CITY councillors have again rejected a scheme for the back garden of a Winchester home.

Applicant Simon Machola asked Winchester City Council if he could put a three-bedroom house at the rear of ‘Warren Acres’ in Harestock Road.

Members of the authority’s planning sub-committee agreed with planning officers and rejected the plans.

A report on the application said it should be thrown out because it had a “cramped layout” and represented an “over-development” of the site.

Littleton and Harestock Parish Council objected to the scheme, as did eight other nearby residents.

In 2009 planners refused a similar scheme, this time for a three- and one-bedroom home.
