We Want to Protect The Green Spaces of South Gloucestershire.

To Oppose Mass Development of the South Gloucestershire Green Belt!

Following a final public Consultation stage which closed on 11th April 2025, and despite strong objections raised by the public and ourselves with the help of our Planning Consultant,  SGC are continuing with their Local Plan.  They are currently in the process of reviewing all the feedback and may make minor amendments prior to submitting it to the Planning Inspectorate around September time.  The Planning Inspectorate is anticipated to hold their public examination in early 2026 before making a final decision to either approve or reject the Plan. 

In the meanwhile developers are free to submit planning applications at will.  These may or may not be for land covered in the Local Plan and must be opposed independently.

We therefore have 2 objectives:-
1. To continue to raise funds to pay for our Planning Consultant to represent us at the Planning Inspectorate Public Examination.

2. To raise public awareness of ad hoc Planning Applications as they are submitted so you the public can individually raise appropriate objections in a timely manor.  There may only be a short window of opportunity to react so we must all keep alert!
