1,000 homes and forest improvements planned

HOUSING developers are planning to build nearly 1,000 new homes in a major expansion of Warmley.
Bloor Homes has applied for planning permission from South Gloucestershire Council to build the giant new housing estate.
The North Warmley development of 950 homes would be built on fields in between the A420 London Road and Webbs Heath.
The fields are currently protected from development under the Green Belt, which stops urban sprawl, but this protection could soon be removed.
The plans include expanding the Warmley Forest Park by around 15 hectares, with better walking routes, new woodlands, wetlands and wildflower meadows. This will open up currently private farmland to create extra space for the public to walk through.
Mike Kerton, planning director at Bloor Homes South West, said: “We've listened carefully to what matters most to people and top of that list was taking full advantage of turning currently private land into new public open space. Warmley Forest Park is already special, and this is our chance to make it even better.
