News that an Inspector – John Slater – has been appointed to examine the Semington Neighbourhood Plan.  He started on Monday 30th September.  Whilst this is mostly a desk study, he will be coming to the parish for an unaccompanied visit.  John is an experienced inspector who has considerable local knowledge having examined the Seend Neighbourhood Plan.

John Slater has over 42 years’ experience as a planning practitioner, primarily working in local government, which included 8 years as a Head of Planning at a large unitary authority on the south coast, but latterly as an independent planning consultant and director of John Slater Planning Ltd, his neighbourhood planning consultancy.  He is a Chartered Town Planner and a member of the Royal Town Planning Institute.  He is independent of Wiltshire Council and Semington Parish Council and has no interest in any land that is affected by the Neighbourhood Plan.
