"The application: WD/2025/0376/MAJ is now lives on the WDC llPlanning site. It has a hybrid order attached as well so if one gets approved, they all get approved.
"Applicants Hesmonds Stud is also applying to have an Order S106 lift ed on all stud land which covers 700 acrfes extending as far as Davis Town, Easons Green and Halland. If the developer and agent Parker Dann are successful this means all the land will be open for building and thus destroying the entire area, including woodlands and habitat that cannot be replaced."
