Plans for 250 homes in Glinton refused by Peterborough council
Plans for a major housing development in a village have been refused by a council after it received 137 City Council received an application in April last year from Gladman Developments for 250 new homes to be built in planning documents, which were refused on 19 May, described the development as a "sensitively designed and high-quality neighbourhood".Bob Randall, the vice-chairman of Glinton Parish Council, told the Local Democracy Reporting Service: "Adding an extra 250 homes and the traffic that involves would have been quite a burden on the village." The plans, which included a children's play area and public open space, said the development was "sensitively designed".A total of 137 residents and parties objected to the plans, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Boyce and Peter Hiller, Glinton ward councillors from the Peterborough First group, were among the people who objected against the proposal. Randall said: "There are not really sufficient spaces in the junior school or Arthur Mellows [Village College] to accommodate that addition within the village. "You'd end up with children having to go to schools some distance away."He said people were concerned after plans for a further 355 homes, which were part of the council's draft Local Plan, were still under consultation. "That's 355 houses that are being proposed and there's no way Glinton can anywhere near cope with a 50% increase in the size of the village," he added. City council planners refused the application from Gladman Developments, noting that the proposal did not fall into any of the categories under the current Local Plan.

Up to 270 new homes approved after appeal
A plan for up to 270 new homes has been approved on appeal after a council turned them down. Gladman Developments applied to build the homes on land east of Halterworth Lane in Romsey, Hampshire, last year but had its bid rejected by Test Valley Borough Council. The developer appealed to the Planning Inspectorate and its bid was approved on Thursday. Planning inspector Zoe Raygen said although the development will lead to some "adverse impacts", they will "not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits" of the new housing. She also found it was unable to show that it has a five-year housing land supply, which meant the inspector could use a "tilted balance" in favour of development. Authorities should be able to show they have a deliverable supply of new homes for at least five years under the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). The council's current supply is 2.7 years. The application also includes land for the potential future expansion of Halterworth Primary School, also in Halterworth Lane.
