Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Crest Nicholson is currently completing a building project in Woodmancote, near Cheltenham in Gloucestershire. This WEB site has been created to publicise what is seen by members of the local community as its detrimental impact on the appearance of the village and on day to day village life. This WEB Site plans to explore the wider issues resulting from the head long pursuit by national developers, and now apparently supported by Tewkesbury Borough Council in Gloucestershire, to maximise the return on land investment by cramming multi story houses into every available plot of suburban or semi rural land, flood plain or not. There have been many contentious issues during the development of the Woodmancote site, but none has caused more universal condemnation than the eyesore that has been created where the building work crashes into Bushcombe Lane. The unnecessarily high profile of the houses, their closeness to the Lane look ugly and totally out of keeping with the rest of the housing in the lane. This, together with the introduction of an ill conceived and unsafe Pedestrian Access have turned a beautiful semi rural setting into a disgraceful mess. The developers, Crest Nicholson, their Architects, Barton Willmore who are members of the Royal Institute of British Architecture, and the Tewkesbury Borough Council stolidly refused to enter into any sort of dialogue or communication with the local residents. Eventually local media interest (What the Papers Say) forced a response from the developers, but with no remedial action.
Coronation Street meets Bushcombe Lane
The row of Crest Nicholson houses adjacent to Bushcombe Lane is rapidly becoming akin to the back row of Coronation Street. Through no fault of the new residents the privacy of their back gardens is non existent. The high profile of the houses, together with low, transparent fences leaves everything for the passer by to see. Tin sheds, washing lines satellite dishes all sit there as if on a shelf for everyone to behold. Such a disappointment for the new residents and how disgraceful that Crest Nicholson allowed this to happen.
