Wiltshire 2026 - Planning for Wiltshire's Future
The event is not currently available for consultation.
Wiltshire Council came into being on 1 April 2009. It unites the former districts of North and West Wiltshire, Kennet and Salisbury with the former Wiltshire County Council. The merger of five planning authorities provides the opportunity to bring together their development plans and to prepare a single local development framework (LDF) for the whole of Wiltshire.
The most important component of the LDF is the core strategy. The council has prepared Wiltshire 2026 - Planning for Wiltshire's Future for public consultation as an important step towards the development of the Wiltshire Core Strategy. It is intended to take forward the work already undertaken by the former Wiltshire district councils. The present document is not a draft core strategy. It is, however, an important stage in the preparation of the draft core strategy, which will follow in 2010.
Wiltshire 2026 - Planning for Wiltshire's Future contains a number of elements which will steer the shape of the core strategy, and which will allocate development to individual towns and community areas across Wiltshire. It is therefore most important for the council to engage with its communities and stakeholders to ensure that its forthcoming policies and proposals are sound.
Wiltshire Council would therefore welcome your response to this document. Please submit your views to the council by 5:00pm on 31 December 2009.
