The plan sets out the Council’s spatial vision, key objectives and overall principles for development in the area of the former Salisbury District Council.

The key objectives of the vision have been derived from an analysis of the former District’s characteristics, a review of the former District and County Council’s own corporate plans and priorities (for example, the Sustainable Community Strategy) and national and regional planning guidance. At its heart is the delivery of viable and vibrant communities based on the principles of sustainability.

The Core Strategy aims to balance the competing environmental, social and economic pressures by prescribing a sustainable spatial strategy for the future development of South Wiltshire. This will include the location of strategic sites for new housing and employment development, as well as policies with which planning applications will be judged.

The Core Strategy will include a Key Diagram to show the spatial aspects of the Strategy and include objectives and principles for the whole of South Wiltshire, as well as, policies relating to specific locations within South Wiltshire.

The South Wiltshire Core Strategy DPD covers the former Salisbury district area (please note that this now excludes the part of Wiltshire that now constitutes part of the New Forest National Park) and should be in conformity with the South Regional Spatial Strategy.

This plan will guide all development in South Wiltshire to 2026, including new housing development on sites such as Fugglestone Red.  The adopted Core Strategy & associated documents are online at Wiltshire Council (see link below) and copies are also available at Salisbury, Wilton & Tisbury libraries, as well as the main Council offices in Salisbury (27-29 Milford Street).

Towards the end of last year you completed a survey about what you thought about life in Salisbury. This is to say a big thank you for answering the questions and to let you know what we are now doing with all the information we have received.

Over 3000 questionnaires were returned with a good spread of replies from across the city. There was a good response from the 70+ and 60-69, 50-59 and 40-49 age groups BUT only a 3% response rate from the 20-29 age group who represent 11% of the population and only a 0.2% response rate was received from the 13-19 age group.

Using the answers to the questionnaire work has now begun on drawing up a Community Plan for Salisbury which will shape the city’s future. However to make the plan truly reflective we really do need to hear the voice of the younger generation living in Salisbury. Above there is a poster advertising SCCAP’s AGM on Thursday 16 June which will have the theme ‘Bridging the gap – working across the generations’. We would like to invite you to come to this meeting and bring with you a young person or young adult you know between the ages of 13-29 so that we can get mixed age groups working together to identify key themes and issues . We hope you will be willing to be a mentor to a young person for the evening.

The draft ideas for the Community Plan will be available at Salisbury Library for view and comment throughout the afternoon on 16 June and at the AGM. Refreshments will be provided.
