New House Building in Salisbury
LATEST INFORMATION
Halt Harnham Housebuilding Newsletter May 2025
There is much concern regarding the proposals by Wiltshire Council for building hundreds of houses in Salisbury.  In particular, new houses in Harnham, on the Netherhamton Road and off the Downton Road will result in traffic from these developments entering Salisbury via the Harnham Gyratory Roundabout and the Exeter Street Roundabout.  These are already choked with traffic at peak times, and tailbacks, transit times and air pollution will all increase.
 Naturally many local residents object to this increase in housing and associated traffic.  Further Government plans to build 1.5 million more houses could further impact on Salisbury.  If you want to learn more information, please click on the links below.

Beech Tree Solar Farm
An appeal has been made to the Planning Inspectorate in respect of Beech Tree Solar Farm.
​The original planning application can be seen here.   A copy of the appeal letter may be seen here.

Comments to the Planning Inspectorate should be received by 27 March 2025.​

The Old Chalk Pit site.
Latest Update  25/01/2025
This application is being appealed by the applicant.
Click here to see the appeal letter.


​An Application for Permission to Develop has been received from the former applicants by Wiltshire Council for the Chalk Pit Site. There are NO DETAILS of what might be then applied for.
From previous applications and comments from parishioners, it is clear that villagers do not want this site to be developed. The application is inaccurate as only the flat part of the original site was used as a Highways Depot Storage for road chippings, and has now council houses on it.  The rear half, the actual chalk pit, reverted to woodland and was sold by Wiltshire Council as woodland. It was subsequently cut down by the applicants and has largely regrown.

Will there ever be an end to this proposal ? ?
