The developer wants to demolish farm buildings at Maxcroft Farm, Marsh Road and build up to 180 new homes. Hilperton Parish Council, Holt Parish Council, and Staverton Parish Council have all objected to the proposals. Hilperton Parish Council adds that the site is too far away from schools and the railway station, and that residents "would rather drive than use sustainable transport." "The site has a serious flood issue with water flowing into houses on Marsh Road," it adds. Hilperton's representative at Wiltshire Council, Ernie Clark, has also objected to the plans.
