This will start to replace and update the policies within the former district councils’ local plans. ‘Wiltshire 2026 – Planning for Wiltshire’s Future’ is an important step towards producing the core strategy for Wiltshire. The document pulls together and builds upon the work undertaken by the former districts of Kennet, North and West Wiltshire and sets out new information on where new housing and jobs should be provided. The document does not cover all the content that will be within the final core strategy. The document, background papers prepared to inform the main consultation document, and a draft Sustainability Appraisal can be viewed on the council’s web site at www.wiltshire.gov.uk/wiltshire2026. at local libraries or at the council’s offices in Chippenham (Monkton Park); Alternatively paper copies can be requested by calling 01225 713489. The consultation period ends at 5pm on 31st December 2010. Housing is a major subject in Wiltshire 2026 and the proposal for Sherston is that it is a village suitable for 'modest development'. The Parish Council has already begun preparing its response and welcomes your views. Please note however that it is also very important that your view is put into the consultation process direct via the response form on www.wiltshire.gov.uk/wiltshire2026. or in paper form. The Parish Council will finalise its response at its next meeting on Thursday 10th December at 7.30 pm in the Village Hall following a presentation on Wiltshire 2026 by local planning professional Mike Johnson. All welcome. 16th November 2009 ______________________________________________________ All non urgent Parish Council and community news can now be found in the Sherston Cliffhanger.
