Developers have said plans for new homes at a former school in Thorpe St Andrew would result in fewer vehicle movements compared with in the past.
During the meeting, civil engineer John Mulhaire said the proposals for 175 homes for the Langley South site would result in an estimated 80 vehicles during the peak period.

Mr Mulhaire continued: When it was a school it generated in excess of 200 per hour so this will be reduced compared to the historical use of the site.
