As follows: -
Following on from extensive research of the Parish Council files covering a number of years,
The Clerk concluded that there are many unanswered and unresolved items pertaining to this site.
The Clerk warned members to consider carefully before proceeding in the light of previous decisions and actions by Wiltshire Council and the number of new Parish Council members. The Clerk’s recommendation is to invite Wiltshire Cllr. H Prickett to provide from Wiltshire Council more up to date information concerning where they are with this matter and account for their actions.
It was also noted that The Neighbour Plan could be at risk for the village if answers to members concerns are not answered with a detailed and comprehensive chronological overview of decisions. This detail must be provided to set the record straight for the benefit of the applicants and other residents.
