A development of 1,700 homes has been approved by the government, despite concerns over its environmental impact.
Land owners had submitted plans to create the Selwood Garden Community on the edge of Frome, Somerset, including a primary school, sports facilities and two care homes.
Residents had raised concerns about the potential impact on the environment and pressure on local services. However, the applicant said the project would provide much-needed infrastructure and jobs.
The government has now approved the plans after a public inquiry.
