Status

- A planning application is expected Autumn\Winter 2026
- ‘Consultation’ site can be found here
The Proposal
- 1300 new houses proposed across 117 hectares/289 acres.
- The site sits on both sides of the A361
The Problem
- 289 acres of greenfield agricultural land gone forever
- The green gap between Staverton and Hilperton effectively erased.
- The scheme creates a new settlement, fundamentally altering the rural character of the area.
- Major impacts on wildlife.
- Potentially 2600 more car journeys on the busy Devizes road.
