The next meeting is on the 13th December.
In the light of the recent government ‘announcement’, I have submitted the following question.
'It has been reported that the government’s Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill will be amended so that ‘housing targets’ will become advisory. Councils will be able to set a lower level of home building if complying would ‘significantly change the character of an area’.
The suggested housing development north-east of Hilperton in the draft Local Plan Review would obviously be a significant change to the character of the area (from open countryside to an urban housing development) and also cause a significant loss of rural area.
In the circumstances, what consideration will Wiltshire Council give to the forthcoming legislation when it publishes the next version of the Local Plan Review next year?'
