Many people will know that the fields at Blackbridge are earmarked for development into a community sports hub, with sports pitches and changing facilities etc.
Drawings are indicative only and are subject to final changes.
This project is being taken forward by the Blackbridge Community Land Trust in conjunction with the City Council, the County Council, Gloucester City Homes, Gloucestershire Athletics Club, Blackbridge Jubilee Athletics Track and Active Gloucestershire.
Recently, some archeological investigations were carried out on the fields, but nothing was found. Currently, stakeholders are in discussions with the planners as to what their requirements and aspirations might be.
You can find out more information by visiting SF planning. Although the initial consultation period has passed, there will be more opportunities to comment in future as formal planning applications are made. It is hoped that these could be submitted before Christmas this year, but as with many things at the moment there is potential for slippage.
As part of the Gloucester City plan, approved in August 2019, a patch of land was earmarked for 30 homes. This is marked SA14 on the map. It is past the allotments and homes at New Dawn View.
