  • Swindon Bus Station
    What is this document? We (primarily Lee) have looked at what the bus network might look like under option 24/7 in a pilot area, at the request of Philip Whitehead (meetings March and April 2016) The area selected was from (in the north) the Bath – Corsham – Chippenham – Calne – Royal Wootton Bassett corridor through to the Bath – Bradford-on-Avon – Trowbridge – Westbury – Warminster corridor to the West, covering all of West Wilts, services within that area out to Devizes. There is always considerable overlap across boundaries with public transport services, so you'll find significant services off the edge listed here, many of which are adjustments of ongoing supported services to continue to provide a logical, useful service. The suggestions here reduce the number of vehicle diagrams in the area from 59 to 52 – a saving of around 14%. The number of drivers required would be reduced somewhat less due to extension of some ENCTS time only services to cover journeys to and from work and in the evening and on Sundays and perhaps where appropriate a night bus. In general, very very few places / streets have lost their services, whilst areas such as the Pewsham Estate in Chippenham and Pickwick Road in Corsham see regular buses return, having been withdrawn under the current system. A number of new journey opportunities are provided too (some significant, some making use of much better bus / train connectivity) but there are cases where a change of vehicle will now be needed in place of a through service. Currently commercial services which thrive as “turn up and go” operations remain hardly changed – we are not proposing messing with what works – keeping the good.

    Trowbridge Recreation Strategy and Visitor Surveys. Chris Panter, Sophie Lake & Durwyn Liley FOOTPRINT ECOLOGY, FOREST OFFICE, BERE ROAD, WAREHAM, DORSET BH20 7PA WWW.FOOTPRINT-ECOLOGY.CO.UK 01929 552444 Footprint Contract Reference: 400 Date: 6th November 2018 Version: Final Recommended Citation: Panter, C., Lake, S. & Liley D. (2018). Trowbridge Visitor Survey and Recreation Management Strategy. Unpublished report by Footprint Ecology for Wiltshire Council. 2 TROWBRIDGE RECREATION STRATEGY Summary This report has been commissioned by Wiltshire Council to consider recreation and urban pressures on the nature conservation interest of woodland near to Trowbridge. The adopted Wiltshire Core Strategy sets out a provision for a considerable amount of development in Trowbridge (allocating 5860 dwellings), including an allocation for a major urban extension (2,600 dwellings) to the east of the town. In addition, further residential development at the town will come forward through the Wiltshire Housing Site Allocations Plan. Habitats Regulations Assessment work has identified potential risks to the Bath and Bradford-on-Avon Bats Special Area of Conservation (SAC), as some of the woods outside Trowbridge (while outside the SAC) support bats that are part of the SAC population. Part of the concerns relate to the increased recreation and urban pressures on the woods, which hold maternity roosts for Bechstein’s Bats. The Wiltshire Housing Site Allocations Plan is considering several options around Trowbridge, which include sites at varying distances from the woods. The Council has also received a significant number of speculative planning applications for major housing development on the periphery of the town. While the effects of the Core Strategy and allocated urban extension have already been considered and mitigated through appropriate assessment, the HRAs for the Housing Site Allocations Plan and some pending applications have yet to be completed.

    Wiltshire Local Development Framework Working towards a Core Strategy for Wiltshire Topic paper 3: Settlement strategy Appendices Wiltshire Core Strategy Consultation January 2012 Wiltshire Council Information about Wiltshire Council services can be made available on request in other languages including BSL and formats such as large print and audio. Please contact the council on 0300 456 0100, by textphone on 01225 712500 or by email on [email protected]. Appendix A – Role and Function Study of Local Service Centres Planning Policy Statement 12 (PPS12, 2008) recognises that a settlement strategy is key to ensuring sustainable patterns of development are delivered in appropriate locations at an appropriate scale. The Settlement Strategy Topic Paper provides the detailed background explaining how the settlement strategy for Wiltshire has been identified. Categorising the role and function of settlements is an important first step that will help to understand appropriate levels of growth that should be planned for within settlements. The 2011 Settlement Strategy seeks to provide a framework within which the ambitions of Wiltshire‟s rural communities can be realised. As part of this framework a number of settlements, which are considered to have a pronounced role in the rural area and in most cases act as local services centres serving the wider rural hinterland are identified. There were 5 settlements that have been identified as potentially having a service centre role. These settlements are; Cricklade, Lyneham, Market Lavington, Pewsey & Purton. In very general terms a Local Service Centre will have some or all of the following characteristics. Large population (over 2,000) Significant employment base; A very good range of services; A secondary school; Excellent transport connections; Potential to support development in the rural area; The largest settlement within the community.
