Wiltshire Councils Development Planning Document (DPD). This additional demand by the new DPD has also been discussed as the proposals directly affect our neighbourhood - where and how many additional houses might be built in the parish. The new DPD has only recently been published and could have a major impact on our village if left unopposed. To ensure that your views are represented, Wiltshire Council are holding a series of meetings July to September at which you can have your say . The Trowbridge exhibition takes place between 12pm and 7pm in the County Hall Atrium on 26 July 2017.
Our NP is progressing well and will be presented to Wiltshire Council shortly for its first review. All your responses from our consultation meetings have been considered and form part of the plan with additional work from a Landscaping Consultant. This will ensure that the plan has every aspect of the North Bradley environment and surrounding area covered.
We will update the Parish Council web site once the Neighbourhood Plan has been presented to Wiltshire Council.
