Neighbourhood Plan Review
Site Options Consultation
To meet the target allocation, set by Wiltshire Council, the village needs to find sites to build a minimum of 26 additional new homes by 2038. The NDP Steering Group undertook a call for sites in early 2023, from which 11 sites were identified for possible residential use.
These sites, along with a further 5 identified in the Wiltshire Strategic Housing and Economic Land Assessment (SHELAA) have undergone a comprehensive site assessment, resulting in a shortlist of sites which are potentially suitable for allocation in the Neighbourhood Plan.
We are now seeking your views on these sites.
Doors Open from 10:00am to 4:00pm

What is neighbourhood planning?
Neighbourhood planning gives communities direct power to develop a shared vision for their neighbourhood and shape the development and growth of their local area. They are able to choose where they want new homes, shops and offices to be built, have their say on what those new buildings should look like and what infrastructure should be provided, and grant planning permission for the new buildings they want to see go ahead. Neighbourhood planning provides a powerful set of tools for local people to ensure that they get the right types of development for their community where the ambition of the neighbourhood is aligned with the strategic needs and priorities of the wider local area.
