Plans to build new detached houses in a rural village are turned down by councillors
PublishedPlans to build five detached houses in a rural village have been blocked by councillors.
Developers A R Cartwright and D Walker had applied to construct the homes on land off Chapel Lane in Witherley, close to the Leicestershire-Warwickshire border. However Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council's planning committee rejected the plans, saying they would "result in unsustainable and unjustified ribbon development" in the countryside.
Witherley Parish Council had also objected to the plans, citing concerns about extra traffic on Chapel Lane and potential harm to the village's rural character.said one of the applicants who spoke at the meeting said she was "genuinely at a loss as to why this site is being recommended to be refused".
She was subsequently invited to work with planning officers "to come up with something that's agreeable to everyone".
