David “Dai” Wilson has lived in Bishopstone since 2012. He is a Partner in Eastbrook Farm Partnership, which farms around 1800 acres of land around the village.
Thanks Gary for sharing this with the Bishopstone and Hinton Parva community. This enormous (150 acre) proposed industrial development in the open countryside Area of Non-Coalescence, which is intended and planned to maintain a separation between Swindon and its eastern villages, would be highly visible to many residents in our parish, and potentially audible too. Deadline for comments is very soon - 7th July - please take a look at the proposals and submit your comments to SBC as soon as possible.
