The Conservative Borough Councils Draft Local Plan proposes developments in our World Heritage Buffer Zone. Such development would endanger the World Heritage site which is hugely beneficial to Belper and the surrounding environs, for Tourism, economy and our living environment. Belper has a number of brownfield and heritage sites that have been identified by the Belper Neighbourhood plan which would preserve our town and provide the homes we need.

Therefore we the undersigned petition Amber Valley Borough Council to:

“Replace Policies HGS6 and HGS5 of the local plan, the Bullsmoor and the Belper Lane proposals, in their entirety, instead adopting the findings  the AECOM Housing Needs Assessment and the resultant Strategy contained within the NP4B Neighbourhood Plan for Belper Draft 2 Built Environment and Housing document that has been supplied to the Council”.
