Ridgeway Farm Proposal GOES TO APPEAL!

 

The application has now been appealed on grounds of non-determination and will be decided by the Secretary of State, Eric Pickles. It will also be considered by the strategic committee of Wiltshire Council the 15th Feb where the Council will determine its recommendation had it been in a position to determine the application. The recommendation at this stage by WCC is likely to be for a refusal on policy and highways grounds including road design. The Secretary of State will review the proposal together with all the objections and make a decision. It is not clear whether this is good or bad news. The positive view is that if WCC had formally rejected the application, the developer would have gone to appeal anyway, so this has short circuited that part of the process.

 More information on the SRA position on these proposals and an explanation of all the “farms” development applications, can be found on our “Issues and Positions” page
