Plans for new road and six homes refused
The council said the proposed development was outside of the village boundary

Proposals for six detached homes and a new road access have been refused.
Dorset Council said the plot was outside of the Charlton Marshall village boundary in open countryside, where new building was not usually allowed.
The council was also critical of a lack of a surface water drainage plan which takes climate change into account, and claimed the location was dangerous.
The site owners said the 0.45 hectare site had, until now, been used as a paddock.
The site is adjacent to 362 Bournemouth Road - A350, where previous applications had also been turned down, primarily over the access proposals on to the main road.
Parish councillors said the access on to the A350 was dangerous, and criticised the fact pedestrians would have to cross the busy road to get into the village.
Six homes were proposed for the site
The planning application suggested providing enough room for 12 parking spaces for the two, three-bed and four, four-bed homes, with changes to the mix of houses from an earlier application and alterations to the initial suggestions for the site access.
Three earlier proposals had been considered for the site.
The first option included the entire site of 362 Bournemouth Road, including the existing property which was to be demolished and the whole site redeveloped with up to 20 new dwellings.
The second and third options retained the existing dwelling and proposed only to develop the paddock which adjoins the residential property with up to 11 dwellings in both options.
The latest application also retained the existing large, detached home, with fewer homes proposed than previously.
