Alderton News
Dibden Lane and Willow Bank Road Planning applications
Updated: March 20th 2020
Some good news! Greenvolt withdrew their planning application for 41 houses off Dibden Lane before it went to to Tewkesbury Borough Council's Planning Committee. Cala Homes application was rejected by Tewkesbury Borough Planning Committee - Cala Homes applied for 28 houses off Willow Bank Road , only one vote at Committee being cast in favour. A representative from the Parish Council and a representative of residents both made short presentations to the Committee.
A special thanks to all villagers who sent in objections. There were over 100 objections to the Cala Homes proposal and over 90 for Greenvolt (with a shorter timescale ). The objections were summarised in the Planning Officer’s report for the Cala Homes application and referred to in the Parish Council submission and presentations. The Planning Officer report for Greenvolt also recommended rejection. We wait to see whether Cala will appeal, but if they do the Parish Council will join the Borough in robustly defending this rejection. There are no outstanding applications but we need to remain ready to respond.

Oak Hill CofE Primary School Alderton and Dumbleton

Whilst Oakhill CofE Primary School has an enviable pupil to teacher ratio, we have some small class sizes in Reception and Years 2 and 5. This impacts the government funding for the school, so we're keen to invite more pupils to join our Alderton and Dumbleton bases respectively. If you want to find out more, please contact Head teacher, Mr Holdstock, on 01242 620448
