Welcome
On this website you can find out about how the Joint Melksham Neighbourhood Plan is already making a positive difference, and about how to get involved in keeping our plan as strong as possible.​
“We worked hard to get a Neighbourhood Plan that local people voted to bring into legal force. Since then it's been updated with a bold Plan that goes beyond minimum requirements, with the aim of getting the best possible outcomes from development for our communities as well as providing a legacy for future generations from a plan-led regeneration of brownfield sites.”

​JMNP2 - Referendum 31st July 2025
Working together with the community, Melksham Town and Melksham Without Parish Councils have updated the Joint Melksham Neighbourhood Plan (JMNP) to look ahead to 2038.
The updated plan builds upon the first edition of the JMNP. The second edition addresses the community’s prioritised and updated issues including regenerating the Cooper Tires site and supporting town centre businesses, delivering more affordable housing choice, protecting our countryside and local green spaces, and stepping towards a zero carbon Melksham.
