Do please fill in the required information, e.g. your postcode.  This will help us to understand responses from people living within the MANP area as well as those who work or visit the area.

The consultation runs until 8 March and your comments will be passed to the MANP Steering Group and used to help review the draft Neighbourhood Plan.

Due to Coronavirus lockdown restrictions, the Steering Group is unable to hold face-to-face drop-in sessions.  Two online Q&A sessions were held instead and the presentation given together with the answers to questions raised are on our Regulation 14 introduction page.

 A Neighbourhood Plan is limited to land use.  For example, it does not cover highways related matters.

It will not be possible to respond to each email individually or answer questions about the plan while the consultation is ongoing.  The Steering Group will answer questions during its online event and FAQs will be added to the website as the consultation progresses.

If you have not already done so, you may like to watch a video outlining the scope of the Neighbourhood Plan (also known as the Pre Submission Document)

If you have already sent in your comments, but find that you wish to add further feedback after reading the documents in detail or attending the online session you may of course send in another response.

 

Wiltshire Council's consultation on its Local Plan is running too.  This is a different, more strategic document, but will be influenced by our Neighbourhood Plan and this consultation.

 

 This consultation runs from 18 January to 8 March

If you would like a hard copy of the Plan (or accessible versions of any of the body of evidence documents) or would like to comment by letter or need more information, please get in touch via the Town Clerk at Marlborough Area Neighbourhood Plan (MANP) c/o Marlborough Town Council, 5 High Street, Marlborough SN8 1AA or email enquiries@marlborough-tc.gov.uk or call 01672 512487 or 07593 584099

THANK YOU

THE DRAFT PLAN CONSULTATION CLOSED AT MIDNIGHT ON 8 MARCH - THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO SUBMITTED A RESPONSE
