Purton Parish Council Neighbourhood Neighbourhood Plan Revision 2024
Everyone now has the chance to have their say on the future of Purton, as outlined in the ‘Purton Neighbourhood Plan Revision’ document. For the unfamiliar, a Neighbourhood Plan is a vision document for the Parish, which includes objectives and policies on housing, environment, transport, facilities etc.
Neighbourhood Plans are used by Local Authorities such as Wiltshire Council and Housing Developers, to understand what each local community needs and wants. To ensure that Neighbourhood Plans stay up to date with local needs, they are reviewed and revised every five years.
Everyone will be able to have their say over the next six weeks, between 10.00am on Tuesday 10th of September, until the deadline for comments at 5.00pm on Tuesday 22nd of October.
