Does Bidford on Avon need more houses?

There is currently an application to turn the empty square piece of land off Waterloo Road into a further fifty houses. As if Bidford on Avon isn’t already drowning under the quantity of new homes that have and are being built.

When we invested in building Cosmic House, the fantastic and award winning home for Bidford Bright Stars children’s nursery, we were told that the land would become the site of a new supermarket, shops and office space. The council were adamant that this corner of the town needed retail, not more homes. It is therefore disappointing to see this application make it to the District Council.

They are registering feedback until 18th January so if you feel strongly that this, formally industrial site, should be used for retail, rather than more houses please express your concern.
