West Lindsey District Council has approved plans for a 150-home development in Fiskerton, Lincolnshire, submitted by the Church Commissioners for England.
Concerns were raised about traffic impact, as the initial proposal included a single access point via Corn Close. The council approved the project on the condition that a second access route be created on Hall Lane.
Residents expressed concerns over increased congestion and disruption during construction, while some councillors questioned the scale of the development in the 1,200-person village, which lacks shops and medical facilities.
The developer must submit detailed plans for further approval, including house designs and layouts.
