New Works, which would cover 99 acres, was also rejected by the council's planning committee as well as a planning inspector, before being overruled by a government minister. “The decisions to allow these farms to go ahead are against the view of our communities, our planning officers and the planning committee. Even the Government’s own planning inspector refused the application for New Works Farm, only for this to be overturned by a government minister.
