South Wiltshire Core Strategy Review Consultation
Following the suspension of the Examination in Public (EiP), in July 2010, and a subsequent procedural meeting, in January, a review of the submisison draft is now out for a public consultation from Thursday 14th April until 5pm on Friday 27th May, 2011.
The review is a direct response to the announcement by the Secretary of State that he intends to abolish Regional Strategies. It is this intention, especially with regards to potential implications on housing and employment figures, that was agreed as the basis for the review with the Inspector overseeing the EiP.
The outcome of the Review has identified a number of proposed amendments to the submitted document. The council is inviting representations on the soundness of these changes only.

Background
The South Wiltshire Core Strategy Development Plan Document (DPD) 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.
How does the South Wiltshire Core Strategy relate to the Wiltshire Core Strategy?
The South Wiltshire Core Strategy relating to the former Salisbury district area is well advanced and its completion will enable new housing sites to be identified before the Wiltshire Core Strategy is in place and a five year housing land supply to be maintained. The South Wiltshire Core Strategy, essentially a transitional document, will in effect be replaced by the Wiltshire wide Core Strategy when the latter document is adopted.
