Wiltshire's screen-tourism hopes and planning pipeline come into view together

Wiltshire is the shared backdrop for a reported 'The Gentlemen' tourism boost, new planning applications, and a town blueprint.

BBC News reported that locations in Gloucestershire and Wiltshire were used in Guy Ritchie's series The Gentlemen, which could bring a tourism boost to the West [1][2][4]. The Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard also listed planning applications submitted to Wiltshire Council that include a farm shop, café and new homes [3], while the Wiltshire Times said people in a Wiltshire town are being invited to help shape a new planning blueprint [5]. The reports do not link the tourism boost to those planning matters, but read together they show Wiltshire facing both potential screen-tourism interest and decisions on housing and commercial development.
