Locals argued that the narrow road is not wide enough to accommodate the number of cars that the proposed housing estate would attract – a stance they said was supported by a local inquiry by the Department for Environment dating back to 1980.
They said that decision remained valid as it had never been quashed and that the danger to pedestrians from traffic had increased in the 40 years since.
That was rejected by the council’s legal officer.
Residents have also mounted a legal challenge to claim a strip of land at the end of Wesley Avenue, which they say has not been proved to be part of the highway by the council.
