@alisonstenning @katrinanavickas @SaveFarmTerrace @SaveNFAllotment Love the project but Coombe Allotments was never a public space legally. It was privately owned since the Berkeley Estate sold it on. Gardened as allotments for centuries but with no legal protection. Now safe and green, locally owned. Developers thwarted.

I'm listing & mapping current and recent-ish campaigns for preserving open and public space in England. historyofpublicspace.uk/history/campai… - any more to add to the list?

Planning permission refused for two houses that would have destroyed the Holywell Holy Well and ruined the hamlet. Well done everyone .

Opposition mounting to the Holywell planning application - to object visit publicaccess.stroud.gov.uk/online-applica… #SaveHolyWell

Archaelogy & the historic environment of Holywell, must be considered in this application - as well as the beautiful landscape, within the @CotswoldsAONB #SaveHolywell

Facebook posting on the Holy Well by former Wotton Town Clerk , Glenys Sykes. This site is historic and precious.

The threatened Holy Well and green triangle at Holywell, Wotton under Edge

3/3 This development will do nothing to address local housing need while destroying the green space at the centre of Holywell which has existed, at least, since the end of the 19th century. full details at stroud.gov.uk/PLO/Default.as… using ref. S.18/2663/FUL

2/3 it appears that these properties will dominate the area particularly in relation to the small cottages on the north side of the proposed development. it also looks like the historical well,which gives the hamlet it's name, will be covered over.

1/3 We now face a threat to the Holywell and the green triangle of allotments. A planning application has been made to build on the green area at the centre of Holywell. The proposal is for two large 4 bedroom 'aspirational dwellings' with garages.
