community
Some elements of the questionnaire generated a huge weight of opinion from the community which will provide good evidence for the development of plan policies and objectives.
NB All reference to ‘Tisbury’ in the following text is shorthand for ‘Tisbury and West Tisbury Neighbourhood Plan Area.’

Q7 and Q8 Significant ‘Green’ Spaces in the neighbourhood area.
Question 9 Greenfield sites that have already been proposed as potential development sites – are you in favour of the development of these sites for housing?
Question10 Is there anywhere else in the neighbourhood area where development would be appropriate?
This was a free-form question inviting respondents to put forward any other sites which had not yet been proposed. The results have not yet been fully analysed, but several small sites have been proposed for consideration.
