Local Plan

Current consultation (Reg 19) autumn 2023

Wiltshire Local Plan Regulation 19 consultation

The Wiltshire Local Plan (also referred to here as 'the Plan') has reached what is known as the publication stage (Regulation 19) of its preparation, and will now enter an eight week consultation period running from Wednesday 27 September to Wednesday 22 November.

This consultation is the final stage before the Plan, its accompanying evidence, and all submitted comments are sent to a government Planning Inspector for independent examination. In accordance with the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (legislation.gov.uk) (opens new window), the Planning Inspector will consider all comments made within the consultation period.

Live webinar and drop-in events

As part of the consultation there will be a live webinar, and 16 drop-in events at libraries and leisure centres across the county.

Your personal details

To ensure an effective and fair examination, it is important that the Inspector and all other participants in the examination process are able to know who has made comments (known as 'representations' in this context)on the plan. The council will therefore ensure that the names of those making representations can be made available (including publication on the council's website) and taken into account by the Inspector.

The council therefore cannot accept anonymous representations - you must provide us with your name and contact details. Address details will not be made publicly available. All personal data will be handled in line with the council's Spatial Planning privacy notice.
