The human version (we wrote this, not the council)
This policy allocates sites for mixed-use, leisure, community and town centre purposes. The extract covers Tachbrook Country Park at Bishop's Tachbrook, a multifunctional green space on land next to the Tach Brook. The park will provide a green buffer between the village and new housing off Harbury Lane, promote ecology and habitat diversity, potentially help with flood alleviation, and offer a well-connected park for walking, cycling and informal leisure as part of a wider green corridor.

Land adjoining the Tach Brook
at Bishop’s Tachbrook
The park will be a multifunctional green infrastructure
asset, designed to:
• Provide a strong ‘green buffer’ between the
northern parts of Bishop’s Tachbrook and the
southern edge of the new development sites off
Harbury Lane. This will include minimising the
visual impact of development and softening the
edge of new housing schemes.
• Promote ecology and habitat diversification in a
landscape that has historically been associated
with modern farming and other uses.
• Potentially play a role in flood alleviation,
particularly considering the close proximity of a
significant number of new houses.
• Provide a functional park facility that is well-
connected to new developments, in terms of
access and walking and cycling infrastructure.
While the park may have a defined character, it is
also part of a wider brook valley / green corridor.
• Provide park facilities of an appropriate scale to
support informal leisure activities for people living
