ANOTHER battlefront in the campaign over building on the edge of Winchester is set to reopen today.
CALA Homes is seeking a judicial review over the refusal of permission for 2,000 houses at Barton Farm.
The developer is challenging the Secretary of State who confirmed a planning inspector's decision after a public inquiry in 2005.
The High Court in London will hear the case today and tomorrow.
If CALA wins, it could mean another public inquiry or even the Secretary of State granting permission for the scheme, which has been strongly opposed by thousands of locals.
The reopening of the legal action comes as Winchester City Council has suggested Barton Farm as a potential site for some of the 12,000 homes required between 2006-2026.
