📅👋🏘 SDDC have announced there will be a consultation on the proposed amends to the Local Plan 🏘👋📅
This will take place between 19th October and 30th November. Please keep a look out for communications.
The Parish Council will make every effort to keep residents informed.
🏡🏘You may have already seen the proposed updates to SDDC's Local Plan, which includes some new proposed housing sites across the district. 🏘🏡
THIS INCLUDES A NEW PROPOSED SITE FOR ETWALL OF 120 HOUSES.
When these amended proposals go out for consultation, which they will do, we will do our very best to inform residents as quickly as possible.
Please make sure that if you have a view, you take the opportunity to respond ✍️
The proposals currently being discussed include 10 new housing sites:
🏠 800 homes – Cadley Lane, Castle Gresley
🏠 250 homes – Walton Road, Drakelow
⏩️⏩️⏩️🏠 120 homes – Egginton Road, Etwall
🏠 80 homes – Derby Road, Hatton
🏠 550 homes – Lucas Lane, Hilton
🏠 200 homes – Primula Way, Littleover
🏠 17 homes – Old Etwall Road, Mickleover
🏠 75 homes – Mount Pleasant Road, Repton
🏠 100 homes – Etwall Road, Willington
🏠 50 homes – Kingfisher Way, Willington
That is a significant amount of additional housing, and a significant amount in and around Etwall.
Whilst we need housing, the housing needs to be appropriate and properly supported by infrastructure.
For Etwall, some of the key concerns for any proposed development are;
🚗 Traffic impact on our already stretched road network
🚗 SPEEDING issues exacerbated by more cars, more frustrated drivers not able to navigate the road network properly
🏫 School places over subscribed and surpassing appropriate capacity
🏥 Inadequate health care provision
🌳 Health & wellbeing decline due to loss of open space and rurality
🐦 Loss of wildlife and vital ecosystems
As soon as the Parish Council receive any further information we will ensure to share.
