A proposal to build 20 affordable homes in the Cotswolds is still not under construction, despite a process that has lasted about 11 years. Across multiple stages, the project has faced repeated planning difficulties, including several rounds of planning applications and ongoing disputes over approval. According to the reporting, the scheme has required numerous meetings and inspections and has been subject to legal challenges, including two High Court cases. Despite these steps, sources say that no building work has begun and no homes have been delivered under the original plan. The stalled project is described as aiming to provide homes for residents priced out of the area, contrasting with the high property values in the region. The information provided focuses on delays linked to planning and litigation rather than any completed construction milestones. The situation remains unresolved, with the project still awaiting the necessary progress to move from approval and scrutiny to building.
