1,000 new homes near Newbury which inspired Watership Down faces major opposition

A PLANNING inquiry is to be held into plans for 1,000 new homes on farmland which inspired Watership Down amid major opposition - including from its author before his death. Developers have been trying to build on Sandleford Park near Newbury since it was allocated for development in 2012 with five failed applications so far. In the iconic novel, rabbits flee Sandleford Warren, which is about to be destroyed by bulldozers. And in a real-life echo of the fictional children s classic, protesters have been fighting development and said protected habitats and ancient woodlands would be at risk if it was allowed to go ahead.
