Yate Town Football Club The chairman of Yate Town Football club is mightily disappointed and has urged South Gloucestershire Councillors to carefully consider their decision on a proposed development on Iron Acton Way after the initial proposals were rejected on the grounds it would amount to destructive “urban sprawl” and swallow up a village. Councillors refused Redrow Homes’ proposal to build 118 houses on Iron Acton Way, but as the vote went against the recommendation of a planning officer to approve the application, a final decision will be made at a later date by a higher-level committee at South Gloucestershire Council.
