A NEW cul-de-sac can be built in Bishop’s Waltham, planners ruled.

It was third time lucky for Mapledean Developments, which wants to build eight properties in the large back gardens of five homes in Rareridge Lane.

Planners rejected a similar scheme in 2007 and an amended version the year after.

Now the proposal has been passed after the developers promised extra cash for the council’s open spaces fund.
