The North Wessex Downs AONB is the largest in southern England, and stretches from Devizes to Reading, and from Swindon to Basingstoke.

  • Wiltshire Housing Land Supply Statement 2018
    Housing Land Supply Statement Base date: April 2018 Published: August 2019 Housing Land Supply Statement Base Date: April 2018 Published: August 2019 2 1.0 Policy Context - why is a land supply assessment required? 1.1 This Housing Land Supply Statement has been prepared using a base date of April 2018 and covers each Housing Market Area (HMA) in Wiltshire, as set out in the Wiltshire Core Strategy (adopted January 2015). It represents a snapshot at the date of publication and is produced annually as required by the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and accompanying Planning Practice Guidance (PPG). This statement accords to the requirements and definitions of the NPPF and PPG as summarised below. Figure 1: The HMAs in Wiltshire1 1 Any development immediately adjacent to the urban area of Swindon but within Wiltshire’s administrative boundaries is not considered to contribute to the housing requirements of the North and West HMA. See paragraph 4.34 of the Wiltshire Core Strategy for clarification. 3 1.2 Within the latest NPPF (published February 2019), the Government has reaffirmed its approach to the delivery of sustainable development. With regard to housing provision, paragraph 73 states that: “Strategic policies should include a trajectory illustrating the expected rate of housing delivery over the plan period, and all plans should consider whether it is appropriate to set out the anticipated rate of development for specific sites. Local planning authorities should identify and update annually a supply of specific deliverable sites sufficient to provide a minimum of five years’ worth of housing against their housing requirement set out in adopted strategic policies36, or against their local housing need where the strategic policies are more than five years old37.

Barbara Elaine Harrington PhD June 2016 1 ABSTRACT Walking, landscape and visual culture: how walkers engage with and conceive of the landscapes in which they walk. Walking in the countryside is an increasingly popular pursuit in Britain. Much previous research within the social sciences has tended to concentrate on the physiological benefits, barriers or facilitators to walking. This thesis explores particular walkers’ complex motivations for and modes of walking, their individual engagements with certain types of (northern) landscapes and the significance of specific kinds of visual images, traditions and wider practices of looking.
