OUTLINE plans for three new homes in Kings Worthy have been approved by civic chiefs.

Millen Homes Ltd applied for permission considering access and layout for one single-storey three-bedroom home and two four-bedroom dwellings at Woodstock in Mortimer Close.

Kings Worthy and Headbourne Worthy parish councils objected, and seven other objection letters were received.

Concerns raised included width of the road and accommodating on-street parking, noise nuisance and traffic congestion.

The proposal went before the city council’s planning committee on May 28 and permission was granted.
