A DETAILED planning application for 1,500 homes in Wantage is expected to be submitted within a month.

Wantage and Grove Campaign Group for sustainable development, which attended the latest Crab Hill forum meeting, also said it is planning to hold an exhibition of the plans.

London property giant St Modwen is developing plans for the massive housing estate on behalf of a conglomerate of landowners, and invites a limited number of interested parties such as the campaign group to regular private forum meetings.
