Wiltshire Council seeks people's views on Core Strategy changes (From This Is Wiltshire)

Wiltshire Council is holding a six-week consultation on proposed changes to the draft core strategy agreed by councillors in June.

The document sets out the county’s strategy for economic development, planning, services and housing.

In July the council submitted the strategy for independent examination by a Government-appointed inspector, who will assess it further later this year.

Cabinet member for economic development Fleur de Rhe-Philipe said: “We are nearly at the stage where an inspector will examine the strategy in public.

“As this is an evolving document drafted over a number of years we have had to update it to reflect various changes.

“We would now welcome people's views on the matters being raised through this consultation.”

The consultation will run until November 1.
