flag Wiltshire’s housing plan rejected as unfit; council must revise or face formal rejection by March 2026.

flag A government inspection has declared Wiltshire’s proposed 37,000-home plan “not fit for purpose,” requiring the council to restart its draft Local Plan 2020-2038. flag Inspectors cited insufficient land for housing and affordable homes, reliance on uncertain development sites—especially a new settlement north of Salisbury—and weak links between housing targets and actual need. flag The council must decide by mid-March 2026 whether to withdraw the plan or risk a formal “do not adopt” finding, which could harm its credibility and lead to more speculative developments and successful appeals. flag Leaders expressed disappointment but reaffirmed their commitment to a balanced, viable strategy.
