Sovereign Housing Association has acquired part of the land, off Morton Way, from Miller Homes. Landform Estates sold the 55-acre Cleve Park site to Miller Homes last year. The land will be turned into a 350-home development known as Cleve Wood. South Gloucestershire Council refused planning permission for the development in March 2017, and then launched a judicial review when the Planning Inspectorate Clive Hughes overruled its decision. The appeal was dismissed by the High Court in February 2019. Sovereign will build 136 homes as part of the deal. The overall development will see a total of 336 new homes and 14 self-build homes, a care home and retail space.

NEWBURY MP Laura Farris and mayor Elizabeth O’Keeffe joined residents and members of the businesses community to plant more than 200 saplings in Newbury’s Goldwell Park.
The event was the second part of the Lockdown Woods project, a joint initiative between Newbury Friends of the Earth, Newbury Town Council and West Berkshire Council which will see 1,800 trees planted across the district.
The saplings, as well as improving the environment and making West Berkshire a greener place to be, will also serve as living memorials to those who have lost their lives as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
