Forthcoming events:

Monday 19th November:

Preferred Growth Strategy Drop in Event (St George & Mary Church Rooms - Church Street)

This event relates to the growth plan for South Derbyshire.  This is a very important consultation as the plans involve more homes in Gresley as part of the plans.  There are 400 homes on the preferred plan to be built behind Church Street and near Thorpe Downs Road.

This session was not on the original list of events, but was requested at the Environment & Development Services Committee that one should take place in Gresley during an evening.  We are grateful that thsi request has been granted and encourage people to attend.

Due to the quasi-judicial nature of planning, we will often refrain from making any comments relating to actual planning applications but we will always encourage our residents to attend consultation events and give feedback and thoughts either direct to the Council or to us.

The council staff at the events are very knowledgeable and approachable and should be able to answer all questions.  For more information on the Preferred Growth Strategy and a subsequent link to the very useful blog, please follow the following link:
