The draft South West Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) is promoting the allocation of 3,000 homes to be located to the west of Swindon within the North Wiltshire area. Local planning policy, (Wiltshire and Swindon Core Strategies), must be in line with this regional policy and Wiltshire Council and Swindon Borough Council have worked jointly to assess the most appropriate location for these homes should the allocation within the RSS be adopted.

We released our findings for a six week public consultation, which ran from Monday 16 February until Monday 30 March, 2009. The following consultation documents are available to download.
