The Liberal Democrats have expressed disappointment after Bathurst Development Limited's planning application for 2350 houses on the edge of Cirencester was voted through.
17 Conservative Councillors voted for the scheme with all of Cirencester's Lib Dem Councillors voting against, there were three abstentions with a further 5 unable to vote.
Cotswold Liberal Democrat Leader, Councillor Joe Harris commented: "Conservative Councillors from outside of Cirencester have ignored the strong strength of feeling and robust arguments that local residents have put forward and committed our Town to a period of great uncertainty.
