Application to extend coach park.....an update...

Unfortunately, the councillors, at the Southern Area Planning meeting on 9th April 2015 voted 7 to 3 for this application to go ahead.    We will report more of what our thoughts are on this decision in due course......watch this space.....a conflict of interests - maybe???


It now appears our information was incorrect about the withdrawal, and the application has actually been amended....the area applied for, has not changed but the staff car parking has been taken out of the new drawings, which can be viewed on Wiltshire Council's web site using the same application number of 14/12106/FUL or just take a look below.   This is to extend the coach park by 26 places each 15mtrs x 4mtrs and the drawing shows a "new turning circle".   Anyone with a basic grasp of maths, will be able to use a ruler and measure the turning circle from the drawing and it will show even the most experienced coach driver will never in a month of Sundays......be able to negotiate around it and each bus would have to be fitted with rear wheel steering!!!
Now, we would like to know what EH are up to with regard to getting their staff park and will this mean that 14/12107/FUL - the car park application which completes tomorrow - 5th March, will also be amended......keep watching this space!   Planning meeting 26th March 8 to 2 against the extension to the car park!   EH will appeal.
ALSO......
I put it to you, that if we, and I mean.....Mr or Mrs Ordinary, wanted to amend a Planning Application.....we'd probably be told words to the effect of...."on yer bike mate"!!
