Hunts Grove is a new village being built on the southern edge of the city of Gloucester. Building began in 2010[1] and is expected to continue into the 2030s.
Hunts Grove is being built on land formerly part of Colethrop Farm in the parishes of Hardwicke and Haresfield.[1] The development was named Hunts Grove after the small historic woodland on the site.
On 1 April 2020, Hunts Grove became a parish in its own right.[2]
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]
