Northleach Town Council’s Response to Application 26/00613/OUT

Posted on By Town Clerk

Following the extraordinary Full Council meeting on 30 March, we’ve now submitted the Town Council’s response to the outline planning application for 50 dwellings on the Land to the East of Nostle Road.

After carefully reviewing the proposal, councillors considered key factors including the impact on the sewage system capacity, landscape constraints, housing mix and affordable housing, traffic and access, and how the proposal align with the Neighbourhood Plan and wider planning policies.

The council’s response reflects the concerns and priorities raised by councillors and members of the community. While the final decision rests with the district council, it is important that local views are clearly represented as part of the process.

You can view the details of the application, along with our submitted comments, on the district council’s planning portal.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to come to last week’s extraordinary full council meeting and/or share their feedback.
