Yes as the Town Clerk rightly said the Wilton Town Council is concerned with regards with any suggestion that Wiltshire Council should build on the Sheep Fair Field .
Wilton Sheep Fair is one of the Charter Fairs granted by Royal Charter in 1433 so if Wiltshire Council did want to build houses there, they would have to find another site within Wilton for the Sheep Fair. To find another site to accommodate the present fairs would I think be virtually impossible to find.
