Since taking office in May 2019 the Parish Council has been very active in responding to Planning Applications submitted to South Derbyshire District Council. Our main focus is ensuring that due diligence is evident in the planning process which in turn should assure good housing developments that recognise the current circumstances of the village.
There were 3 sites which were embodied in SDDC's Local Plan Part 2. This means that they were approved to proceed subject to detailed planning.
