Councillor Parks Gets The Message – Many Local Objections To A Premises Licence For Thoulstone Park

Saturday 29th July 2023

Councillor Bill Parks, Warminster North And Rural, writes:

A busy time this week when I attended Upton Scudamore and Chapmanslade Parish Council meetings to listen to the many local objections to the recent application for a Premises Licence for Thoulstone Park, near Warminster.

I was also pleased to meet with the residents in Short Street, nearby, who are most likely to be affected. As their local Wiltshire Councillor, it is important that I listen and represent the people.

The public consultation date has now passed, and I understand that the license is to be determined by the Licensing Committee at County Hall on the August 15th, which I will attend.

Let’s hope that sense prevails and that a clearer understanding of event numbers, type and hours of operation reach a sensible compromise which satisfies the genuine worries of noise disturbance to the nearby communities.

The messages given were all loud and clear!

Feedback received so far has been collated and is being reviewed. We have also been looking at the results of the Chapmanslade Village Questionnaire to understand the outcomes and whether some of these may be incorporated in the proposals.”

The company are hopeful for a complex including accommodation, dining, and business space to be built on the site and are welcoming the public to share their views and ideas.

Although plans are in the early stages, discussions have been held with both Chapmanslade and Upton Scudamore Parish councils as well as Wiltshire Council.
