Redrow is challenging Wiltshire Council's five-year housing land supply after the authority turned down a planning application. The housing giant wanted to build 100 properties near Blind Lane in Southwick but the council rejected the plan, saying the development was too big for the area and would have taken up open countryside. A spokesman said: "We are disappointed that this application has been rejected. Campaigners fear if the challenge is successful they will have little say over future developments.

The housing giant wanted to build 100 properties near Blind Lane in Southwick but the council rejected the plan, saying the development was too big for the area and would have taken up open countryside. Redrow is now trying to get planning permission through the Planning Inspectorate, challenging the validity of the local authority's five-year housing land supply, arguing homes are not being built fast enough. Campaigners fear if the challenge is successful they will have little say over future developments.
