IT seems there has been no coverage of the new plan to develop 65 dwellings on land adjacent to Quakers Walk (see 16/05341/OUT). The previous application for 123 houses on this site and an adjacent one was called in earlier this year and is due to be heard in October.

However, the agents for the Merchant Venturers have submitted a plan for 65 houses on about half of the land, which seems to me a way of getting the whole site approved via the back door!

As yet, there has been no comment from Devizes Town Council nor Roundway Parish Council, yet the responses are due by Thursday. There has been nothing in your paper about this, despite good coverage of the original application.
