Lydiard Millicent is a small village and parish in the far North-East corner of Wiltshire, it is administered by Wiltshire Council, but is close to the western edge of the Borough of Swindon. At the end of 2024 our Parish had 710 dwellings across the village of Lydiard Millicent, the hamlets and areas of Common Platt, Greatfield, Greenhill, Holborn, Lydiard Green, and part of Nine Elms and Washpool.
We are working on the next version of our Neighbourhood Plan which provides a vision through to 2040 as follows:
“Lydiard Millicent has remained a busy and vibrant community with a wide range of facilities. Development has been well-designed and contributed positively to the visual character of the local surrounding heritage. The gap between the Borough of Swindon and the village of Lydiard Millicent has remained and design standards of new buildings reflect the rural character of the village. Development will be limited and sustainable, driven by the needs of the residents to meet local needs. The special environmental assets of the parish have been preserved and the community has benefitted from access to and enjoyment of the countryside.”
