EVENTS
NEW PLANNING APPLICATION
JGP Properties have resubmitted their planning application to build up to 150 houses on the field behind Chaddesden Wood.
If this happens, the wood will be completely surrounded by houses and the natural corridors to the open countryside beyond, will be blocked for the many bats, birds and small creatures that live and nest in the wood.
The application is almost identical to their previous one, but many documents appear to have been updated, at least in terms of their submission date.
​
To place an objection to this development, please click this shortened link: https://bit.ly/DCC-Planning, to go to the City Councils ePlanning page.
​
Our response to the Planning Application is on our News page now.
​
Objections must be submitted by Tuesday 20 August
