LVA are promoting a 3-acre site on the edge of the village of Worton in Wiltshire. The site is adjacent to the settlement boundary and provides a logical growth point for new homes in the village.
 
An outline application was submitted to the Council in August 2017 (Ref. 17/01905/OUT). The application process was successfully able to satisfy all the technical site requirements such as highways, drainage, flood risk and ecology etc. with no significant issues raised. The application was refused based on the principle of development being contrary to adopted planning policy.
 
LVA continue to promote the site through the emerging Neighbourhood Plan process, which will allocate sites for housing. The site represents as excellent opportunity for the Neighbourhood Plan and LVA to work together to provide the village with much needed housing.
