SAVE THE MEADOWS

  • recipient: Wiltshire Council

Wiltshire Council are still considering various sites, including SAL2 (our site) for housing. The Council have extended their consultation period because they are also now looking at ‘larger villages’ (originally excluded from the initial consultation).
SAL2 is still being considered for housing. The threat has not gone away...................
In due course, we expect another consultation round and will keep you posted on this although those of you who commented last time around should be automatically notified.
Planning application
However, irrespective of this formal consideration of the site by Wiltshire Council in Trowbridge, it is our understanding that Longford Estate and St Nicholas’ Hospital Trustees intend to submit a planning application this summer for building housing on the site.
As soon as we know that an application has been submitted, we will be ‘calling you to arms’ as there will be a relatively short public consultation period during which we will need to make our concerns known. We will be suggesting what you need to do at that stage but please be aware that you need to be ready to act and that we might want to consider some form of visible protest (ie a publicised walk?) to get our message clearly across in addition to the standard approach of registering written objections with the planning officer/councillors. We will advise you further in due course.
In the meantime....................
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make posters and put them up wherever you can (along New Bridge Road in particular). Please do not leave this to others as we all have jobs, families and limited resources. We need to share this load.
Continue to write to The Journal; post here on our Facebook page (and encourage others to) and generally spread the word!
Thank you - together we can Save the Meadows!
