Search the Public Notice PortalPlans for over 100 new homes in Cricklade are going ahead despite opposition from Wiltshire Council.
An application for planning permission was submitted by Newland Homes in March 2022, proposing a development to build up to 140 homes on land at Stones Farm on West Mill Lane.
It was turned down two years later by Wiltshire Council, after they had received 49 letters of objection to the original application.
Residents expressed concerns over the potential loss of agricultural land and overdevelopment of the site.
Cricklade Town Council had also objected the plans due to “access, overdevelopment, recreational impact on North Meadow, and inadequate infrastructure provision such as foul water drainage."
The town council has now announced that the planning inspectorate has allowed the appeal by Newland Homes for the construction of 140 homes.
A spokesperson said: "Today we learned that the Planning Inspectorate have allowed the appeal by Newland Homes for outline consent for the construction of 140 dwellings on their Stones Lane site. CTC and others, had objected to the scheme in written representations and at the hearing on 3rd December in Chippenham.
"Whilst the appeal decision is obviously disappointing, we will be in dialogue with the developer as the detailed plans are drawn up to ensure that the development is the best it can be for the new residents and, just as importantly, for the current residents in that vicinity."
