Gleeson Land achieved a planning approval via committee, for up to 140 homes on land adjacent to the built-up area of Templecombe. The proposal includes new vehicular access, public open space, landscaping, surface water attenuation, and supporting infrastructure. Well-connected to local amenities via Bowden Road and Coombe Hill, the site offers strong pedestrian and cycle links. The development represents a sustainable and integrated extension to the village, responding sensitively to local character and planning constraints. It will deliver a mix of market and affordable housing to meet identified local demand, including options for starter homes and families. The design process was shaped through consultation with the Local Planning Authority, Parish Council, and the community.

The site was the second phase of development at Malmesbury. Following the earlier success an outline application was submitted in 2016 for up to 71 dwellings, to help Wiltshire Council address a shortfall in their housing land supply. The application was refused and appealed, however the Council’s housing land supply recovered before the appeal could be heard and as such it was withdrawn. The Council’s housing land supply was monitored and an opportunity to re-submit the application was identified in 2019 when the supply fell again.The application was approved by the Planning Committee in September 2020 and then sold to Bloor Homes in December 2020.

The planning approval at Froxmere Road, Crowle presents a highly sustainable new development comprising up to 65 dwellings, along with new areas of open space designed to benefit both existing and future residents. The proposal is considered a sustainable and deliverable solution that contributes meaningfully to meeting the identified housing requirements for the area. High-quality development will be achieved through the creation of a walkable residential community with a strong sense of place, supported by attractive pedestrian and cycle routes that encourage active travel. The development will be well-connected, legible, and easily navigable, ensuring inclusive access for all. A robust landscape structure will be established, responding sensitively to the character of the local area while enhancing the immediate environment. The layout and design will promote the core objectives of sustainable development, ensuring longterm benefits for the community and the wider area.

Blackmore Farm, Melksham, received unanimous approval at planning committee, with the Section 106 agreement finalised in record time. Promoted primarily for residential use, the land was successfully included as part of a proposed wider allocation in the emerging Wiltshire Local Plan.
The development will deliver up to 500 homes, with 40% designated as affordable housing. It also includes land for a two-form entry primary school, supported by a £2.8 million financial contribution. The scheme incorporates up to 5,000 square metres of employment space, a mixed use hub, and extensive formal and informal open space. Significant investment in sustainable transport will enhance walking and cycling routes locally and towards the town centre. Contributions include £750,000 towards bus service improvements and £8,500 for accessibility upgrades at Melksham railway station. A further £513,000 will support NHS healthcare provision, ensuring lasting benefits for the community. Following the planning committee success, the land was marketed and sold to Barratt / Redrow through a competitive tender process.

An outline planning application was submitted for 500 residential dwellings along with land for a two-form entry primary school and community building. Land for a bridleway link was also included between Hassocks and Burgess Hill. 
Improvements to the pedestrian access across the railway line were required which meant discussions with network rail took place early on in the planning application process. The masterplan also considered the location for the primary school and local centre taking into account the surrounding land uses. It was approved on 16th March 2020.

Travel behaviour in Hedge End was typically centred around car use. The area had higher car use percentage than the UK average. As part of our planning application, provision was made for bus and cycle only pathways as well as strategic footpaths to promote sustainable transport and ease pressure on local roads. The planning application was granted at Appeal for a new sustainable neighbourhood, comprising of 680 residential units and a two-form entry primary school. The application included space for small scale retail or a community and healthcare area, it also provided open space and sports provision for the wider community. The site was then sold to two national housebuilders.
