Spirit Ventures is seeking permission in principle planning consent to build two semi-detached homes off Worcester Road in Pirton.
Pirton Parish Council has objected to the plans, calling them 'unsustainable', raising concerns about poor internet, poor phone signals, and more that already exist in the village of around 60 homes.

Wychavon District Council is currently running a public consultation that will end on June 23.
Plans state: "The site has an area of approximately 0.2 hectares and fronts Worcester Road, which is subject to a 30mph speed limit as it passes the built-up area of Pirton.
"The site benefits from good visibility along this road and can achieve safe vehicular access once the access is brought to the necessary standards."
Drakes Broughton, Wadborough, and Pirton Parish Councils have all asked Wychavon District Council to refuse the plans.
In a joint statement, councillors said: "This site is in open countryside as defined by SWDP and should be automatically ruled out for development.
"Pirton is a small settlement of circa 60 dwellings. It is reached by travelling on single-track lanes (with passing spaces) and is classified as Open Countryside. The existing level of infrastructure can support this small community, but it does not lend itself to any development.
"Pirton cannot be described as a sustainable location, as there is no realistic access to services, facilities and public transport to support further housing development.
"The majority of Pirton’s houses utilise private sewage treatment, with only a small number having access to some form of mains drainage. Mobile phone signals are poor, and broadband is delivered to homes on copper cables (not fibre). Even electricity isn’t always available (the local WhatsApp group records show 15 occasions in the last three years where there have been unplanned power outages)."
