In January, the developers were refused permission for four four bedroom homes on the land as planning officers were concerned regarding noise- due to its proximity to Peterborough Tyre and Battery Shop as well as the fact that the development was outside of the defined village envelope.
The new application states: “The proposal addresses identified local and national housing requirements and would help support the services and facilities provided within the local area.
"The development would provide sustainable dwellings on the edge of Newborough.

“Each dwelling has generous private amenity space which creates a high standard of living for residents. Adequate parking provision is also provided (16 spaces).”
