Greatworth Property Managers Ltd, which wants to build the homes at Lydiard Millicent, has appealed to the Planning Inspectorate. He said that should council officers be minded to grant the application, he would 'call in' the application to be debated by the relevant council planning committee. However, planning officers concluded that these measures did not outweigh broader planning and policy objections. The council’s planning report stated that the development would "conflict with (parts of the) Lydiard Millicent Neighbourhood Plan, which should be given substantial weight in the planning balance." The application attracted 130 objections from members of the public and formal opposition from Lydiard Millicent Parish Council.
