To justify disregarding original objections, Wiltshire County Council replaced its 2005 planning application with another, in March 2007, for basically the same eastern route.   But, people had to write in again.

We were told that this was due to additional wildlife mitigation details (though they were barely shown).

Here is a link to Wiltshire Council's big pile of documents, the 2007 Westbury Bypass Planning Application.

Apologies, but this link is now not working, because Wiltshire Council (where everybody matters, WC says) has just abandoned the bypass planning website.   Wiltshire Council previously broke the link to the Inquiry.

The plannning application was a mega amount of information, which needed several months to read through, which is why Wiltshire County Council allowed us only three weeks to take it all in and write our comments.

Wilthire Council's presentation suggests that the revised planning application was about changes of detail.

It is what we had thought, from the summary, until we discovered the obscure drawings of the gantries.

They are big and ugly.  But only briefly mentioned in the text and not illustrated in the overall summary.

The gantries are not shown on the general sections.   They are only on hard-to-find detail drawings.

All who had previously objected to the route would obviously have an objection to the gantries.

Wiltshire Council's since-failed eastern bypass was fundamentally a road in the wrong area.

Our Council acted further unfairly by not making its intended addition of gantries obvious.
