Inspector sets date for public inquiry on Core Strategy

Thank you to all who took the time to respond to the consultation on South Gloucestershire’s Core Strategy. Across the whole of South Gloucester shire most comments were seeking to protecting Woodlands Farm from development .

We understand that Barratt Homes will be seeking to have Woodlands identified for development in the Core Strategy rather than making a planning application at this stage.

The Inspector who will be holding the Public Inquiry into the proposals in the Core Strategy has announced that it will start on Tuesday 19th June in Kingswood Civic Centre. He will have a pre- meeting about it on Tuesday 17th April also in Kingswood Civic Centre.

These will be open to the public so if you are interested you can turn up. Anyone wishing to speak at the Examination in Public will have to put in a request by Tuesday 12th April.

Frampton Cotterell Parish Council will be discussing whether they will seek to be represented at their meeting on 4th April, 7.30pm in the Brockeridge Centre. Westerleigh Parish Council next meet on 2nd April, 7.15pm in the Manor Hall, Coalpit Heath.

The Save Woodlands Farm action group are keen to get as many posters up as possible as the inspector may make a site visit. If you would like a poster at cost price, please contact Richard on 01454 776693 or rjmerrick@blueyonder.co.uk .
