Extra time to have your say on Salisbury's Neighbourhood Development Plan

Thursday, 22 September 2022 01:00

People in Salisbury are being given an extra chance to help shape the future of the city via an easy-to-do online consultation.

Over 500 comments have already been made on the Salisbury Neighbourhood Development Plan community consultation website.

The neighbourhood plan is a document that sets up the planning policies for a local area. The draft has been written by the local community - the people who know and love the area - to ensure the community gets the right types of development, in the right place.

Salisbury's neighbourhood plan covers many topics such as transport – cycling, walking, EV points, biodiversity and local habitats, the design of buildings and specific sites for proposed development.

"We want as many comments as possible on the things that matter to you. Due to recent events, the consultation period has been extended to Friday 14 October."
