Site work delayed

REDEVELOPMENT work on the derelict Bymacks site in Dursley is still several months away according to Stroud District Council planning chiefs.

It is three months since members of the development control committee of the council resolved not to refuse planning permission to an application by developers Crest Nicholson.

Their 146-home development with associated infrastructure including the first section of the Dursley relief road will go ahead as long as the developers agree to a list of conditions set out by planning officials.

Discussions involving district council planners, the Environment Agency, Gloucestershire County Council and Crest Nicholson have been ongoing since the resolution was made, but agreement has yet to be reached.

John Balfe, the district council's principal planning officer (south), said: "The Bymacks site something that is being dealt with very much on a day-to-day basis. It is slowly coming along but is one of those things where everyone needs to be happy."
