## Resource

David Wilson Homes’ plan to build 180 homes on 50.1 acres in Great Glen hit a roadblock when local councillors voted 7-1 against it, citing crippling traffic concerns — especially with the A6 already jammed and new national rules now forcing the Ministry of Housing to review any rejected scheme over 150 homes. Developers claimed sustainability, but locals fear government override and warn of worsening congestion. The battle between housing needs and infrastructure realities continues, leaving this project in limbo. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
