Salisbury Plain Sustainable Communities Project Salisbury Plain Sustainable Communities Project Executive Summary Prepared with the support of and financed through: 1 Introduction and Background to the Study This paper provides an executive summary of the full Salisbury Plain Sustainable Communities Project Report produced by Drivers Jonas Deloitte. This paper is intended to provide a headline overview of the work undertaken and recommendations made. The full report should be referred to for more detail. Drivers Jonas Deloitte, working with WYG, were appointed by Wiltshire Council [on behalf of the Military Civilian Integration Programme (MCI)] to prepare a study to assess ways of enhancing the sustainability of communities in the settlements across Salisbury Plain which have significant military presence. The Project Brief identified that the key purpose of the study was to: “… rigorously explore and improve understanding of the dynamics of existing communities, including the impacts of the proposed changes to these settlements as a result of the Salisbury Plain Super Garrison (SGSG) project. It will need to investigate how planned investment in the area could be used as a catalyst to improve the sustainability of those communities.” The study explored a wide range of issues and factors which, when combined, would contribute towards resilient and sustainable communities, such as in relation to economy and skills, housing and the built environment, services, transport and connectivity, environmental, social, cultural and governance. Based on this analysis, the Stage 2 report set out a comprehensive suite of recommendations / prioritised physical and non-physical actions through an Implementation Plan for delivering more integrated and sustainable communities. The study predominantly focused on the settlements of Bulford, Larkhill, Tidworth and Ludgershall. The town of Warminster was also examined. Specific growth options for Warminster have not been defined due to the level of planned growth already defined for the settlement. Consideration of Warminster has however provided a useful benchmark to compare and contrast performance against the other settlements being considered. The approach to the study followed a number of logical steps, with each stage of work helping to guide and inform the next. The main steps can be summarised as follows: Overview of Key Steps Step 1: Project Inception Step 2: Baseline Assessment, including analysis of the large amount of existing primary data available and secondary data (including Consultation with military and non military groups and organisations). Step 3: SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) Analysis Step 4: Options Report and Feasibility Assessment Step 5: Final Recommended Option Report and Implementation Plan Executive Summary Salisbury Plain Sustainable Communities Project 1 2 Baseline Assessment and SWOT Analysis A great deal of research had already been undertaken before this study began which formed an important starting point for the baseline assessment; including information identified as part of other studies completed on behalf of the MCI. These included: § “Envisioning the Future” (July 2009); § “Military Presence and Economic Significance in the South West Region” (March 2009); and § “Impact of the Military on the Agricultural Sector in Wiltshire” (May 2008). Other existing research also provided useful background baseline information for this study, including the Lessons Learned Project and the Peoples Voice survey, together with other more dated studies (focussed mainly on the Tidworth / Ludgershall area). Building on existing research, consultation with key stakeholders was carried out to provide a more refined understanding of sustainability and integration issues affecting the area. A summary of the key groups and organisations consulted is set out below and a separate Consultation Report has been produced to accompany the Final Reports.

These are summarised in the tables that follow. 2.1 Strategic Integration Considerations Strengths Weaknesses The Military presence – significant contribution to sustainability Certain key decisions about the scale and location of new military- (funding, facilities, job creation etc) related development have already been made. Established partnership working between the Council, Military, Delivery Operational and security considerations and other factors (such as Agencies and the Voluntary Sector location of land holdings) are important drivers for military development and change – may restrict opportunities for change General positive view towards the benefits arising from having a strong level of Military presence in the area Traditionally, the disposal of military land can be a relatively long process The Military Firm Base commitment Well established settlement hierarchy – the existing patterns of The Military’s Strategic Vision settlement hierarchy and travel may be difficult to change Opportunities Threats The extent of military land holdings (which may be surplus to requirements) Military ‘land gifting’ and future enhanced partnership working The Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) – reduced funding The Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) The Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR) – reduced funding. Reduction in military funding could mean more troops brought back to Operational deployment will continue to impact on the viability of certain Wiltshire from deployment overseas services Although certain military development is already planned, opportunities still exist to influence future decision making 2.2 Community Strengths Weaknesses Well established settlement hierarchy – the existing patterns of Well established and strong social support network for Military settlement hierarchy may be difficult to change populations, including dependants Established pattern of Military and non-military housing - existing Extensive range of leisure (and other community) facilities physical segregation potentially available to non-military related local populations Certain Military housing, such as that in connection with the Salisbury Generally viewed as a safe and attractive living environment Plain Super Garrison, is already planned Certain areas score favourably against deprivation indicators Lag between Military families arriving and new Military family housing being built Support for military leavers to be retained in the local area Relatively high cost of private housing No significant issues identified in relation to the condition of the Military and non-military housing stock (with the exception of the Certain areas score poorly against deprivation indicators Canadian Estate in Bulford) Some qualitative and quantitative gaps in the provision of social and Significant land opportunities for growth at a number of the community facilities within certain areas settlements being considered Isolation – particular issue for Military dependants Institutionalisation – issues in connection with transfer from Army to civilian life Executive Summary Salisbury Plain Sustainable Communities Project 3 Military turbulence and limited exchange of information which makes identifying and planning for future requirements difficult Segregation of Military and civilian welfare services and facilities Accessibility to facilities – perceived and actual barriers to usage of Military-owned leisure and other community facilities by wider civilian communities Opportunities Threats Firm Base commitment – Promotion of longer term retention of military personnel in the area Planned new facilities (e.g. Tidworth Garrison Theatre) Maintaining the current approaches (e.g. working with RSLs) New delivery models – Potential for the Military to explore new approaches to delivery of housing Military Operational Requirements – an ongoing requirement to have the majority of soldiers in a single location could limit the future ability Better utilisation of Military void properties to address short term to create truly mixed new housing developments housing needs Uncertainty in the delivery of planned married quarters housing Potential for ‘Spoke and Hubs’ / ‘One Stop Shops’ providing integrated Council and Military welfare and other services.

As part of Design Fix B, ten route options have then been developed for the two Corridors, informed by the previous studies that have been undertaken for the scheme. However three of the ten route options utilised a 4.5km long tunnel under the WHS. All three options were assessed to generate scheme capital costs in the region of £2 Billion which significantly exceeded the scheme budget and were immediately rejected on affordability grounds. The methodology used to appraise the remaining seven route options developed within the preferred Corridors D and F, follows on from that used for the Initial Corridors Appraisal in Design Fix A, and consists of the Transport Business Case Five Case Model criteria using the Option Assessment Framework contained within the Web-based Transport Analysis Guidance (WebTAG) Transport Appraisal Process. The more detailed assessment methodologies and the assessments of the Corridor D and the Corridor F route options are detailed below. These are based on the Transport Business Case Five Case Model criteria and use the Option Assessment Framework contained within the WebTAG Transport Appraisal Process.

  • Found on England's Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, Stonehenge Is a Huge
    Found on England’s Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, Stonehenge is a huge man-made circle of standing stones. Built by our ancestors over many hundreds of years, it’s one of the world’s most famous prehistoric monuments… And one of its biggest mysteries, too! When was Stonehenge built? Work started on this super stone circle around 5,000 years ago in the late Neolithic Age – but it took over 1,000 years to build, in four long stages! Archaeologists believe the final changes were made around 1,500BC, in the early Bronze Age. The structure of Stonehenge If you visit Stonehenge today, you’ll see many of the enormous stones still standing strong in a circular arrangement. Archaeological research shows that the structure of this amazing monument changed over time, as it was built and rebuilt by generations of ancient peoples. 4,000 years ago, Stonehenge was made up of an outer circle of 30 standing stones called ‘sarsens’, which surrounded five huge stone arches in a horseshoe shape. There were also two circles made of smaller ‘bluestones’ – one inside the outer circle and one inside the horseshoe – as well as four ‘station stones’ positioned outside the central monument. The entire site was surrounded by a circular ditch and bank, which also remains this day! How was Stonehenge built? It’s a question that has baffled people for centuries – and even to this day, no theory has been proven! How could people thousands of years ago have transported and arranged such colossal stones? A legend from the 12th century claimed giants placed the monument on a mountain in Ireland, before a wizard named Merlin magically moved the stone circle to England.

  • Battlebury Hillfort
    Battlebury Hillfort A BACAS walk on this Wiltshire hill fort (ST898456) was arranged for a Sunday excursion to a afternoon in May when we hoped to see, in addition to archaeology, some Hillfort on splendid orchids. However, it could have been October as the weather was Salisbury Plain Awet and windy. Richard Osgood, the senior historic advisor to the Ministry of Defence in the Salisbury Plain area, was our guide for the afternoon. Jackie Thompson The Salisbury Plain military training area is about the size of the Isle of Wight and has not been under intensive cultivation for the past hundred years, making it a well protected landscape. The chalk grassland is an artificial feature, the product of livestock grazing which continues to the present day, and extends for 30km to the east, with Battlebury lying at its western edge. There are 5 hillforts and 307 scheduled monuments on the Plain including Neolithic long barrows and Bronze Age round barrows. Battlebury is a bivallate hillfort and encloses an area of 23.5 acres. Three round barrows were preserved during its construction, the ramparts being built around them. Sir Richard Colt Hoare recorded digging one of them in the 1820s, finding a female skeleton with a glass bead. We walked around its perimeter, beginning at the West gate and moving round to the South, overlooking the army camp which houses the Yorkshire Regiment. A modern bench sits on the edge of the ramparts looking down on the camp, a memorial to six soldiers of the regiment who were all killed together in Afghanistan in March 2012.

  • Exploring the Landscape of Stonehenge
    Discovery, innovation and science in the historic environment Exploring the landscape of Stonehenge Issue 06 | Summer 2017 The landscape of Stonehenge This view from Stonehenge across the A303 and part of the Southern WHS project area was taken from a balloon in 2006, marking the centenary of the first aerial photograph of Stonehenge. The photo predates the closure of the A344 and car park next to the stones. 2 | Historic England Research | Issue 6: Summer 2017 © Historic England, Damian Grady, 24379/023, 24 July 2006 Issue 6: Summer 2017 | Historic England Research | 3 I’m delighted to introduce this, the sixth issue of Historic England Research. Given the current, and understandably passionate, debate about how best to manage serious and increasing traffic congestion on the A303 as it crosses the Stonehenge World Heritage Site, the focus on Stonehenge is timely. In this case our focus is not on visitor or traffic management through the site, but instead on how research by Historic England and others is continuing to enhance our understanding and appreciation of the Stonehenge landscape – an important ambition of the World Heritage Site Management Plan. As recent findings at Durrington Walls and south of the A303 demonstrate, and despite this being one of the most intensively studied archaeological landscapes in the country, continuing investment in research is delivering important new insights and narratives. This, in turn, will create even greater public interest, engagement and enjoyment of a monument and landscape that continue to exercise an unparalleled hold on people’s imagination. I hope you enjoy this latest addition to the series and, indeed, previous issues of the magazine – which are available to download from the back issues webpage.

These are areas East that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision- Yorkshire making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services.
