Two small communities are locked in an extraordinary dispute about who should have a massive housing development in their area – with both insisting it should be them.

Discussions are underway about 2,000 homes being built at Robertson Barracks in Norfolk - a historic 400-acre military base where Churchill and Eisenhower once met during the Second World War.

But this has sparked a feud as the land lies on the boundary between Swanton Morley and neighbouring Hoe and Worthing – both of which are laying claim to the development as it will generate significant council tax revenue.

Much of the base, including where the barracks are located, is in Swanton Morley.

But the area which once formed an RAF airfield – and where most of the new homes would go up – is in Hoe and Worthing.
