Development
In 2010, the development of 450 houses began at Homelands farm, with the developers, Comparo, wanting to build an extra 550 houses on top of this. Although this was rejected by Tewkesbury Borough Council in 2007, the developers have since launched an appeal to the Secretary of State for communities and local government about the decision, which has triggered a full planning inquiry. The main concerns about this development is the strain on the local infrastructure it will create, and the fact that the area is a flooding 'hotspot'.
But in 2012, the secretary of state declared the 'Cleevelands' to be built, which will start the construction of 550 dwellings in the North West of Bishops Cleeve.Once the development goes ahead Bishops Cleeve will soon become a small town but bigger than Tewekesbury.

She is the Heroine. And I am one of those subordinate characters that only turn up when needed for the development of her destiny, and whose final appearance is outside the church, waiting to greet the Happy Pair!””
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

This fight for our own independence will lead to the growth and development of the revolutionary movement in this country. Only the independent woman can be truly effective in the larger revolutionary struggle.”
