Wiltshire (County) Council's map of land owners on the eastern bypass route:

And here is the accompanying WCC eastern route land ownership schedule.

Here also is a link to the Westbury bypass planning application [on pdf] - with Wiltshire County Council's eastern route land ownership schedule and drawing. After the covering letter and the application for permission to develop land form (by which WCC's planning application simply passed between WCC departments, just that, under the control of the same WCC Director of Environmental Services) you can see the schedule of land owners on pages 5 to 8, the drawing on page 9. This is all together in a 3MB file, so it is only suitable for broadband connections.

The info is also on the W(C)C planning web-site for the eastern bypass scheme.

Francis Shephard of Madbrook Farm,  T Painter of Blenches Mill Farm,  S Painter of Glenmore Farm and Mrs Brittain of Coach Road have objected to the scheme, on the basis of the detriment to their property and with further concern about the damaging effects on the landscape, wildlife and water of the overall area.

Mrs Jones of Fair View Farm was a supporter of the eastern bypass scheme.

As was Mrs Jones' son Dorian Jones of the 'Westbury Bypass NOW!' campaign.

Jones family land on the eastern route was area 3 on the WC map & schedule.

Fair View Farm, on map area 5, sold to Lafarge, has now been sold again.

Area 3 on the route through the Wellhead Valley was still Jones land.

Area 13 on the route was owned by developers Robert Hitchins.

Recent news was that Jones family land was now being sold.
