Travellers site proposed for Frampton Cotterell Parish council leads objections PAGE 11 215 new homes could be built on fields in Coalpit Heath, three years after a larger application was rejected. Barrett Homes says it intends to submit a proposal to South Gloucestershire Council for the development, which it is calling Blackberry Park. A big campaign stopped plans for nearly 400
homes on the site in 2013, and local people are likely to put up fierce resistance to the new proposals. Barrett Homes claims the new scheme gives much more of the site to open space for use by the community, but objectors say it will mean 400 extra cars on already congested roads and
more pressure on schools and doctor's surgeries. The proposed homes could be on top of the 1,500 homes earmarked for green belt land in Coalpit Heath as part of regional proposals for future housing in the greater Bristol area. Full story, Page 3
