Developers win appeal for up to 106 dwellings in Charfield

Developers have won their appeal against the council's refusal of permission for a new development at Charfield. They will now be able to build up to 106 homes on land south of Wotton Road.

Charfield ward councillor John O'Neill said, "Like many local people, I am very disappointed by this decision. The Parish Council has been very responsible in its attitude to development. This was not a case of “nimbyism”, it was a Parish working to the strategy set out in the Core Strategy, which was endorsed by a Government Inspector only a few months ago. It appears from this decision that the commitment to Localism has been abandoned by the new Government."
