The development and the parish are named Hunts Grove after the small historic woodland on the site.

Building began in 2010[1] and is expected to continue into the 2030s.

On 1 April 2020, Hunts Grove became a parish in its own right [2] having previously straddled the parishes of Hardwicke and Haresfield.[1]

Planning

edit

Planning permission was granted in 2008 by Stroud District Council, the relevant planning authority. Gloucester City Council formally objected[1] but a government planning inspector confirmed the permission in 2009.[1] Further objections were raised when Stroud District Council proposed an extension to include a further 750 new homes.[3]

On 25 May 2014, Gloucestershire County Council announced that a new primary school in the village would serve the 1,750 new homes being built.[4]
