Stop New Housing Development On Greenfield Sites Around Stroud
Ensure brownfield sites are developed before turning greenfield sites into housing estates
Why is this important?
There are hundreds of acres of brownfield sites in the Stroud District which could be used to build the new housing required for the people of the Stroud District. However, developers don't want to build on these sites because it costs them more money than building on green fields.We should not allow the greed of developers to dictate local housing policy.
If we still need more land for housing, once the brown field sites have been developed, we can then consider building on green field sites.
The Government have said development should be on brownfield sites first so why aren't Stroud District council enforcing this policy?
The Government have also said its a bottom up policy with local people deciding where houses should be built.
This is our opportunity to tell Stroud District council.
