List of evidence base documents
On this page, however, you will find the following topic papers, background studies, surveys, assessments and other documents, which collectively form the evidence base for the South Wiltshire Core Strategy.
South Wiltshire Strategic Housing Market Assessment
The Strategic Housing Market Assessment, published in January 2011, provides evidence to inform housing policies within South Wiltshire. Planning Policy Statement 3 (Housing) requires local authorities to undertake Strategic Housing Market Assessments as part of the evidence base required to inform the development of planning and housing policy.
The assessment considers the need for affordable housing as well as homes to be sold and rented on the open market. The assessment also explores how people might expect to live in the future, taking into account changes in population, household formations, and developments in the local economy.
Specific areas of interest are also investigated, such as the rural housing market, affordability of housing, the needs of older people and those with ‘special needs’.
This assessment replaces the 2006 Salisbury District Housing Needs & Market Survey.
Salisbury Transport Model
A transport model is required in order to assess the transport impacts of this growth. In 2009 a transport model was developed which shows how and when people travel by car, bus and train in Salisbury. The movement of goods by HGVs are also included in the transport model. When the model is run, the results show how much traffic there is on the roads, how many people use public transport. The model also tells us how congested the roads are. The model has then been used to test the transport impact of building more houses and providing more jobs for the year 2026. The changes can then be compared to the situation in 2008.
The modeling gives us the assurance that there are a range of improvements and changes which could be developed that would allow Salisbury’s growth to take place.
The next stage of the transport modeling work is to develop a Transport Strategy for Salisbury. This will aim to reduce the amount of traffic congestion on the roads in Salisbury by 2026. The Transport Strategy will be prepared by early 2010. It will provide the blueprint as to how future traffic growth in Salisbury can be managed. The first part of this process is to model the Council’s Established Approach to transport policy. The second part is to model a Radical Option to transport policy. The results of this stage will show the degree to which different transport options could have on meeting agreed objectives. This stage is reported in the Options Assessment Report.

Review of the Salisbury Central Area '40 Foot Rule' Policy
The Review of the Salisbury Central Area '40 Foot Rule', published in August 2008, looks at the so-called '40 Foot Rule', which places a strict limit on the amount of development possible within the Salisbury Central Area.

Landscape Character Assessment
A Landscape Character Assessment, published in February 2008, provides an integrated assessment of the character of the south Wiltshire area and serves as a baseline of environmental information, aiding understanding of the diversity, character, distrinctiveness, sensitivity to change and management needs of the landscapes in the south Wiltshire area. The Landscape Character Assessment has specifically been used as evidence to inform the South Wiltshire Core Strategy

Strategic Flood Risk Assessment
Strategic Flood Risk Assessment Level Two (September 2009)
In September 2009, a Level Two Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) was published for the two areas being considered for future development in the South Wiltshire Core Strategy that are at risk of flooding. These areas are the Churchfields Industrial Estate and the Central Car Park/ Maltings in Salisbury. The main report and the flood maps are available to download below.

Strategic Flood Risk Assessment Level One (February 2008)
A Level One Strategic Flood Risk Assessment was jointly commissioned with four other local councils: Bournemouth Borough Council, Christchurch Borough Council, East Dorset District Council and North Dorset District Council: and was published in February 2008.
The SFRA assesses all forms of flood risk both now and in the future (taking likely climate change into account). The purpose is to:
- inform the sustainability appraisal so that flood risk is taken into account when considering options in the preparation of strategic land use policies;
- propose appropriate policy recommendations for the management of flood risk within the Local Development Documents;
- determine the acceptability of flood risk in relation to emergency planning capability;
- identify the level of detail required for future site-specific Flood Risk Assessments (FRAs) that support planning applications.

Settlement Setting Assessment
The Settlement Setting Assessment, published in February 2008, was commissioned alongside the Landscape Character Assessment and:
- Assesses the key sensitivities and capacities of the landscape within the settings of the main settlements in the south Wiltshire area in relation to development and change
- Analyses the key qualities that are desirable to safeguard
- Provides recommendations on how and where new development might best be accommodated, within each settlement.

Salisbury Vision
The Salisbury Vision is a plan that outlines a long term programme of change and gradual development aimed at improving the lives of everyone that lives in, works in or visits Salisbury. It sets out a range of proposals that have been designed to tackle the big issues facing the city, such as delivering major improvements to traffic, transport and parking, making the city’s streets, pavements and other public areas more attractive and encouraging major new developments that will bring shops, jobs and increased leisure opportunities.
Employment Land Review
The Employment Land Review, published in April 2007, is intended to provide a robust analysis of employment land supply and demand. It will function as a broad evidence base on employment land and economic issues for the South Wiltshire Core Strategy, which will itself set out key principles for development and a vision for the future distribution of development in the area. Clear guidance will be given by the Review towards the allocation of new sites in a future Wiltshire Site Allocations Development Plan Document and it will also serve as a point of reference by the Council in determining planning applications relating to employment land.
Open Space Study
This study, published in 2007, is a requirement of government planning guidance and investigates whether the current level of open space provision is sufficient in terms of quality, quantity and accessibility to meet the needs of our residents now and in the future.

Indices of Multiple Deprivation: 2004 and 2007 an Update for Salisury District
Periodically the government releases updates on levels of deprivation for small areas across England known as “Super Output Areas” (or “SOA”). These are a standard yardstick for national comparison of deprivation, and derive directly from information on such things as claiming benefits, unemployment, and crime figures. There are over 32,000 of these and therefore the data is useful in identifying small “pockets” of deprivation. An individual SOA typically has only a few hundred residents. Within Salisbury there are 73 SOAs, so individual electoral wards have between 1 and 5.
Retail and Leisure Needs Study
A Retail and Leisure Needs Study, published in October 2006, provides a context for policies and proposals within the forthcoming South Wiltshire Core Strategy, with particularl reference to the amount of floorspace that needs to be allocated for future retail and leisure development.
