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 habitat mitigation details.

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 high-handedly and rudely broken it.   Wiltshire Council last did this with the link to the Planning Inquiry. The link to the Planning Application may be restored after further complaining to Wiltshire Council.   And by the way, control of the planning information, inclusive of the official transcripts of the 'independent' inquiry, now seems to be in the hands of Highways Improvements.   Now no link to the bypass planning application.

It was a mega amount of information, which really needed several months to download and 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.

This is very wrong.  Those who previously objected to the route would object to the gantries also.

Wiltshire (County) Council acted unfairly by not drawing attention to the change for the worse.

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