Cotswold Areas Identified for New Homes and Village Development
The Cotswold District Council has published draft options for future housing development, revealing areas that could see thousands of new homes and a new village built in the coming years.
This move is in response to a significant increase in government-imposed targets for new homes, with the required number of homes per year more than doubling to 1,036.
- The national drive aims to build 1.5 million homes during this parliament.
- A public consultation will be launched in early November, following cabinet endorsement of potential development scenarios.
