Consultation process
A pre-consultation (November 2014) was undertaken via email, which included consultation of Local Members (including Councillor Oldrieve and Councillor Clark), Town and Parish Councils, Public Transport, Police and other interested parties.
Full consultation commenced on 27 March 2015 and ran for the statutory three weeks until 20 April 2015. This was extended an additional week with closure on 27 April 2015. The consultation was available to view via site notices, in the local papers (including the Wiltshire Times) and on the Wiltshire Council Website.
At this time all parties to the pre-consultation were re-consulted (see Appendix 1).
Towards the end of the consultation period a letter was sent to local residents by Councillor Oldrieve (see Appendix 3). Due to timescale, the recipients would have been unable to access the relevant documents via the website due to them having been removed at close of formal consultation. The majority of the responses to this letter were received after the end of the consultation period (20 April 2015). It was decided to accept those received up to and including 27 April 2015. A further 22 objections were received after 27 April 2015, these objections will not be considered under the report but they mirror the objections raised by those under consideration.
