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.
