District Council Planners have now received an outline planning application for 120 houses at Frome-hall Park. The consultation period has now begun. Andrew Fisk will be leading for the Liberal Democrats on this for the moment, as Parish Councillor Christine Headley is Chair of the Parish's Planning and Transportation Committee, said "Rodborough lacks green space areas as it is. Fromehall Park is not the place to build a mass of housing, certainly not at the expense of a sport facility." Cllr Christine Headley said, "Even a hundred houses seemed too many for the site, particularly given the amount of traffic we would expect them to generate so close to a tricky junction."
