Dear Neighbour,
The Labour-run District Council, which is responsible for housing and planning, have included Clowne Garden Village - a new 1,800 housing development in the north of Clowne along the A616 & A619 - within the Local Plan.
You can see more about the proposals for yourself on the developers website: https://waystone.co.uk/UK-Sites/Clowne/Master-Plan
We all agree on the need for more housing, but this must be accompanied by investment into our services and infrastructure, so that the local community does not suffer. This development does not pass those tests. Ultimately, Clowne Garden Village is unsustainable and not fit for purpose.
I oppose the Clowne Garden Village development, as I feel it is not sustainable and will exacerbate, not help resolve, existing issues within Clowne.
However, this is a large-scale development (it increases the population of Clowne by nearly 50%) which will impact all residents living in Clowne and Barlborough, so I want to know your thoughts on these proposals.
Best wishes,
Mark
