Clyro has a special character. The surrounding hills, and approaches are a very important part of that character. The church and churchyard, Kilvert, the brook and the facilities within the village are also very important to the community.

There was also a large amount of support to extend the conservation area to include the surrounding fields.

The most popular descriptions of Clyro were: “Rural”, “Historic”, and “Charming.”

Green open spaces, gardens, and the retention or replanting of native trees and hedgerows, were very high on everyone's list.

On the housing front, well spaced out detached houses were the preferred option, although terraced and semi-detached were also very popular.

It was also thought that all types of housing extensions and new buildings should complement, and be in scale with, their neighbours.

The need for a village car park was also a priority, and there was also a need to review and reduce existing road signage, as well as improving traffic calming measures.

Positive details were: stone boundary walls, small pane windows, two storey houses, and a variety of chimney and ridge tile styles.

Preferred building materials were: local stone, stone or slate tiled roofs, stained wooden door and window frames. Brick, rendered and colour washed walls, and painted wooden door and window frames, were also considered to be reasonable options.

The type and amount of street lighting was an important consideration in any new development. It was thought that service wires for electricity and telephone should ideally be routed underground.

A large number of villagers were not happy with building developments in the village over the last fifteen years or so.
