Village Design
Statement VDS
http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/planninganddevelopment/planningpolicy/villagedesignstatements.htm
A VDS is not
statutory, but is used to influence the planning system by ensuring
that new developments are harmonious with the village landscape. It
is not used to allocate potential sites or uses. A VDS would include
all forms and scale of development in order to manage change in the
village, offering creative involvement to parishioners, a recognised
voice in the planning process, a means of empowering the PC and of
reducing conflict. A VDS should be carried out by a group of
villagers rather than PC-led. WC would liaise and assist the process
and the Area Board could be approached for any necessary financial
aid. Examples can be viewed on the WC website. Tytherington and
Knook could be included or could be the subjects of individual
statements.
