Roughmoor Lane Proposals – Update June 2025
The Church Commissioners have revised their proposals for the Roughmoor Lane development in the light of comments received. The changes appear slight, are not easily identified, and, disappointingly, fail to respond to almost all the very substantial issues raised by individuals and the parish council. The one small exception concerns the A371 where it is proposed that the developers should seek a reduction in the speed limit through the village to 20mph. While this would be a small step towards recognising the danger posed by traffic, neither the developers, nor the planners, can insist that this happens.
It is open to villagers to comment on the revised plans which can be viewed using the same reference number on the planning portal 2025/0137/out.
To assist, the NPWG has posted details of all correspondence with planners and Highways on this matter on the website at https://westburysubmendip-pc.gov.uk/roughmoor-lane-developments/roughmoor-lane-proposals-2023/
