GREATER HEANOR

EXTENSION(S) TO THE NORTH OF HEANOR - GH1

 

Pros

• Some of this land is not within the Green Belt

• Comprehensive development of this site has the potential 

   to assist in delivering a long standing commitment to the 

   future provision of a new A610 link road between Ripley 

   and Langley Mill, including a Codnor by-pass.

• The A610 would act as a defensible barrier against any 

   further encroachment into the countryside.

• The site is in close proximity to Heanor town centre

• There are no significant formal landscape or historical 

    designations

 

Cons

• Comprehensive development of this site would involve land 

   in the Green Belt.

• The site includes a Site of Importance for Nature 

   Conservation

• The existing highway infrastructure is poor and investment 

   in improvements would be required
