Good evening from Points West. Campaigners in Cheltenham are

:00:10.:00:13.

claiming victory after plans for 800 new homes on green belt land were

:00:14.:00:19.

dropped. The site at Up Hatherley was earmarked for housing as part of

:00:20.:00:23.

a proposal devised by three of Gloucestershire's councils. New

:00:24.:00:26.

predicitions for population growth now means two sites will no longer

:00:27.:00:37.

be built on. Steve Knibbs rdports. Celebrations today as campahgners

learnt that these particular fields are staying green. Testament, they

:00:40.:00:47.

say, to putting up a good fhght for 800 homes here. We have people

:00:48.:00:53.

backing our campaign who wrote and said that they did not want this

:00:54.:00:56.

triangle to be built on. The original Joint Core Str`tegy

:00:57.:00:59.

identified several areas for over 33,000 new homes.

:01:00.:01:04.

But new projections on population growth mean that green belt sites at

:01:05.:01:07.

Up Hatherley and Twigworth have been cut. And the number of housds needed

:01:08.:01:13.

is down by 2700 for now. The government are being very clear

:01:14.:01:17.

that we should not delay anx of the planning process to wait for new

:01:18.:01:21.

figures. We should go ahead with the data that we have got. On the basis

:01:22.:01:27.

of that data and the analyshs, we think our figure is the right one.

:01:28.:01:32.

But, again, there is more d`ta. And that's exactly what campaigners in

:01:33.:01:36.

other parts of the town want the board to do.

:01:37.:01:41.

A lot of people writing abott the numbers, both on the housing

:01:42.:01:45.

formation rates and the poptlation projections. They are wrong and the

:01:46.:01:54.

evidence is, we are backed tp by officers at the Office of N`tional

:01:55.:01:58.

Statistics. Working out how many homes we need

:01:59.:02:06.

is a fine art. There is another public consultation and potdntially

:02:07.:02:08.

a public inquiry before the final plan gets put forward for approval

at an event in Gloucestershhre. He could face a maximum three`xear ban

:02:24.:02:27.

from the sport and said tod`y he was disappointed at the decision. The

reported comments were prejtdicial to the good reputation of r`cing.

Sculptures of five foot hards have started popping up across

:02:39.:02:40.

Cirencester. It's part of the town's hare festival opened earlier by

:02:41.:02:42.

Laurence Llewelyn`Bowen. Thd sculptures have been decorated and

:02:43.:02:46.

placed in a trail for peopld to follow, much like the Gromits of

:02:47.:02:49.

Bristol, and the Lions in B`th. The hare has been a symbol of the town

:04:15.:04:20.

We saw some lovely bright skies today, and we will see the same

tomorrow, but between now and then there will be some cloud, which

:04:27.:04:31.

could bring rain. The rain should be liked and it should be a mild night,
