Have your say and respond to the consultation on the draft updated Calne Community Neighbourhood Plan.

​This is part of our Regulation 14 consultation that is running between 𝟏𝐬𝐭 𝐅𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 - 𝟐𝟐𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒

Your concerns and comments will help improve and finalise a Plan that gives our community a proactive and strong voice in the planning and development and protection of the town, villages, and natural environments of the Calne Community Plan Area.

We also look to formalise the recognition of local historic assets and to ensure that we keep the 25% of Community Infrastructure Levy planning charge rather, which will drop to 15% without a Neighbourhood Plan.

Place names of Calne: Brunel Way

Brunel Way, named for the giant of Victorian engineering, is a GreenSquare development of 34 affordable homes, comprising of 4 one bedroom appartments along with 29 two, three, and four bedroom houses[1].

Brunel was suggested as the name for this street as it is off Stanier Road. Sir William Stainer, was born in Swindon, where his father worked for the GWR[2], which was engineered by Isambard Kingdom Brunel - thereby making the connection between the two street names.


The GWR branch line to Calne was required because Brunel's choice of route missed Calne on the way to Chippenham. More than half of the funds required to build the railway came from the Harris family, who needed it to transport good from their factory.

The Calne branch saw its last passenger train on 18 September 1965 (freight traffic had ceased in 1964) and was dismantled two years later.

In addition to his visionary work on the GRW,  Brunel is known for many other projects, which include the Clifton Suspension Bridge and three shops, Great Western, Great Britain and the iron sailing steamship, SS Great Eastern[3].
