Input with regard to Asda planning application
« on: January 14, 2008, 07:19:12 AM »

Have a look at this ... I'll be submitting it tomorrow to the District Council. Please let me know of any obvious goofs.

In summary ... it would be wonderful to have Asda, but NOT with the currently proposed access which is NOT oriented towards public transport, cycle or pedestrian (in fact it tries to buy them off as cheaply as possible) and would have considerable negative effects on an already congested road.  Also there's a roadside walkway that looks dangerous when it would be so easy to keep the pededtarians and cycles very well away from the trunk A350.

My objection - and suggested alternatives that would allow he store to go ahead and be a real asset:

I have been asked where people can see more of the application / make inputs.   West Wiltshire District Council Offices, Bradley Road, Trowbridge (sorry - no copy actaully in Melksham as far as I know!) or via

http://planning.westwiltshire.gov.uk/publicaccess/

for very limited data.

Inputs can be made via that web site; the palnning application reference is:
