A wall put up at a housing development without permission can stay, but religious worship in a warehouse on an industrial estate has been refused in planning applications and decisions.

South Marston: Jerry Gonsalves who runs the company Flavour Junction has applied to be able to operate a hot food takeaway van in a layby just north of the Hondas Roundabout on Highworth Road, surrounded by industrial buildings.

The plan is to operate from 11am to 11pm selling g burgers, fish & chips, wraps and curry along with hot and cold drinks.

Tadpole Garden Village: Two residents in Leasowes in the north Swindon expansion have put in separate applications to be able to change the tiles on the roof from metal to ceramic tiles.

The applications concern number 23 and 32 Leasowes, with the former proposal including the removal of the chimney stack.

Cheney Manor: The loss of industrial and business premises and possible issues with parking and traffic congestion seem to have scuppered the use of a warehouse unit in Cheney manor Industrial Estate as a place of worship.

Mrs A Ibitoye had put in an application to use Unit 5 in Enterprise House for religious services.

But borough council planners have refused permission, saying the proposal fails to demonstrate that it would not harm the key employment site. The planners added that a lack of detail on parking and access arrangements did not give assurance that there would not be issues at times of service.

Bishopstone: Farmers JD Wright and Sons who run Gore Lane Farm in Russley Park want permission to build a new pit for slurry and dirty water.

They will use it to irrigate crops – using an umbilical system which their application says cuts down on the need for tractor movements and also significantly reduces the odours of muck spreading.

Highworth: Coventry Building Society, which occupies number 39 High Street in the hilltop town has asked for permission to repair the frontage. The company wants to repair the gutters, fascia and cladding on the Grade II-listed building and and double glazing to the windows of the first-floor flat.

Shaw: Ionity, a company which provides electric vehicle charging stations has applied for permission to put six charging bays in the car park of the Village Hotel in Shaw Ridge Leisure Park.

Stratton St Margaret: A wall put up without planning permission around eight flats built in four blocks can stay.

Developer Yogi Abhee built the flats, arranged in four two-apartment houses, at the end of Oxford Road, and facing onto the footpath where the road ends.

The enclosing wall was not part of the original planning permission granted in 2017, and in order to build the wall a screening hedge, which should have been kept, was removed.

Now planners have approved retention of the wall and the planting of a new hedge to provide screening on the outside of the site.

Mr Abhee’s plan had originally been ‘called in’ to be heard by the planning committee by former Councillor Russell Holland, but sitting councillors Matt Vallender and Tom Butcher said they were happy for officers to make a decision.

Extensions: Applications have been submitted to put up extensions to houses at 70 Vistula Crescent, Haydon End; 21 Walcot Road, Old Walcot; Lynt Farm, Lynt Farm Lane, Inglesham and 16 Winton Road, Upper Stratton.

Such applications have been approved for: 5 Mallow Close, Haydon Wick; 9 Burford Avenue, Old Walcot; 27 Bryanston Way, Nythe; 24 Tismeads Crescent, Old Town; 18 Stadium View, St Andrews; 39 Thornhill Drive, St Andrews; 16 Cambrai Road, Chiseldon; 7 Old Bakery Road, Wroughton; 38 Shrivenham Road, Central; 25 Islay Crescent, Highworth; 8 Radcot Close, Shaw; 25 Goddard Avenue, Old Town; 24 Stadium View, St Andrews; 9 Severn Avenue, Haydon Wick; 156 Frobisher Drive, Walcot.
