Conditional outline planning permission has been granted for a major development in Clowne.
Clowne Garden Village will see up to 1,800 residential dwellings and up to 24 hectares of employment development built north of Clowne. It will also include green infrastructure, educational and recreational uses, a retirement village, neighbourhood centre, hotel, restaurant, health and care, and leisure uses.
Permission was granted on 20 August following completion of the S106 legal agreement. There are a number of planning conditions and legal obligations that developers Waystone must fulfil before and during the development phases.
In addition, further detailed proposals for each phase of development will need to come forward in follow up planning application submissions that will build the full picture of the development in time.
Council leader, councillor Jane Yates said: “This development will be a huge change for Clowne and the surrounding areas and we appreciate a lot of people have concerns.
“We have done everything we can to ensure that concerns raised have been addressed through the planning process. We will continue to communicate and consult with the public throughout the development to ensure local people are kept informed.
“The impact this development will have on the district will be a hugely positive one with more resources and better choice of housing for residents.”
