Plans to build between four and nine new homes on land near the M4 have been rejected.

The applicants sought permission from Wiltshire Council to build the houses on half a hectare of land - formerly used as an equestrian yard - near Brakenhill Mews at Upper Seagry, near Chippenham.

The terrace of houses would have been constructed on the eastern side of Seagry Road, north of where it crosses the M4.

The planning application was opposed by Seagry Parish Council, which said the development was not well connected to village amenities or public transport routes, and not well related to any settlement.

Wiltshire Council's own highways team also objected.

The application was refused.
