Solstice Park II
Wiltshire Council is considering a proposal that would nearly double the size of Solstice Park, adding another 157 acres of land for “Big Box” development.
We can stop this
We do not need this development.
The planning case against
- Greenfield site not included in Wiltshire’s Local Plan for development
- Risks setting a dangerous precedent for rezoning agricultural land not in the plan
- Plenty of nearby capacity already allocated for similar development
- Surplus to employment need. In January 2021, Wiltshire council announced: “No further employment land is required in Amesbury given the existing provision in and around the area”
- Very little local consultation
- Increased traffic and pollution on routes already at 100% capacity
- Increased light pollution in a rural landscape
- Destroying and threatening the habitats of wild animals and plants already disturbed by Solstice Park.
- Could lead to more houses.
