Bovis Homes- Please Preserve Box Road Bath House


Bovis Homes- Please Preserve Box Road Bath House
The Issue
Upon construction a Roman villa bath house has been unearthed at the BOX ROAD BOVIS ESTATE, CAM, DURSLEY.
Whilst archaeologists are continuing to work on the ground where the discovery was made, the site itself has granted full planning permission and a layout that could potentially lead to the villa being filled back in and covered with a house or road.
Whilst we understand that it would cost thousands for Historic England to compensate Bovis for their loss if they were to intervene, locals do not want to see this incredible piece of history re-buried.
BOVIS HOMES- Please please can you modify your plans to allow this villa to be preserved?
