Woodlands Farm latest

As we feared, Barratt Homes are taking the opportunity before the council’s Core Strategy is finally in place to put forward their proposals for Woodlands Farm again.

This proposal is in no way supported by the Core Strategy. The Inspector has said that 30 houses would be the maximum in a development in a village. He has also supported the council’s view that communities should be involved in any changes to their boundaries through Neighbourhood Planning. When responding to the Inspector’s proposals, South Glos strongly rejected his request for more housing to happen in the next five years and said that if land did have to be found it should be in Thornbury, not Coalpit Heath.
