From 2014 to 2016 a group a of local residents worked to assess the planning, development and social priorities of Wanborough Parish.
The Wanborough Neighbourhood Plan team operated its own website. After the plan was issued to the parish in 2016, the team wound down. Their website has now been closed and all the content and documents have been archived in these pages.

Wanborough Neighbourhood Plan
8th March 2016
Dear Parishioner,
This document is the proposed Neighbourhood Plan for the parish of Wanborough and will guide our future developments to 2026. In addition to this document we have made a Strategic Environment Assessment which you can find, together with this plan on our web site, under headline NP Plan.
We would really appreciate if you could read the documents and send us your feedback by email to wanboroughpc@btinternet.com (a soft copy of the comment form can be found on the website) or hand in your comments to Post Office.
We need to know what you think and even if you think everything is fine, please respond and say so!
The Plan has been put together by a team of parish councillors and people from Wanborough parish. The plan is based on two surveys, two Open forums and we are looking for your final feedback.
Once we have received your feedback, we will update the Neighbourhood Plan and send it in to Swindon Borough Council. They will enlist an independent inspector who will work with us until the document is correct. Once SBC have approved the document, there will be a referendum and the plan will come in force if the parishioners vote yes to the Plan.
There will be one Drop in event on 23 March 2016 at Hoopers Field between 6pm and 9pm where you can get information and ask the team questions.
The consultation period will run from 14th March 2016 to 25th April 2016.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Through the Localism Act, which became an Act of Parliament on 15th November 2011, the government is giving local communities more power to influence the future of the places in which they live by preparing neighbourhood plans.
