The current proposal is not just to build a canal between Semington and the river Avon (as implied here), but to enable this by building houses, a pub, a huge camp ground, leisure facilities, an eco-farm, and a school ? and a marina. In other words, the proposal is to develop (that is, fill in) the gap between Semington and Melksham. As it stands, what is set out in this proposal is mis-leading.
