The Neighbourhood Plan seeks to enhance the natural environment, support and encourage high quality housing, local jobs and improved retail and leisure facilities in a healthy, green and attractive town and series of villages. The Neighbourhood Plan has been drawn up by a Steering Group made up of Town and Parish Councillors and local residents, working under the guidance of Calne Town Council and Calne Without Parish Council which are the designated bodies for the plan area and provided the funding and support to enable the plan to go ahead. This Neighbourhood Plan has been reviewed by residents and key stakeholders through an extensive consultation process. Comments made during the early stages have been taken into account. All comments and suggestions received as part of consultation have been carefully considered and where viable and/or suitable the Neighbourhood Plan has been amended accordingly. The Neighbourhood Plan sets down a series of planning policies which, once agreed by means of a referendum, then form part of Wiltshire’s wider statutory development plan when it has been adopted, a process legally known as being ‘made’. The Neighbourhood Plan has been subject to an Independent Examination and will finally be subjected to a referendum requiring a majority “yes” vote of all those voting in the referendum for it to be accepted. In the event of a “yes” vote, Wiltshire Council will proceed to “make” the Neighbourhood Plan for the Town of Calne and the Parish of Calne Without. It is intended that the policies will be reviewed periodically to monitor the cumulative effects of the policies and, if necessary, make changes to keep them up to date and relevant. This will be undertaken in conjunction with the Planning Authority, Wiltshire Council. Councillor Tom Rounds Chair of the Calne Community Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group 6 Calne Community Neighbourhood Plan – Referendum Plan January 2018 Acknowledgements Calne Community Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group would like to extend their thanks to all those who have been involved with the formation of the Neighbourhood Plan. In undergoing this process, we have seen first-hand the passion that our community has for the area and how it develops over the coming years. We would especially like to thank the general public who have actively participated throughout the process. Without all their contributions, the Calne Community Neighbourhood Plan would not exist and we would not have the opportunity to decide the town and village’s future as we do now. Additional thanks to: Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group Volunteers Lemon Gazelle Community Interest Company AECOM The Steering Group also gratefully acknowledges the support received from officers at Wiltshire Council. The Independent Examination was held by Andrew Matheson MSc MPA DipTP MRTPI FCIH an Independent Examiner appointed through the Neighbourhood Planning Independent Examiner Referral Service.

The Localism Act 2011 introduced a new type of Community Led Plan. Communities now have the right to produce a Neighbourhood Plan, setting out policies on the development and use of land. Developing a Neighbourhood Plan is a way for communities to play a greater role in determining the future of their area. 2. The Calne Community Neighbourhood Plan will form part of the statutory development plan once made. Wiltshire Council will determine planning applications within Calne and Calne Without in accordance with the Development Plan, which includes the Neighbourhood Plan, unless material considerations indicate otherwise (see section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004). 3. This Neighbourhood Plan is a true Community Led Plan. It has been prepared by the Town Council and Parish Council through a steering group made up of Town and Parish Councillors and local residents. It has been informed by public consultation with the local community. The options for the Plan and the Plan itself have been shaped by the results of the previous public consultation to ensure that the Neighbourhood Plan accurately reflects the aspirations of the community. Sustainability Appraisal 4. Early in the process the Steering Group commissioned URS (now AECOM) to undertake a Sustainability Appraisal (incorporating a Strategic Environmental Assessment) for the Neighbourhood Plan. SA is a mechanism for considering and communicating the impacts of an emerging plan, and potential alternatives in terms of key sustainability issues. The aim of SA is to inform and influence the plan-making process with a view to avoiding and mitigating negative impacts. Through this approach, the SA for the Neighbourhood Plan seeks to maximise the Neighbourhood Plan’s contribution to sustainable development. A Scoping Report for the SA was released for consultation in October 2014. 5.

  • Introduction
    03 Atkins Transport modeling note Technical Note Project: Chippenham Urban Expansion HIF Subject: M4 Junction 17 Author: Reg 13(1) Reviewed by: Reg 13(1) Date: 12/02/2019 Approved by: Reg 13(1) Version: 1.0 Introduction 1.1. Introduction Wiltshire Council are preparing a funding bid to be submitted to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) through the Housing Infrastructure Fund (HIF). The bid seeks to fund a distributor road to the east of Chippenham, from Lackham roundabout of the A350 south west of the town to the A4 London Road, and from the A4 London Road to Parsonage Way in the north. The objective of the distributor road is to aid the delivery of the homes and employment proposals of the Chippenham Urban Expansion. Without the distributor road, the level of development would cause unacceptable levels of delay through Chippenham town centre. However, the proposed growth will also lead to increases in congestion and delay at other points on the highway network, and to resolve these issues Wiltshire Council has proposed a number of mitigation schemes. The mitigation schemes are proposed to be funded by existing CIL and strategic funds where necessary in the short term (by 2024, the opening year of the distributor road) or through expected CIL returns from the proposed development where schemes are required in the longer term. A mitigation scheme was considered necessary at M4 J17, to the north of Chippenham as initial testing of traffic growth suggested that by 2041 the junction would operate significantly over capacity. A meeting between Wiltshire Council’s Chippenham Urban Expansion development team, Homes England and Highways England was held on the 30th January 2019.

  • Ancient Market Towns and Beautiful Villages
    Ancient Market Towns and Beautiful Villages Wiltshire is blessed with a fantastic variety of historic market towns and stunning picturesque villages, each one with something to offer. Here are a sample of Wiltshire’s beautiful market towns and villages. Amesbury Nestling within a loop of the River Avon alongside the A303, just 1½ miles from Stonehenge, historic Amesbury is a destination not to be missed. With recent evidence of a large settlement from 8820BC and a breath-taking Mesolithic collection, Amesbury History Centre will amaze visitors with its story of the town where history began. Bradford on Avon The unspoilt market town of Bradford on Avon offers a mix of delightful shops, restaurants, hotels and bed and breakfasts lining the narrow streets, not to mention a weekly market on Thursdays (8am-4pm). Still a natural focus at the centre of the town, the ancient bridge retains two of its 13th century arches and offers a fabulous view of the hillside above the town - dotted with the old weavers' cottages – and the river bank flanked by 19th century former cloth mills. Calne Calne evolved during the 18th and 19th centuries with the wool industry. Blending the old with the new, much of the original Calne is located along the River Marden where some of the historic buildings still remain. There is also the recently restored Castlefields Park with nature trails and cycle path easily accessible from the town centre. Castle Combe Set within the stunning Wiltshire Cotswolds, Castle Combe is a classically quaint English village. Often referred to as the ‘prettiest village in England’, it has even been featured regularly on the big screen – most recently in Hollywood blockbuster ‘The Wolfman’ and Stephen Spielberg’s ‘War Horse’.

  • Bremhill Parish Neighbourhood Plan Strategic Environmental Assessment
    Bremhill Parish Neighbourhood Plan Strategic Environmental Assessment FINAL DRAFT - June 2016 PLANNING THE FUTURE OF THE PARISH 2016 - 2030 Wiltshire Council Strategic Environmental Assessment - Screening determination for the Bremhill Neighbourhood Plan December 2015 Contents 1. Introduction 2. Legislative requirements 3. The Bremhill Neighbourhood Plan 4. SEA Screening assessment 5. SEA Screening decision 2 1. Introduction 1.1. This document provides a screening determination of the need to carry out a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) of the Bremhill Neighbourhood Plan. 1.2. Wiltshire Council, as the ‘Responsible Authority’1 under the SEA Regulations2, is responsible for undertaking this screening process of the Bremhill Neighbourhood Plan. It will determine if the plan is likely to have significant environmental effects, and hence whether SEA is required. 1.3. This process has been carried out in accordance with the requirements of European Directive 2001/42/EC3, often known as the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Directive, which has been transposed into English law by the SEA Regulations. 2. Legislative requirements 2.1. The Localism Act 2011 requires neighbourhood plans to comply with EU legislation. The screening procedure outlined in this report meets the requirements of the SEA Directive and Regulations, as introduced in Section 1 of this document. 2.2. Regulation 5 of the SEA Regulations requires an environmental assessment of plans which: 1. Are prepared for agriculture, forestry, fisheries, energy, industry, transport, waste management, water management, telecommunications, tourism, town and country planning or land use (Regulation 5, para. (2)(a), and which set the framework for future development consent of projects listed in Annex I or II to Council Directive 85/337/EEC (EIA Directive) on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment (Regulation 5, para.

  • Bremhill Draft (April 2021).Pdf
    [Draft text by Dr Louise Ryland-Epton, completed April 2021 apart from the first section and minor checking to be undertaken when restrictions are lifted] BREMHILL LANDSCAPE, SETTLEMENT AND BUILDINGS [not yet completed] LANDOWNERSHIP Before the Reformation the manors of Bremhill, Foxham and Spirthill were in possession of the monks of Malmesbury abbey. The adjacent manor of Stanley belonged to the Cistercian order of Stanley abbey. At the dissolution of the monasteries, these estates were acquired by Sir Edward Bayntun. From the 16th to the 20th century, they were primarily held by non- resident lords. In the 20th century, these estates were sold off as separate farms and small holdings. Bremhill Manor King Athelstan gifted an estate at Bremhill to Malmesbury abbey c.935.1 However, the authenticity of the charter has been questioned.2 A confirmation of the abbey’s land and privileges by Edward in 1065 is also disputed.3 In 1086 the manor of Bremhill was held by the monks of Malmesbury abbey. It paid geld for 38 hides.4 The estate was surrendered to the crown in 1539 and acquired by Sir Edward Bayntun of Bromham (will pr. 1545), vice- chamberlain to five wives of Henry VIII, the following year.5 Sir Edward Bayntun was succeeded by his son, Andrew (d.1564).6 Andrew briefly lost control of his estates, after which financial difficulties led him to entail them to his brother, Edward (d.1593). However, the financial mismanagement continued, and on Andrew’s death in 1564, his brother was involved in a court action to secure the inheritance.

  • Favourite Walks Circular 6 Mile Walk, Mainly Through Bowood Estate This
    Favourite walks Circular 6 mile walk, mainly through Bowood Estate This walk just about allows you to stay within the boundaries of Calne Without but stretches your legs and includes some lovely countryside, especially on the path through Bowood. It is just over 6 miles (nearly 7 if you start from the Lansdowne Arms. 1a Start at the Black Dog Inn/Gurkha Baynjan Restaurant on the A4 (now a fine Nepalese restaurant but still with a public bar), where there is ample car parking and an opportunity for a pre-walk coffee or a post-walk pint, or, for locals, start from your own home. 1b It is also possible, and perhaps more appropriate given the amount of Lansdowne land covered, to start from the Lansdowne Arms in Derry Hill but that does make the walk three- quarters of a mile longer. If starting from the Lansdowne Arms, head east down Church St until, just after Christ Church, you head down Old Road on your right and follow that until reaching the Black Dog Inn/Gurkha Baynjan Restaurant and then follow the instructions from 2. 2 Head east downhill towards Calne on the footpath alongside the A4 for just over half a mile/ 1km. This is the unpleasant part of the walk as the lorries and cars rush past but it is downhill and doesn’t last too long. This is Black Dog Hill, which glories in numerous explanations for its name; I prefer the tale that it was named after a frighteningly large black dog that helped herd (or, on one version, terrorised) the pigs brought from Ireland which overnighted by the River Marden before continuing their journey to London, or were deemed too weak to complete the journey and were thus slaughtered and supplied to the bacon and pie workers of Calne.

  • Calne Town Council Full Council 17/06/2019 River Marden
    Calne Town Council Full Council 17/06/2019 River Marden modelling by Bristol Avon Rivers Trust Report of the Head of Operations 1. Purpose of the report The purpose of this report is to update members as resolved at the Full Council meeting of 8/4/2019. It is requested that members support the initiative presented to Full Council on 8th April 2019 by Bristol Avon Rivers Trust (BART), a charitable foundation. It should be noted that the River Marden is not the responsibility of Calne Town Council. The river, however, plays a major environmental and community part in the design of the town centre and is enjoyed by local people and visitors alike. 2. Background The River Marden is the only chalk stream to feed into the River Avon, therefore its’ health is of major importance. As members will be aware, BART has been active within the Calne area of the River Marden for some time, working closely with Castlefields Canal & River Park Association. (CARP) and Calne Town Council. BART exists and helps to protect and improve rivers in many ways including: • Re-naturalising riverside and in-channel habitat to increase diversity and numbers of fish, flora and wildlife. • Collaborating in or managing agricultural land management projects for river water quality and habitat benefits. • Bringing people together who have a common interest in a healthy functioning river system. • Identifying funding sources and matching them to known local needs. • Providing education to help people better understand and protect their rivers BART has been involved in riverfly studies, installation of flow diverters and tree planting on the Marden to name but a few of their efforts.
