akaerial 300 200Following an Independent Examination and a positive referendum result, Wiltshire Council has decided on 31 May 2017 pursuant to section 38A(4) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, to 'make' the Ashton Keynes Neighbourhood Plan (the 'Plan').

The Ashton Keynes Neighbourhood Plan now forms part of the Development Plan and its policies will be given full weight when assessing planning applications that affect land covered by the Plan.

Community Policing is a new policing model introduced across Wiltshire Police in 2016, it has replaced the previous model of separate teams such as Neighbourhood Policing and Response, to bring together all officers, civilian staff and Special Constables in an area to work as one Community Policing Team.

How to contact your local team:

  • If your call is an emergency please dial 999.
  • If you need to report a non-urgent crime/incident/anti-social behaviour, request an update on an investigation or make a complaint then please dial 101.
  • To contact your CPT about a community-related matter, such as a school visit, then please email

The purpose of the Emergency Planning Working Group is to advise the Parish Council on potential emergency situations and the advisory and response procedures available from Wiltshire Council and its partner organisations. Information for the community on how best to react to an emergency is available from the Parish Council Website in conjunction with other Council and National organisation sources.

By definition an emergency is an unexpected event which causes severe disruption. As such it may not be practical to have a detailed local emergency plan for every potential emergency situation and the response will be initiated by the County or National authorities.

However, certain types of emergencies may be predictable based on the locale and geography of the area. For the village of Ashton Keynes it could be assumed that extreme periods of heavy rain could cause a flooding emergency given the high water table in the region.

The Environment Agency publishes a useful risk assessment of flooding on their website. A link to the website showing the Ashton Keynes area is here.

The Planning Committee meets every two weeks on a Monday evening at 7.30pm. Members of the public can attend if they wish.

It is the only Sub-Committee of the Parish Council with delegated powers to respond to Wiltshire Council on behalf of the Parish Council. Its powers are restricted to comment on planning applications for less than two houses, applications for two or more houses and all applications concerned with the gravel industry are dealt with by the full Parish Council.

Wiltshire Council sends planning applications to the Parish Council 'for any observations you may wish to make'  and usually allows 10 to 14 days to respond.

Wiltshire Council are the planning authority who make planning decisions, and individual officers are delegated to determine planning applications by the planning committee. To have an application determined by committee it must be 'called in' by a Wiltshire Councillor.

The members of the committee are

  • Margaret Cooper
  • Ernie Tidmarsh
  • Dave Wingrove
  • Alex Tindall
