Pip Ridout, the Wiltshire councillor for Warminster West A MASTERPLAN that will see 1,000 new homes built on the edge of Warminster has been approved, five years after it was first suggested and despite a surge of objections from locals. Persimmon Homes Ltd and Hannick Homes & Developments Ltd have won permission to build the homes on what is called the West Warminster Urban Extension, on land north of Victoria Road and to the west of Bath Road. Back in 2016, Wiltshire Council considered applications for 1,403 homes for the West Warminster Urban Expansion. Around 900 homes are likely to be delivered during the Wiltshire Core Strategy plan period to 2026, with the remainder being delivered in phases between 2026-2036.

TRIBUTES have been paid to a former Warminster mayor and Wiltshire councillor who has resigned after serving the town for nearly 26 years. Paul Batchelor decided to resigned his roles earlier this month. He is currently in Sardinia after deciding to stay there when Covid-19 travel restrictions were introduced. Mr Batchelor said: I have decided that this is the time to hang up my council robe as I explore other opportunities that life is offering me. At their full council meeting on Monday, Warminster Town Council members paid tribute to Mr Batchelor saying he had been an “excellent” councillor and representative of the town.
