Wiltshire Council has granted planning permission for 90 new homes in Calne developed by Allison Homes South West.

Wiltshire Council's Northern Area Planning Committee has approved a 90-home development in Calne off Spitfire Road by housebuilder Allison Homes South West. The site received outline approval in February 2025. The scheme was initially deferred by councillors in August 2026 despite a recommendation for approval from council officers. Following minor adjustments, the committee approved the proposals on 14 October.

The development will include a mix of affordable housing and two, three and four-bedroom homes. It will also feature a play area, green open space and landscaping. According to Allison Homes South West, the development aims to address local housing need at a time when around 3,800 people are on the housing register in Wiltshire.

Andy Cattermole, planning director for Allison Homes South West, said: 'We're delighted to have secured planning permission for this high-quality scheme. The new homes will help meet local housing need while providing green space, sustainable design and investment in local infrastructure.' The company has confirmed that delivery of the estate will now begin.
