Consultation on the Pre-submission draft Wiltshire Housing Site Allocations Plan
Wiltshire Council has published the draft Wiltshire Housing Site Allocations Plan, along with accompanying evidence reports, for formal consultation.
The draft Wiltshire Housing Site Allocations Plan, a formal Development Plan Document, has been prepared in accordance with the Wiltshire Core Strategy. It sets out proposals that:
- revise, where necessary, existing settlement boundaries in relation to the Principal Settlements of Salisbury and Trowbridge, Wiltshire’s Market Towns, Local Service Centres and Large Villages; and
- allocates new sites for housing to ensure the delivery of homes across the plan period in order to maintain a five year land supply in each of Wiltshire’s three Housing Market Areas over the period to 2026.
Comments are invited on the draft Plan and supporting evidence bases documents during the 10 week consultation period, which runs from 9:00am on Friday 14 July 2017 until 5:00pm on Friday 22 September 2017.
There will be 4 public exhibitions held as part of the consultation. The events will be open between 12 noon and 7pm as follows:
Neeld Community & Art Centre, High Street, Chippenham Mon 17 July 2017
Guildhall, Market Place, Salisbury Weds 19 July 2017
Town Hall, St Johns Street, Devizes Mon 24 July 2017
Atrium, County Hall, Trowbridge Weds 26 July 2017
Officers from the Council will be available during the day to answer questions about the draft Plan and we would encourage people to attend and find out more about what the draft Plan proposes in their area.
