Plans for 90 homes in the open countryside on the edge of Chipping Sodbury have been granted permission despite dozens of objections.
Councillors approved Cotswold Homes’ application for the two-storey buildings, including 32 affordable homes, on three fields west of Trinity Lane with conditions including almost £600,000 for primary and nursery education, new pedestrian crossings and money for library books.
Sodbury Town Council, Chipping Sodbury Town Trust and 57 residents objected, as well as South Gloucestershire Council’s public rights of way officer because a rural footpath would have to be diverted across roads, although walkers could continue through public open space in the development.
