Agenda item

Mr Condon, FMW Consultancy, on behalf of Mr Harris - To consider a request for brown tourist signage at Holt Manor estate.

Sean McIntyre, Key Transport Consultants, on behalf of Mr Harris, owner of Holt Manor gave a presentation which sought to highlight why a request for brown tourist signage at Holt Manor estate was justified.

Mr McIntyre advised that he had taken on the consultancy for Holt manor after the FMW Consultancy had withdrawn as they felt that they had a conflict of interest.

Representatives of Holt Parish Council were given the opportunity to explain to the Area Board why they opposed the brown signage around Holt manor. A petition of residents’ objections had reached 165 signatories

Decision

• That the Bradford on Avon Area Board supports Holt Parish Council in its opposition to the brown signs and bollards which had been sited by the owners of Holt Manor, and requests that officers of Wiltshire Council instruct the owners of Holt Manor to remove the misleading signage and illegal bollards as soon as possible and if necessary take all reasonable measures required to do so.

The Chairman thanked Mr McIntyre and representatives of Holt Parish Council for attending the Area Board.
