Belper Civic ForumThe Civic Society of Belper and Milford in Derbyshire

On Monday 22 February, Amber Valley Planning Board failed to adopt the proposed Development Brief for the Meadows Edge site.  This may have been due to the call for a judicial review on the consultation process which we understand has been made by Friends of the Earth lawyers.  Civic Forum committee member Stephen Heathcote pointed out at the meeting that although the Council had listed representations made on the Brief document at its various stages so far, they had failed to provide the legally necessary statement explaining how the Brief was shaped and who had been consulted

Amber Valley Borough Council meets on Monday 22nd February at 7pm, Ripley Town Hall, to decide whether to adopt the final version of the development brief for the Meadows Edge site in Belper.  This is a public meeting - members of the Civic Forum are intending to speak, and the latest submission we have sent to the Council is attached here.

IMPACT OF NEW NATIONAL PLANNING POLICY ON BELPER’S MEADOWS EDGE
OPEN LETTER TO AMBER VALLEY BOROUGH COUNCIL
 

Amber Valley Borough Council has disappointed all those who were hoping that their planning brief for the Derwent Street/ Meadows Edge site would include firm guidance on the size of new buildings.
