Overview of Neighbourhood Plan
If you missed the recent public meetings and haven't had time to read the plan in full, read on for a quick summary....
UPDATED 10 AUGUST:
Wiltshire Council has received a claim for judicial review relating to the Draft Marlborough Area Neighbourhood Plan. The Counting Officer, Terence Herbert, has been instructed to suspend the Referendum due to be held on 11 August 2022 following an order of the court until further notice. This means that the poll will not take place on Thursday 11 August 2022.

It outlines the policies related to land use that will apply to all future planning applications in the Neighbourhood Area (Marlborough, Manton, Mildenhall, Savernake) if it is 'made' (adopted) at the referendum on 11 August. These policies will give weight to future planning applications that will address concerns raised by residents around:
- Lack of affordable housing
- Protection of our heritage, green and recreational spaces and landscape
- Lack of car parking spaces
- Lack of medical facilities
- Need for more recreational land
Polling Day is 11 August. Read more here
