D-Day looms for South Stoke Plateau

We have had an exclusive preview of a map outlining Bath and North East Somerset Council's revised plan for South Stoke Plateau (or land adjoining Odd Down) - and it's bad news. 

A six-week public consultation begins on November 11

If the plan for 300 houses goes ahead ahead, virtually all the fields will be bulldozed for housing expect the far east and far south-west - in effect doubling the area of Sulis Meadows.

The plan will be available via www.bathnes.gov.uk/corestrategy on November 11 and this will be followed by a six-week public consultation during which presentations will be made in South Stoke and Odd Down (see story below) We'll also get the chance to respond directly to the council.

B&NES wants the comment forms returned no later than 5pm on Friday, 20th December 2013.  Comments received by this deadline will be forwarded to the Planning Inspector for his consideration.

Needless to say, it's vital that as many of us as possible respond so the Inspector is fully aware of the strength of opposition to ANY incursion of the green belt.
