Wotton Spring Gardens and Open Studios Trail - A trail of arts, crafts, painting, sculpture and sumptuous Spring gardens 5,6 May 2019 by Under the Edge Arts [email protected] 2017 event raised over £5k for Wotton Arts Project - we hope to match it.

1/3 We now face a threat to the Holywell and the green triangle of allotments. A planning application has been made to build on the green area at the centre of Holywell. The proposal is for two large 4 bedroom 'aspirational dwellings' with garages.

2/3 it appears that these properties will dominate the area particularly in relation to the small cottages on the north side of the proposed development. it also looks like the historical well,which gives the hamlet it's name, will be covered over.

3/3 This development will do nothing to address local housing need while destroying the green space at the centre of Holywell which has existed, at least, since the end of the 19th century. full details at stroud.gov.uk/PLO/Default.as… using ref. S.18/2663/FUL
