Overview
- Miller Homes has begun local consultation for 135 homes near Tetbury, and the company says it will share more details with residents before filing.
- The fields between Bath Road and Longfurlong Lane border Highgrove and are described by residents as a wildflower meadow within the Cotswold National Landscape.
- Local councillors and campaigners oppose the scheme, saying the land lies outside Tetbury’s housing boundary and that they have not found supporters in town.
- Security concerns focus on a Highgrove protection zone about 150 meters away, which is patrolled by armed officers under laws that restrict access to protected sites.
- The Longfurlong Greenfields Association formed recently and signed up more than 100 people in a day, with members warning of wildlife loss, crowded parking, and longer waits to see a doctor.
