To discuss the proposed development of a “garden village” at Sharpness with over 5,000 houses are set to be built around Sharpness and Berkeley. 25/0417/OUT
🚗5k new houses in a ISOLATED area like Berkeley & Sharpness? thousands more cars on narrow rural roads —NO train station minimal bus service NO safe cycling infrastructure
This isn’t sustainable development It’s car dependency by design
#PlanningMatters#SustainableDevelopment
Plan for 12,000 homes halted over traffic concerns :- about time they listened the obvious facts. You can’t build 2750 homes miles from anything and pretend it’s sustainable as it creates car dependency #carbonfootprint#wakeup https://t.co/m37IS11C7w
A new update on the proposed local plan on the SDC website today. Unsure of the impact on current planning applications and consultations underway, but hopefully good news?

This was such a good day. The developers never appealed and the site is being taken out of the local plan. Now a site of nature conservation interest with rare bats and invertebrates in Knowle West is saved for future generations to enjoy. People power works! 💚
A friend of our group has made this questionnaire about the proposed 5k houses in #Sharpness#Berkeley#Severnvale https://t.co/QMzOaZlmuH MM

We welcome new Government amendments to the Planning Bill that:
✅ Deliver more rigorous scientific safeguards
✅ Guarantee nature benefits will outweigh any harm caused
✅ Requires back-up measures if compensation delivery falls short
Now we hold Gov’s feet to the fire over implementation...

The Sharpness ‘garden village’ isn’t green—it’s a gamble. 2,750 homes with no proven rail link, overstretched roads, and vital habitats at risk. Developers promise big, but who pays when it falls short? Locals deserve better. #StopSharpnessVale#StroudPlanning@StroudDC
