Rowde’s Site Selection

For the Devizes Area Neighbourhood Plan

took place on Wednesday 23rd April 2025, 6.00pm,

 A neighbourhood plan can provide the following benefits to a local community:  a) Allocate sites for development you want to secure in your area  b) Include policies to influence/guide development as it comes forward, for example through design matters and housing composition c) Protect key local assets – community facilities, heritage assets, important views, local green spaces and more d) Secure contributions to new and improved facilities, green infrastructure and active travel e) Receive a higher level of CIL or new Infrastructure Levy contributions accruing to the Parish (25% rather than 15%).

Rowde joined the Devizes Area Neighbourhood Plan Group in 2020.

It is your time to have your say about which sites should go forward for development. Please consult the map below and complete your selections on the spreadsheet.
