You now have a month to have your say

Author: Jack DeeryPublished 4th Feb 2021

A planning application has been submitted for 135 homes to be built in Laverstock.

Company Hallam Land Management have submitted the idea to Wiltshire Council, which will see the properties built on land to the east of Church Road.

Included in the development will be:

  • 81 Market Housing units
  • 34 Social, Affordable or Intermediate Rent units
  • 10 Affordable Home Ownership units
  • 10 Starter Home units

They will also create a car park with up to 50 spaces, with up to 230 jobs being created by this development.

There is a row of trees and bushes next to the build, and the planning application states that none will be removed:

"No significant tree loss will be required to facilitate the proposed development by virtue of the physical positions around the boundaries. The proposed built element of the development is to be located centrally to the site within the field parcels which are devoid of tree cover.

The existing trees and hedgerows situated around the field boundaries are to be retained and formed into landscape buffer strips and green corridors for the open space provision of the development, which will also serve the purpose of providing partially filtered views between the site and wider landscape."
