A CONTROVERSIAL housing application which was refused planning permission will feature in a BBC 2 documentary next week.
Last summer, campaigners in Minchinhampton successfully fought against plans to build seven retirement homes on the Lemon Field in the heart of the market town.
A film crew filmed the campaigners at various stages of the planning application.
The story will be shown in an episode of The Planners on BBC 2 at 8pm on Thursday, February 7.
