    Story

    Cheltenham / Gloucester Greenbelt is under threat from development and your support is invaluable. If we win this fight, our case will support other villages and towns in the same situation across the UK.

    Even a £1 donation will make a difference! you can choose any amount you want when you get to the donation page - you don't have to go with the suggested amounts - we genuinely appreciate every single hard earned pound - thank you!
    HOW WILL YOUR DONATION HELP

    To have a chance of success we need to deploy professional and legal skills where we could influence the Inspector and the appeal Inquiry in June 2017. We will deploy planning, transport and flood risk professionals and possibly a barrister (if funds can stretch). We have budgeted a provisional figure of £8k but will go out to a competitive tender of three quotes to ensure we get best value for our money and will prioritise these as soon as we know the level of funds available.

    There is no guarantee we will be successful but we have a fair chance, this application has previously been declined on 14 planning grounds and not making our case will mean that development on the greenbelt is inevitable.

    As well as increased flood risk for local residents and the loss of the Green Belt, the proposed large-scale development would grid lock key junctions in Gloucester and along our narrow country lanes. This landscape hosts the Gloucestershire Way and links to the Severn way, a major elevated new road is planned and would destroy the landscape.

    So, please donate whatever you can. .

    Thank you so much in advance, and please share, share, share
    The Parish Councils and local residents are challenging proposals for up to 4,000 houses on the Cheltenham / Gloucester Greenbelt and Site of Special Interest (SSSI) as we firmly believe that this would leave the whole site very vulnerable to even more development in the future.

        Good luck in raising much needed funds to fight this. It's ludicrous that developers push forward unsuitable sites such as this
