Planning in Keevil

Keevil Parish Council is a statutory consultee of Wiltshire Council (the Planning Authority) on all planning applications within the parish. Any views expressed by the Parish Council will be taken into account by the Planning Authority before a decision is made, providing the points made are relevant to the determination of that planning application. The Parish Council has no powers to approve or reject, the decision is made by the Planning Authority.

In September 2022, Keevil Parish Council adopted a Planning Policy based on the core principles of the Village Design Statement (2003) and the majority outcomes of the Village Survey (2019). The Policy is reviewed annually in May.

Planning Meetings

Planning applications are considered at the normal bi-monthly council meetings unless the deadline for comment falls between meetings, in which case an additional meeting will be convened and noted on the Meetings page.

You can search for planning applications on Wiltshire Council’s website – which now includes the weekly lists of new applications and decisions.

You can find full details of all full planning applications in Keevil going back to 2018 on the village website.

The Wiltshire Local Plan

Local Plan consultation opens September 27th

 The consultation for the Wiltshire Local Plan begins on Wednesday 27 September 2023. It sets out the vision and framework for housing, infrastructure and land for employment growth in Wiltshire for the next 15 years. Once adopted, all planning applications will be determined against the plan, making it the most important place-shaping document for Wiltshire.
 
Wiltshire Council are holding drop-in events at libraries and leisure centres around Wiltshire and a live webinar-style event online. You can just turn up to the in person events, but you will need to register beforehand for the online event.
