Here's today's Derbyshire Times video bulletin.
00:03
Concerned residents are being given the opportunity to address a crucial planning meeting
00:08
to help decide controversial plans to build 1,800 homes near two Derbyshire villages.
00:14
Waystone Ltd's planning application for 1,800 homes between Clown and Bulborough
00:20
is due to be considered by Bolsover District Council's Planning Committee on September 17th.
00:25
Hundreds of local residents have objected to the scheme
00:28
over fears that it will lead to overcrowding,
00:31
place a strain on highways health and education services,
00:34
create drainage and flooding problems
00:36
and affect the countryside and wildlife with the potential loss of greenbelt land.
00:41
The Planning Committee meeting is due to start at 9.30am on September 17th at The Ark in Clown
00:47
with additional space being held in Committee Room 1.
00:51
Those who have made representations about the planning application
00:54
and want to address the committee can register at the council's website.
00:58
So can you just tell me why we're here?
00:59
So we're here to protest against the 1,800 houses that Bolsover District Council want to build on the north side of Clown.
01:05
It's going to impact all the infrastructure within the area.
01:08
We're going to need new primary schools.
01:10
We're going to need extensions built into the existing secondary schools.
01:14
The road network can't handle the new 3,500 cars that are going to be on the roads
01:22
and the medical centres are going to be overwhelmed with approximately about 23,000 more appointments every year.
01:29
So this is the action group out telling Bolsover District Council at their full council meeting
01:35
that we don't want the houses building and they need to go away and come up with a better plan.
01:39
As a Bolsover parish councillor, we feel that trouble Bob Brown about.
01:45
We're going to be impacted by all this new housing
01:49
in terms of traffic coming through the village.
01:52
We're already getting another 650 houses down at Maston Moor.
01:56
Another 450 down at Whitlow.
01:58
1,800 houses here.
02:01
It's going to be an absolute nightmare.
02:03
It's terrible at the moment for people trying to cross from that roundabout
02:07
and certainly it's impossible for children
02:10
that are trying to get to school into the village.
02:15
This is really a really, really bad deal for us, certainly for Bolsover.
02:19
God knows what it's going to do for Clown.
02:22
The infrastructure on the roads is terrible now
02:26
and there's going to be no improvement whatsoever.
02:29
So for us it's an absolute disaster.
02:32
I think where Bolsover District Council have now really crossed the line
02:36
and have really I think lost the moral high ground is
02:39
they're allowing the developers to cut the affordable housing contribution from 10%
02:43
to 5% to pay for the roundabout
02:47
and also to make a contribution towards the regeneration project for Clown
02:51
which Bolsover District Council yesterday decided to kill off.
02:55
So not only are we losing 50% of the affordable houses that we would have got
03:01
we're not now going to get any of the improvements to Clown Town Centre
03:04
that would have been happening under the Clown Regeneration Framework.
03:08
Civic Watchdogs have welcomed the auction of a Victorian mansion in Chesterfield
03:12
that has lain empty for 10 years.
03:15
Hurst House on Abbey Crombie Street is a Grade II listed building
03:18
and has a guide price of £375,000 which will be auctioned off on September 26th.
03:24
The house dates back to 1840 and was originally built as a private residence.
03:29
It was occupied by Chesterfield Grammar School from 1928 until 1967.
03:34
Built in a mock Italian style, the building was part of the Duke of Devonshire Estate originally.
03:39
The property has stone wall gardens and stand on a large prominent corner plot
03:43
of 0.4 acres on the corner of Abbey Crombie Street and Sheffield Road in Chesterfield.
