BELPER

EXTENSION(S) TO THE NORTH EAST OF BELPER- B1

 

Pros

• This site does not lie within the World Heritage Site Buffer Zone

• There are no significant formal environmental, landscape or 

   historical designations

 

Cons

• This would involve development within the Green Belt

• The site is relatively distant from Belper town centre

• It would close further the gap between Belper and Heage, and 

   there are no existing distinct boundaries that could act as a

   defensible barrier against any further encroachment into 

   the countryside

• Without careful design, development of this site could detract

   from the setting of the adjoining grade II listed building 

   Laund Farm and Lodge Farm and outbuildings.
