Hunts Grove is a new village being built on the southern edge of the city of Gloucester. Building began in 2010 [1] and is expected to continue into the 2030s.

Contents

Hunts Grove is being built on land formerly part of Colethrop Farm in the parishes of Hardwicke and Haresfield. [1] The development was named Hunts Grove after the small historic woodland on the site.

On 1 April 2020, Hunts Grove became a parish in its own right. [2]

Planning

Planning permission was granted in 2008 by Stroud District Council, the relevant planning authority. Gloucester City Council formally objected [1] but a government planning inspector confirmed the permission in 2009. [1] Further objections were raised when Stroud District Council proposed an extension to include a further 750 new homes. [3]

On 25 May 2014, Gloucestershire County Council announced that a new primary school in the village would serve the 1,750 new homes being built. [4]

Phases and Developers

Hunts Grove Primary Academy

Hunts Grove Primary Academy is operated by Robinswood Academy Trust and opened in September 2019. [13] Construction of the school was contracted by Crest Nicholson [14] to Willmott Dixon Construction Ltd [15] with the build commencing September 3, 2018. [13]
