TWO into one won't go say Marlborough town councillors when it comes to trying to get two homes built on one small plot.

On Monday the town council planning committee agreed to object to plans by Mark Lovelace Ltd for two houses on land adjacent to 1 Stonebridge Close.

Coun Peter Cossey said the proposal for two homes on the site was "a classic case of over development".

Coun Jackson said the site was very small and crowded.

Planning chairman David Parker thought the area where the buildings were proposed was originally planned as a green space at the entrance to the close.

Coun Parker added: "You would need a shoehorn to get them in."

The committee agreed to object to the two homes on the grounds of over development and because councillors felt they would spoil the visual entrance to the close.
