A village campaign group and parish council have criticised a land developer s latest attempts to build 50 homes.
Homeowners in Congresbury s Wrington Lane have faced numerous schemes by land agents Gladman and construction firm Bovis Homes to build on a field off the lane.
Plans to build 50 houses were thwarted by the foresight of former North Somerset councillor Tom Leimdorfer when outline planning permission was granted in 2016, subject to a continuous footway being provided along the lane before construction could begin.
Over the years, Gladman has tried to get round this condition but has failed because the lane in several places is too narrow to allow a proper pavement alongside the carriageway.
