CONTROVERSIAL plans for a five-bedroom house in the grounds of a listed Broadway building have been approved - despite opposition from neighbours.
Wychavon district councillors voted in favour of the development in the garden of Farnham House, Church Street, at a committee meeting last Thursday.
But the application is subject to the entire curtilage of the site remaining in the ownership of the new house, with no breaches of the boundary wall.
The plans had prompted objections from residents concerned about the size of the proposed property and the impact on surrounding buildings. But the application had received the backing of Broadway Parish Council and English Heritage.
Commenting in a letter to the committee, the applicants' planning agent John Bradley Associates, said: "Great care and consideration has been given to the siting of the proposed dwelling."
