A scheme that details Plans to build hundreds of homes on the green belt land in Bath has been given the go ahead, despite the passionate opposition of campaigners appealing against the Plans.
A meeting of council members from Bath and North East Somerset took place on Thursday, 10th July at the Guildhall to debate these, Plans which are part of Bath’s core strategy for the city’s development over a timescale of 15 years.
However, this strategy has proven to be quite controversial, as people living in areas close to the green belt rejected the proposal to shift the open fields, with campaigners staging a protest outside of the Guildhall prior to the debate to voice their opinions, which included the use of banner printing to emphasise their stance.
As part of the development Plans, 13,000 homes are set to be built across the city, which includes 3,300 affordable abodes. This will also create more than 10,000 jobs for local residents. It involves shifting the green belt boundary in order for properties to be built on fields located on land near the South Stoke between Saltford and Keynsham.
However, efforts to get the council to reject the plan were ultimately in vain, as members of the council overwhelmingly voted in favour of the Plans following a lengthy and intense debate.Get a Free Quote for Plans
