Campaigners have welcomed a decision by a developer Gladman to drop legal proceedings over refusal of planning permission for a 112-homes development at Baxter’s Field off Summer Street in the Slad Valley near Stroud made famous by writer Laurie Lee, <\/span>though earlier this month a decision to approve plans by the same developer, for up to 150 new homes on fields nearby on Mankley Field near Kings Stanley, was upheld at the High Court.<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

BBC writes:
\n<\/span>Developer Gladman wanted to build 112 homes on Baxter’s Field off Summer Street in the Slad Valley, which was made famous by writer Laurie Lee.<\/p>\n

Stroud District Council and a planning inspector both rejected the planning application last year.<\/p>\n

Gladman sought a judicial review to try to reverse the decision, but has now withdrawn its legal challenge.<\/p>\n
