As you may be aware a planning application that was submitted in 2008 to erect 30 properties on the land between The City Farm and Cotswold View was withdrawn due to public pressure.
We are aware that a new application has now been submitted to erect 20 properties on this area of land.
The full application can be viewed on the BANES Website here and comments can be made up until 30th July 2015.
We will be requesting that this matter is determined by BANES development committee when due for consideration. We successfully opposed the 2008 application that was withdrawn by Curo due to widespread public opposition and difficulties with funding.
The Curo application was far superior to the current application, so therefore we believe that this application will also be rejected.
This land has been secured as important hillside, valuable open space and a recreational area in the emerging placemaking plan following a submission by Councillor Tim Ball earlier this year.
