Ernie Clark. Hilperton Division, Wiltshire Council.

Amongst interesting decisions made last week were ....
Firstly, the Cereal Partners application for a distribution centre off the new Semington by-pass was approved. This will see approx. fifty new jobs created; jobs which West Wilts badly needs in my opinion.

Secondly, the first planning application for affordable housing under the Private Finance Initiative was refused. At first glance the site (in Melksham) looked suitable, but closer inspection showed the WWDC case to be fatally flawed.
