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.

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“The experience of a sense of guilt for wrong-doing is necessary for the development of self-control. The guilt feelings will later serve as a warning signal which the child can produce himself when an impulse to repeat the naughty act comes over him. When the child can produce his on warning signals, independent of the actual presence of the adult, he is on the way to developing a conscience.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“Other nations have tried to check ... the fulfillment of our manifest destiny to overspread the continent allotted by Providence for the free development of our yearly multiplying millions.”
—John Louis O’Sullivan (1813–1895)
“Understanding child development takes the emphasis away from the child’s character—looking at the child as good or bad. The emphasis is put on behavior as communication. Discipline is thus seen as problem-solving. The child is helped to learn a more acceptable manner of communication.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
