    7 Action Projects The following section of the Neighbourhood Plan outlines action projects identified which would benefit the community. It will be for the parish council and local people, working with key agencies such as Wiltshire Council to deliver these action projects over the coming years. This section of the Neighbourhood Plan will not be examined as part of the Neighbourhood Plan, however, it does pick up on key issues identified by the community during consultation on the Neighbourhood Plan, and issues identified in the evidence base. Action projects are included on the following themes: - Housing - Economy and Employment - Tourism - Traffic and Transport - Cemetery expansion - Youth Facilities !23 Housing Surveys of community opinion have shown clearly that highest perceived priority is affordable housing, especially for younger families. Because of the local market prices, affordable in practice means Social Housing, which is in the hands in North Wiltshire of various Housing Associations. The future policies of these Associations are currently (2018) under review, but none intend at present to replace in the Parish any local stock sold. A July 2017 Wiltshire Council Housing Needs Survey Report assessed the current needs as 14 additional subsidised rental and shared ownership homes. This survey did not include those local families who have already been driven out of the Parish by high market prices, but which would like to return. There are no sites available even within the recently (2018) extended Settlement which could meet that need in mixed estates. Furthermore, although there is currently no imposed Housing target for the Parish, there probably will be in the period up to 2036.

  • Open Downland

    Open Downland

    8. LANDSCAPE TYPE 1: OPEN DOWNLAND Location and Boundaries 8.1. The landscape type encompasses a number of distinct downland blocks from the Marlborough Downs (1A) and Horton Down (1C) in the west running through to the Lambourn Downs (1B) and Blewbury Downs (1D) in the east. Boundaries are mainly defined by topography and the Upper Chalk geology, and in the north relate to the top of the Scarp (landscape type 5). To the south, the edge of the chalk similarly forms a distinct boundary. Overview The Open Downlands are the remote heart and core of the North Wessex Downs, with the dramatic landscapes created by the underlying chalk rocks being one of the defining features of the AONB. The subtle curves and undulations of the landform are revealed by the uniform clothing of cropped grass or cereals creating a landscape with a simple and elemental quality, accentuated by vast skies. The open, expansive views are punctuated by distinctive beech clumps crowning the downland summits, forming prominent and highly visible landmarks. Sparsely populated, the downlands possess a strong sense remoteness and isolation. Predominantly in arable cultivation these are landscapes of great seasonal variation, with muted browns and greys of the chalk and flinty soils in the ploughed autumn fields, giving way to fresh greens of the emerging crops in winter and spring and sweeping yellows and golds of summer. The characteristic close-cropped springy downland turf of the surviving herb-rich chalk grassland provides an important habitat and this landscape type contains the largest areas of designated chalk grassland in the AONB, with 15 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

Its The underlying Clay with Flints strongly southern boundary is defined by the dramatic, influences landcover, creating less well drained steep chalk scarp which overlooks and forms the neutral soils which support woodland cover and northern edge of the Vale of Pewsey. The area is a generally rich landscape. Patterns of landcover distinguished from the northern part of the fall into three main groups; open arable Marlborough Downs by a richer vegetation cover downland, enclosed downland, and woodland. overall and by the extensive woodland cover of The latter includes solid woodland blocks, Savernake Forest in particular, lying on the mosaics of woodland/farmland, and the large deposits of Clay-with-Flints which mask the parks, and includes examples of relict heathland underlying chalk. Apart from the larger expanses in places. of forest, the landscape is characterised by a mosaic of farmland and woodland blocks, giving it an intimate and enclosed character which contrasts with the wide open downland to the north.
