A plague on all your houses! Anger in Shakespeare's town at go-ahead for 800 new homes by Anne Hathaway's cottage | Mail Online

A tempest is brewing in Stratford-upon-Avon after the Government gave the go-ahead for 800 homes to be built near Shakespeare's wife's cottage.

Planners at Stratford District Council initially rejected a proposal to build the properties alongside a primary school, health centre and row of shops in Shottery, Warwickshire.

But after developers Bloor Homes and Hallam Land Management appealed the decision, Communities Secretary Eric Pickles overturned the council ruling on Tuesday, which means the homes can be built near the historical home of Anne Hathaway.
