THE latest in a series of plans for farm developments on the edge of Malvern has been thrown out by Malvern Hills District Council.
Farmer John Bullock, of Mill Farm, Guarlford Road, applied to construct a series of farm buildings off Mill Lane, not far from the town sewage works.
A previous scheme for a farm complex on a site near the Green Dragon pub, Guarlford Road, was refused permission in August following opposition which included over 500 letters of objection.
The current plan drew more than 330 letters of objection and 11 of support.
At a meeting of the southern area planning sub-committee on Monday, officers recommended refusal, saying the proposal would be "unduly prominent in the landscape", vehicles would disturb nearby residents and it could increase flood risk around Guarlford Road.
Despite a letter from Mr Bullock's agent requesting deferral, members voted to refuse planning permission.
