I was pleased to note that your article encouraging readers to submit their views on the Wiltshire and Swindon Structure Plan Review 2016 Pre-deposit Consultation Draft.
However, I was less impressed to see the statement that "future development will be centred around the town in areas such as Cricklade, Purton, the Lydiards and Wootton Bassett". This statement is inaccurate.
Issue 3.3 of the Consultation Paper asks "Do you think that the future development of the Swindon Principal Urban Area should take the form of an urban extension that adjoins the existing built up area of Swindon (eg land east of the A419) or settlement expansion at the settlements of Purton and Lydiards, Wootton Bassett or Wroughton?"
