Housing development at Land adjacent to 7 & 8 Slade Close, Etwall

What was proposed

The application concerned a proposed development involving additional dwellings and a housing mix that members said should include bungalows.

“As the Local Ward Member, Councillor A. Kirke supported the concerns raised by Councillor D. Muller, noting that insufficient consideration had been given to the impact on adjacent neighbours and Etwall residents. Councillor Kirke also expressed disappointment regarding the limited community consultation, inadequate regard for infrastructure and amenity issues, the scale of the proposed development, and the failure to address local housing needs.”

“That planning permission be refused contrary to recommendation in the report of the Executive Director – Place and Prosperity due to the scale and form of the proposed development which lacked an appropriate mix of housing, including bungalows, contrary to the latest housing needs evidence for Etwall and Policy H20.”
