We already have three convenience stores within 5 minutes of the location that are well established within the community; we do not need another. Parking and traffic around the area is already a problem which will be exacerbated by this proposal. We do not need any additional retail units: the community is already well served by local shops and businesses and we risk drawing business away from them. Charlton Kings is a vibrant community, well served by existing retail businesses, and I believe this application will damage this. Comments: 16th June 2014 As others have stated in these comments, this application runs contrary to stated planning strategy & objectives for the area and I strongly object to the proposal.

When I put these walks together, I’m looking for a good part of the walk to go through the pathways and lanes of a village, but also for part to be through the countryside with a bit of up and down. I aim for an hour or so – which justifies having a pudding at the pub! This book, entitled Frome Valley , contains walks in Caudle Green, Edgeworth, Sapperton and The Daneway pub which are in the valley of the River Frome - as well as Duntisbourne Abbots which is in a valley running parallel to it.
