Plans for over 100 new homes in Wilburton have been dropped after local backlash.

The application for Camp’s Field, off Stretham Road, included 115 homes, and was "community-led" according to the developer.

However, the proposals were met with strong opposition from locals, with dozens of objections being formally lodged, branding the proposals "unwanted and unsupported" and a "plague" on the village.

After the developer was unable to support claims the site was "community-led" on Friday 26 April 2024, East Cambridgeshire District Council said it  considered the application "finally disposed of".
