Wiltshire Council Refuse Development

Wiltshire council have refused permission for the housing development proposed by Gladman Ltd on land off the Melksham Road.  The key reasons for the refusal may be found in the Decision Notice.  The notice also states the following  “As the proposal is in clear conflict with the policies of the up to date development plan,
for the reasons set out above the applicant is advised that the Council believes that any appeal against this decision would have no reasonable prospect of succeeding.  Accordingly, the applicant is advised that if an appeal is submitted the Council will be making an application for a full award of its costs incurred in dealing with the appeal, based on substantive grounds.”  Detailed examination of the application is given in the Planning Officer’s Report.
