Statement regarding proposed development by Redrow Homes at St. Andrews Road, Warminster.
Warminster Town Council has recently been receiving an increasing number of enquiries from residents regarding the proposed development at St. Andrews Road, Warminster. The Council was first advised of the proposals on 7th January 2014 when Redrow Homes issued an invitation to a public consultation event at Warminster Rugby Club on 23rd January 2014, at which they presented their ideas and plans. All Warminster residents were welcome to attend the consultation, which ran from 3.00 p.m. until 7.30 p.m.
As yet, no firm planning application has been submitted to Wiltshire Council, who publish all planning applications on their website. Once the plans have been put forward, Wiltshire Council will send them to Warminster Town Council for comment. They will be discussed at a future Planning Advisory Committee meeting of the Town Council which will be open to the public and will give residents an opportunity to put forward their concerns. Until the plans are received it is not possible for the Council to give the date at which they will be discussed and unfortunately there is no further information available. The Council can only advise residents that Planning Advisory Committee meetings are held every three weeks with the agendas being published on the Town Council’s noticeboards and website one week before the meetings, so residents should keep checking to find out when the plans have been received.
It is also very likely that this application will attract publicity from the local press. If residents wish to contact the Council with any comments or concerns they are welcome to do so. The Town Clerk has collated all the letters and emails that have been received so far and has passed copies on to the councillors for information so that they are aware of the objections being raised. This information will be passed on to Wiltshire Council once the plans are debated to support any comments made.
