Campaigners battle to stop 89-home estate being built next to Dorset manor Wolfeton House

Countryside campaigners after facing a fresh fight with developers to prevent a housing estate being built next to a historic manor that inspired Thomas Hardy.
Objectors including Historic England and the Hardy Society thought they had stopped plans for 120 homes on land close to Wolfeton House, which the Victorian author visited frequently.
Last year a government planning inspector ruled against the development, stating it would cause 'permanent harm' to the landscape near Dorchester, Dorset.
But the developers say the inspector commented that some housing might be acceptable and have now come back with a new plan for 89 properties on the rural plot.
