Thank goodness that the new coalition government has thrown out Labour's plans for 2000 houses to be built at South Stoke. There had been no consideration to what local residents thought or the impact on local services and amenities. Hooray for the new government's view that local people and local councils should have the freedom to decide where new housing developments should be built and when they will be needed.
The pressure and campaigning over recent months - including a petition signed by every resident of South Stoke - has been vindicated and democracy has triumphed. Now local people are back in charge of their own communities. The old government had imposed a target of 21K houses to be built by 2026 in B&NES.
