ROYAL Wootton Bassett Town Council voted against an application to build a Tesco at Marsh Farm in a meeting of the planning committee last night.
Dozens of residents turned out for the meeting at the Civic Centre in Station Road to hear the committee discuss the plans for a 2,800 square metre supermarket, 320 new homes, a community hub of up to 500 square metres and a senior living development of 33 units alongside public open spaces on a site to the west of the Marsh Farm Hotel.
The committee unanimously voted against the plans, and their decision will be sent as an advisory statement to Wiltshire Council to consider in their decision whether or not to approve the plans.
Residents have until September 30 to make their own comments on the application, which can be viewed by visiting www.wiltshire.gov.uk/planninganddevelopment.htm and searching for application number 14/08060/OUT.
