A VISION for the future of a village has been taken on board by West Wiltshire District Council.

A village design statement for Hilperton, funded by the parish council, and written by a group of residents following widespread consultation, has been adopted by the district council as supplementary planning guidance.

Cllr Michael Mounde, district council planning portfolio holder, praised Hilperton for producing an informative and interesting document.

The document will provide potential developers with guidance on design matters.
