Plans to build 11 new homes in the village of Woolaston, near Lydney, have been given the green light by the Forest of Dean District planners. The development, set on more than an acre of land off Netherend, will include a variety of two, three, and four-bedroom houses. The layout features a single access road branching out to serve both semi-detached and detached homes, each with its own parking and garden space. Despite facing objections from the local parish council and residents concerning density, access, and drainage, the planning committee approved the project with specific conditions to address these issues.
The decision to approve the plans came after careful consideration of the community’s feedback. Local residents and the parish council expressed concerns about the potential impact on the village’s infrastructure, particularly regarding the increased traffic and strain on existing drainage systems. However, the developers have proposed measures to mitigate these concerns, ensuring that the new homes will blend seamlessly into the community and not overburden local resources.
The new housing development aims to provide much-needed homes in the area, contributing to the local housing supply and offering options for families and individuals looking to settle in Woolaston. The mix of housing types is designed to cater to a range of needs and preferences, from smaller two-bedroom houses to larger four-bedroom family homes. Each property will feature modern amenities, private gardens, and allocated parking spaces.
