Help shape Wiltshire’s plans to 2036 : Wiltshire Local Plan Review
Wiltshire Council has a statutory duty to plan for the new homes, jobs and infrastructure needed to support Wiltshire’s communities while protecting the local environment and quality of life and to keep it’s plans up to date.
The Council is reviewing the Wiltshire Core Strategy adopted in January 2015 which sets out policies for the future development of the county over the period to 2026 and is used in the determination of planning applications. The review of the Wiltshire Core Strategy (renamed the Wiltshire Local Plan) will extend the period to which the plan relates to 2036.
This is your opportunity to inform the review of the local plan. The consultation started on Tuesday 7 November 2017. All comments should be submitted by 5pm Tuesday 19 December 2017
The Council is seeking the views of the Wiltshire community on the scope of the review, including the preparation of a Joint Spatial Framework to consider how development across the Borough of Swindon and the Wiltshire Council area should take place. Consultation documents have been prepared to stimulate discussion and ask questions about the strategic issues to be considered in the review in relation to Chippenham, Salisbury and Trowbridge (as Wiltshire’s principal settlements) and the market towns named in the core strategy.
The consultation invites comments on a number of documents, including:
- Wiltshire Local Plan Review Consultation Paper
- Joint Spatial Framework Issues Paper
- Joint Spatial Framework Trowbridge Housing Market Area Profile
- Joint Spatial Framework Chippenham Housing Market Area Profile (which covers Devizes)
- Wiltshire Sustainability Appraisal Draft Scoping Report
- Wiltshire Sustainability Appraisal Draft Scoping Report Appendices
You can view these documents within the ‘Swindon and Wiltshire Joint Spatial Framework Issues Paper’ consultation, along with the representation form and leaflet, if you scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the ‘supporting documents’ tab.
