Exeter City Council has approved two controversial housing developments that were widely opposed because of prospective traffic impacts.
350 dwellings at St Bridget horticulture nursery on Old Rydon Lane and 182 dwellings at Aldens Farm West, part of the predominantly greenfield 90 hectare South West Exeter extension of 2,500 new homes that stretches from Alphington to the M5, were both approved at last night’s council planning committee meeting.
