The Local Plan consultation begins next month with in-person and online events.

The consultation for the Wiltshire Local Plan begins on Wednesday 27 September, with in-person events being held across the county to enable your communities to find out more.

Wiltshire Council are holding 16 drop-in events at libraries and leisure centres around Wiltshire and a live webinar-style event on Microsoft Teams. People can just turn up to the in-person events, but they’ll need to register beforehand for the online event which takes place between 6.30pm-8pm on Tuesday 10 October.

To encourage communities to attend the in-person events, Wiltshire Council has produced a poster

If residents cannot make their local in-person event, they are welcome to attend any of the others to discuss the plan and their own area – all events are open to all.

The Local Plan sets out the vision and framework for housing, infrastructure and land for employment growth for the next 15 years. Once adopted, all planning applications will be determined against the Plan, making it the most important place-shaping document for Wiltshire.

The consultation begins on Wednesday 27 September and ends at 23:59 on Wednesday 22 November. To find out more and to sign up for the online event, people should go to www.wiltshire.gov.uk/local-plan.

Events are 3pm-7pm
