Bishops Green residents blast proposals to build 400 homes in village
Development would "devastate" area
');
BISHOPS Green residents are up in arms about proposals to build 400 new homes in their village.
As reported in the Newbury Weekly News last week, a huge housing development could be built on Bishops Green Farm after the owner entered an agreement with Catesby Estates to promote the site.
This means that Catesby Estates would seek to get outline planning permission for a development and then market the site to housebuilders.
The company has put together a ‘vision’ for the village, transforming it from an “incidental settlement” to a “sustainable village community”, bringing social and economic benefits.
