The future of Devizes Wharf
Posted by Philippa Morgan on 11 September 2017
People are being invited to a series of events to talk about the future of Devizes Wharf and the possible development opportunities.
Following detailed assessment of the site, and as part of ongoing work, Wiltshire Council are keen to get local feedback on options for the site.
A series of drop in events are taking place from next week on the following dates, and all are welcome to attend:
• 12 September 9am to 4pm Wharf Theatre
• 14 September 9am to 3pm Devizes Market
• 18 September 5pm to 6:30pm Prior to the Devizes Area Board at the Devizes Community Hub
As a key site in the local area, WC are keen for any possible development plan to be clear and managed carefully ensuring it is aligned to the local planning policies including the Wiltshire Local Plan (Core Strategy) and the Devizes Neighbourhood Plan.
Wiltshire Council cabinet member for economic regeneration, Chuck Berry "This area has real potential and it's important that we take a detailed look at all the options to help determine what will make it viable for the long-term.
" We want people to drop into these sessions to find out what we're considering but to also let us know what they'd like to see happen. A positive dialogue with those who know the area inside out will be really beneficial to our planning."
