Potential development in Westerleigh village

A planning consultant will be at the Westerleigh Parish Council meeting on Monday (7.15 in Westerleigh village hall) to make a presentation on "potential housing land adjoining Westerleigh village boundary garden land between Westerleigh Road, Drovers Way and the single track railway (behind Burma House and Bella Vista, Westerleigh Road)". This land is currently in the Green Belt and outside the village development boundary. In his initial report on the South Glos Core Strategy, the Inspector supported the council's stance that communities should be involved in any changes to their development boundaries, through Neighbourhood Planning or other means. He also said that developments in the countryside should be no more than 30 dwellings.
