Retrospective applications and rural works feature in latest South Gloucestershire planning lists

Recent planning applications submitted to South Gloucestershire Council include a mix of retrospective regularisations and new development across the district's rural parishes, according to Gazette Series and the council's own planning weekly list [1][2][3][4][5].

Gazette Series reported that proposals for up to 450 homes and primary school facilities are planned for Coalpit Heath, alongside other applications for Almondsbury and Frampton Cotterell [1]. Separately, a retrospective application has been submitted for Blades Farm on Ganzell Lane, Woodmancote, in Dursley, to regularise equestrian facilities and alterations within an existing barn, Gazette Series said [2].

The council's planning weekly list also includes retrospective residential work, with an application to install a raised patio and a 2m high privacy screen at 94 Hickory Lane, Almondsbury [4]. Other listed applications involve agricultural and conservation works: an application at Westend Farm, West End, Wickwar, proposes erecting walls and a roof over an existing stone-walled structure to form an animal pen, a small washroom and a farm machinery store for agricultural use [3], while works to fell one cherry tree and one Davidia tree are proposed at Court Farm, The Pound, Almondsbury, within the Almondsbury Conservation Area [5].
