Persimmon Homes has submitted plans for phase three of its Ashton Park development, proposing 360 homes south-east of Trowbridge.

Persimmon Homes has submitted a planning application for phase three of the Ashton Park development, one of Wiltshire's largest allocated development sites. The application, brought forward on 19 October, seeks approval of reserved matters covering the layout, scale, appearance and landscaping of a residential parcel that would deliver 360 homes on land to the south-east of Trowbridge.

Construction has been underway at Ashton Park for months, with Persimmon continuing to submit detailed planning applications for each phase of the overall 2,500-home scheme through Wiltshire Council. The broader outline scheme includes 13.6 hectares of employment land, two primary schools, a site for a secondary school, two local centres, an ecological visitor facility, sports pitches, play areas, a country park and extensive open space.

The development is designed to include the Yarnbrook and West Ashton Relief Road, intended to improve traffic flow around Trowbridge and the A350 corridor. The current application is under consultation, with comments being accepted until 20 November.
