Forest of Dean District Council is currently drafting a housing plan to accommodate over 13,000 new homes over the next two decades, in line with government targets. One proposed solution is to build a new settlement near Churcham, just off the A40. While local residents worry about increased commuter traffic at the nearby bottleneck of Over, many are also alarmed about the effect on the setting of the grade II*-listed St Andrew’s Church.
