A planning bid to replace a “substandard” house with a new property has been given the green light.

Amanda Markwick of Moores Cottage, Worton applied to Wiltshire Council to construct a new house to replace the current and substandard one.

The former house on the land has already been demolished which was approved by a previous application.

Supporting the plans, resident Nick Matthews said: “I am pleased to see a more considered design for the site, the proposal has more articulation and addresses many of my concerns.

“I would suggest the top east facing windows are obscured.

“Otherwise I am happy to support this application which is a significant improvement on the previous proposal.”
