Possible Massive New Development in Bathavon

News that Baker Associates have put in a planning application for over 9000 new homes south of Bristol before the RSS has been ratified have worried local residents in the three areas of search in B&NES. That is south of Whitchurch, Newton St Loe and South Stoke. The Government Regional Spatial Strategy has been put on hold while there is a legal wrangle but developers are already in discussion about building new homes. They are working on the draft strategy as if it had been ratified. Residents are advised to look out for planning applications in the above places so that they can object – or put forward design suggestions. For instance: energy efficiency measures; provision for allotments; play area; community halls; landscaping.
