100s of residents directly impacted by plans to build 100s of houses on sites 8&9 of the #Salisbury local plan were not informed by letter or email, missing the chance to voice concerns early in the process #haltharnhamhousebuilding #reg18 #planning #communityjustice #wiltshirecouncil #poorplanning

100s of new houses on this green field land = urban sprawl in Salisbury. The city cannot cope. There is a severe lack of infrastructure & transport provisions to absorb such expansion, with devastating, irreversible environmental & heritage consequences. Why not choose brownfield sites?

These are the proposed sites for hundreds of new houses in Salisbury, on valuable agricultural and greenfield land. We question the rejection of brownfield land. #wiltshirecouncil #poorplanning #notogreenfield #brownfield #sustainablility #transportplanning

Cllr Richard Clewer suggests Lime Down solar farm application is rejected for reasons including the site being "best & versatile farmland which you’re not supposed to use for solar or anything other than farming”

Site 8 - the same type of land - that Wiltshire Council proposes 100s of new houses.

Between 2024-5 Wiltshire Council has released dozens more local plan documents, not consulted on, a further example of lack of transparency throughout the process. Qs remain as to why valuable agricultural green fields are favoured over the sustainable development of brownfield sites in Salisbury

If we concrete over farmland, over green fields instead of brownfields, for new housing, where will our food come from? Why destroy green spaces just to shift the damage elsewhere?

Wiltshire Council's plans to build on greenfield land in Salisbury are only aligned with nature destruction. Protect nature first. #haltharnhamhousebuilding
England is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world ⚠

Stop building on green fields! This precious land provides breeding & feeding habitats for skylarks, falcons, owls, bats, mammals & invertebrates. Protect nature. #haltharnhamhousebuilding #wiltshire #conservation @batconservation.bsky.social @wiltsbatgroup.bsky.social @chrisgpackham.bsky.social

Salisbury deserves better: 2,800+ objections, yet Wiltshire Council is ignoring the community’s voice. Help us challenge this unsustainable, uneconomic housing plan! #HaltHarnhamHousebuilding #Salisbury #naturalengland #saveourcountryside

URGENT: Salisbury’s future is at risk. The proposed housebuilding plan threatens our roads, environment, and community services. We need your help to halt this reckless development. #HaltHarnhamHousebuilding #Salisbury #wiltshire #greenfield

Wiltshire Council is pursuing lucrative new housing plans on #greenfield land in Harnham, sites 8 & 9, without proper consultation of residents. Plans are under review with the inspectorate & we welcome any support to protect our city & nature #wiltshire #salisbury
