This was due to the publication of the NPPF / NPPG so soon after submission of the WCS to the Secretary of State. The commitment to a partial review of the WCS was provided through the publication of a revised Local Development Scheme. The outcome of this partial review will be to provide a single consistent and comprehensive planning document with which to assess planning applications in Wiltshire. 1.2 This paper has been prepared to inform the scope of the partial review and summarises the assessment of the existing local plan saved policies, and proposes a series of recommendations for further work in terms of policy development where it is assessed that policies maybe missing, need replacing or further work is required to draw a conclusion. The intention of this paper is solely to focus on the scope of the partial review and the issues that could be addressed.

Place-names and landmarks on Anglo-Saxon charter bounds provide evidence for an intricate network of roads and tracks before the Norman Conquest, and the variety of terms used reflects the existence of different types of thoroughfare. The road pattern was never static, but in a continual state of evolution. The priorities of routes have always been liable to change, reflecting the fluctuating economic fortunes of the places they served. Their courses were often altered by large-scale planned diversions during the middle ages, particularly into medieval new towns (the main road between Oxford and Aylesbury was diverted to pass through the new market-place at Thame in 1219) and around the margins of new parks.

  • North Wiltshire Local Plan 2011
    North Wiltshire Local Plan 2011 8. TRANSPORT TOPIC AREA 8.1 The movement of people and goods is key to the vitality of North Wiltshire. Transport needs, however, must be balanced against their impact on the environment of the District s towns, villages and countryside. Careful planning, by shaping the pattern, scale and location of development, can influence transport choices in sustainable ways. 8.2 To this end and in line with Government Guidance the transport objectives of the Local Plan are to: Promote more sustainable transport choices for both people and moving freight. Promote accessibility to jobs, shopping, leisure facilities and services by public transport, walking and cycling. Reduce the need to travel especially by the car. T1 MINIMISING THE NEED TO TRAVEL New development should be designed and located to minimise the need to travel whilst being accessible by cycling, walking and public transport. Housing developments should be accessible to jobs, education, health facilities, shopping, leisure and local services. Proposals will be permitted provided they meet these sustainable transport requirements. 8.3 To demonstrate their transport sustainability new developments will be required to produce Transport Assessments and Travel Plans (Policy T2) to the satisfaction of North Wiltshire District Council, Wiltshire County Council and the Highways Agency. Reducing parking through maximum parking standards, discounted to take into account accessibility will also be required (Policy T3). Full provision and priority access for cyclists, pedestrians and public transport users will be required along with measures to improve road safety and enhance the environment (Policy T4). T2 TRANSPORT ASSESSMENT & TRAVEL PLANS Transport Assessments are required to identify the impact of a development on the transport network and Travel Plans are required to set out sustainable forms of travel to and from a development.
