The Hercules Road development by Redrow Homes, was granted on appeal, but remained controversial. However the developer did contribute £450,000 to local education, improvements to Anchor Road community park, and to upgrade pedestrian and cycle facilities[1]. The development contains 2,3, and 4 bedroom homes of differing styles. The names for this development were decided in 2011, when Councillor A Hill suggested incorporating 'Hercules' due to the close bond between Calne and RAF Lyneham. Councillor Plenty, and mayor at the time, suggested 'Anson' due to the link between Calne and Yatesbury. These names and the others for this development were agreed at the same time[2].
The development off Spitfire Road was also initially refused in 2013, before being approved with an amended site plan in 2015[3].
