Hunts Grove is a civil parish on the southern edge of the city of Gloucester. It almost entirely comprises a new build development being built on land formerly part of Colethrop Farm, but also includes the older area of Four Mile Elm on the Bristol Road and Bath Road.
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
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]
