A planning inspector has thrown out an appeal to build an executive housing estate on farmland in Walmer Bridge.

South Ribble Borough Council rejected plans for nine houses on land adjoining Tuson's Farm in Gill Lane last year, largely because the land lies in an area designated as greenbelt.

Permission for development in greenbelt is usually granted only if exceptional circumstances can be shown to justify it.
