Festival Proceeds Despite Planning Refusal
20 Jun
Summary
- Music festival set to proceed next weekend in Melksham.
- Wiltshire Council refused planning permission on June 17.
- Organizers appealed, allowing the event to continue.
The Wiltshire Throwback Festival (WTF) is slated to proceed next weekend, specifically on June 26 and 27, at Oakfield Stadium in Melksham. This event will feature artists such as Professor Green, Liberty X, and Amelle.
Earlier in May, events company Jarboom submitted a planning application to double the festival's capacity and introduce an additional smaller stage. Wiltshire Council denied this application on June 17, stating that the submitted plans were insufficient for assessing the impact on local residents and wildlife.
Despite the refusal, festival organizers have lodged an appeal against the council's decision. This appeal reportedly allows the Wiltshire Throwback Festival to continue as scheduled.
