COUNTY: A consultation was launched yesterday on proposed modifications to a plan which sets out how Wiltshire will grow and develop over the coming years.

Last summer the Wiltshire Core Strategy, which has been developed with communities over the last five years, was scrutinised at public hearing sessions as part of its examination by an independent government inspector.

As a result, the council and the Inspector have put forward modifications to some aspects of the plan and local people, businesses and organisations are being asked to comment on the proposed modifications and other matters, full details of which are available to view at www.wiltshire.gov.uk/wiltshirecorestrategyexamination. The consultation runs until Tuesday May 27.
