A PLAN to build 140 houses in Westbury has been put on hold by the developers.

Taylor Wimpey submitted the application for the housing estate on land near The Ham two years ago but this month withdrew it to reconsider their plans.

The scheme has drawn objections from nearby residents and a Facebook group called Stop Glenmore Farm Development.

A spokesman from Taylor Wimpey said: “We have maintained an active dialogue with Wiltshire Council to seek to overcome some concerns they have regarding our proposed development at Glenmore Farm.

“We have taken the decision to withdraw our application whilst we reconsider the land’s potential to deliver much-needed homes in Wiltshire in a way that meets the council’s aspirations.”
