Letters sent out regarding large development plans
17 January, 2008
Broxtowe MP Nick Palmer is at the forefront of the campaign alert people to the proposals.
The MP said that the plans include the development of a large proportion of the green area west of Castle College in Chilwell including the tram park-and-ride site, nearly all of Field Farm north of Stapleford, all the space west of the A6002 business park and most of the space between Trowell and Cossall, and all the space between Kimberley, Watnall and Moorgreen.
”Dozens of offers to help”
MP Nick Plamer said: “Many thanks for the dozens of offers to help deliver my letter to constituents to alert them to the proposals: several thousand have gone out, and most of the rest will be going out in the coming days.
“I've also agreed with Paddy Tipping, who has similar proposals affecting Hucknall, that we should try to convene a round-table discussion with planners and the consultants on the issue to ensure that everyone is aware of all the issues.
“I'd stress that at this point there is no reason to write to the council officers as they don't have a single concrete planning application - what we're lobbying for is the consultants to reject the greedier schemes of developers ‘before’ they get to the planning stage.”
