Planning for Places

In a previous consultation ‘Your Neighbourhood: Talk To Us’, the District was

divided into 11 areas which have been carried forward from that

consultation through and into this Draft Local Plan.

Each of the 11 areas contains a brief description of the area, sets out a

vision and objectives and gives a summary of the Draft Local Plan policies

that relate to each area. An A3 map has been produced to illustrate the

proposed policies, in particular the locations of proposed strategic

employment and housing sites.

For individual maps showing the locations of the proposed strategic

housing sites, please see Chapter 5.

INTRODUCTION

151

Page 4: South Derbyshire Draft Local Plan - chapter 10 areas 5 11

Description

This is a rural area containing a large key settlement, Hilton, and several

other smaller villages, including Church Broughton and Scropton. The A50

trunk road, Derby – Crewe railway line and River Dove pass through the

area.

Hilton has experienced substantial growth over the last two decades and

is now the second largest settlement in South Derbyshire. Although the

village plays host to a number of community facilities, including a village

hall and some retail provision, the extent of these amenities has not

matched the scale of residential expansion. The Hilton primary school

and John Port Academy at Etwall, which serves the area, have both

been extended to a considerable degree but offer little spare capacity.

Hilton Business Park seeks to balance the housing growth with

employment provision and has been partly redeveloped to provide

business units of varying sizes. The remainder of the site is largely used for

storage and distribution purposes and is being made available for further

redevelopment to meet the needs of modern business occupiers.

Dove Valley Business Park, at Foston, has been successful in attracting

industrial and warehouse occupiers, largely as a consequence of

providing direct access to the A50. Plots remain available and land to

the north offers the potential to accommodate large-scale end users

when suitable sites cannot be found elsewhere in the district.

The remaining settlements in the area are generally too small to support

many services and facilities and are also poorly served by public

transport, although efforts have been made to address this in recent

years through the introduction of a twice-weekly demand responsive bus

service. The accommodating planning policy stance on farm

diversification has enabled the provision of small scale business

accommodation at a number of sites.

A multi-user greenway connects Hilton to Etwall and Mickleover, whilst a

further cycle route connects Marston-on-Dove to Hatton.

There is a need for the provision of formal lorry parking and overnight

facilities in the area and planning consent has accordingly been granted

for such development at a site in Foston.

There is also a need to upgrade some local infrastructure in order to

support new development and meet the needs of local residents,

including improved electricity and broadband capacity.

The area contains a Site of Special Scientific Interest at Hilton Gravel Pits.

Description

The Hatton area covers just the settlement of Hatton itself and is the

smallest area that we have identified. Hatton is a key service village

surrounded by a rural setting. Facilities include a primary school, post

office and local store. The adjacent village of Tutbury, in East

Staffordshire, also offers many services and facilities.

The major employer in the village is Nestle, whose premises are

undergoing major expansion, whilst the nearby Station Yard industrial

estate accommodates a number of small to medium sized businesses.

Hatton is served by a railway station, which offers regular services in the

directions of Derby and Crewe. A multi-user trail connects the village to

the nearby settlement of Marston on Dove. There is local concern about

the number of lorries using Station Road (A511) which is the main route

through the village.

Hatton has its own Primary School, Heath Fields and falls within the John

Port Academy, Etwall normal area for secondary education, which

currently offers little spare capacity in terms of student numbers.

The River Dove passes along the southern boundary of the village and, as

a consequence, the area is susceptible to flooding. To address this,

existing flood alleviation infrastructure is being upgraded.

Description

This predominantly rural area contains the Key Village of Etwall, a number

of other smaller settlements and suburban development on the Derby

fringe. The A38 passes to the east whilst the A50 and the Derby-Crewe

railway line cross through the area which offers important transport

infrastructure for the area. The River Dove passes through the southern

part of the area, which has high flooding potential, although alleviation

measures are currently being upgraded.

John Port Academy is a secondary school that is within the village and

serves the wider surrounding area. The school is the largest school in

Derbyshire and currently offers little spare capacity in terms of student

numbers. Among the other facilities in the village are a leisure centre and

library.

Toyota’s UK assembly plant is situated at the A38/A50 junction which is the

largest employer in the Etwall area. There is also a warehouse and

distribution site within the areas. The presence of strategic transport

infrastructure in the area has attracted significant interest from potential

business investors.

The area has seen new residential development over the past decade at

the former Pastures Hospital site in Mickleover.

A number of cycle routes pass through the area including the Hilton to

Mickleover multi-user greenway, National Cycle Route 53 and the Pennine

Cycleway.

There are three conservation areas within the area at Etwall, Thurvaston

and the length of the Trent and Mersey Canal. Radbourne Hall, set in the

very much rural landscape to the northern part of the area, is a Grade 1

Listed Building.

Settlements in the rural north of the area are generally too small to support

many services and facilities and are also poorly served by public transport,

although a twice-weekly demand responsive bus service serves the area.

Description

The area is rural in character and contains the two key service villages of

Willington and Findern. The A38 defines the western boundary, whilst the

northern area borders the suburbs of Derby. The A50 crosses the area,

with a multi-tier junction and roadside service area where it meets the

A38.

The Derby-Birmingham railway line passes through, connecting to the

Derby-Crewe line and Donington freight line. Willington benefits from the

presence of a railway station, although services are relatively infrequent.

The Trent and Mersey canal, a conservation area, connects to the Mercia

Marina, the largest inland marina in the country when first built. Part of

the village of Willington is vulnerable to flooding from the River Trent,

which represents the southern boundary of the area. Former gravel

workings lie to the south west of Willington.

The most prominent features in the landscape are the former Willington

Power Station cooling towers, which will be removed when a new gas

fired power station is developed on the site.

Description

The area predominantly rural in character, but also includes suburban

development on the fringe of Derby at Sinfin. The A50 crosses the area to

the south of Sinfin, whilst the Birmingham-Derby passenger railway line

passes to the west and the Donington freight railway line passes from

west to east.

The Trent and Mersey Canal, a conservation area, also passes through

the area, the pub and marina at Stenson Bubble being a popular local

destination. A further conservation area has been designated at the

small village of Twyford. The southern boundary of the area is largely

defined by the River Trent.

The residential area at Sinfin is served by frequent bus services to Derby

City Centre and local shopping services and facilities are available at the

district centre, just within the city boundary. The main route into Derby is

Stenson Road, which experiences congestion at peak times, particularly

at the signal-controlled railway bridge. On the fringe of Sinfin, a new

strategic housing development is currently under construction.

Overview

The area has a predominantly rural feel to it though the area does adjoin

Derby City along its northern boundary. The A50 trunk road crosses the

area from east to west, with a spur heading northwards toward the A6 and

A52. The southern boundary of the area is defined by the River Trent and

much of the area around the Trent is susceptible to flooding. A large

proportion of the north east part of the area forms the southern boundary

of the Nottingham-Derby Green Belt. The area contains the key village of

Shardlow and a number of other small settlements.

Aston area contains various heritage assets including conservation areas at

Shardlow, Aston-on-Trent, Barrow-on-Trent and along the length of the Trent

and Mersey Canal. The route of the former Derby Canal, now a local

wildlife site, extends northwards from Swarkestone into the city. There are

also historic parks and gardens at Swarkestone and Elvaston. Swarkestone

Causeway, which extends southwards across the Trent floodplain,

represents a scheduled Ancient Monument and follows an alignment not

suited to the volume and mix of traffic using it. A proposal to address this

issue is included on a list of potential schemes for further assessment in the

Derbyshire Local Transport Plan.

The area is within reach of business and industrial areas in Derby City and

within Leicestershire, such as East Midlands Airport and the East Midlands

Distribution Centre. To a large extent, the area is reliant on retail and other

services and facilities in Derby and other settlements outside the area.

National Cycle Route 6 passes through the area, connecting to the

network of cycle routes within Derby City.

Overview

The area is rural in character, containing the Key Service Village of

Melbourne and a number of smaller settlements. It contains many

heritage assets including numerous listed buildings, conservation areas at

Melbourne and Stanton by Bridge and a historic park and garden at

Melbourne Hall. The area lies partly within the National Forest and also

contains the Staunton Harold Reservoir.

Melbourne contains the second most important shopping centre in the

district and a small industrial estate. The area is also attractive to tourists.

Close by, but beyond the South Derbyshire boundary, lays the important

employment sites of East Midlands Airport and the East Midlands

Distribution Centre.

The A514 connects Melbourne to Derby via the Swarkestone Causeway,

a scheduled Ancient Monument that follows an alignment not suited to

the volume and mix of traffic using it. Options have been considered for

the development of an alternative route and the Derbyshire Local

Transport Plan includes the proposal on a list of potential major schemes

for further assessment. National Cycle Route 6 runs to the north east of

Melbourne connecting to Derby and rural Leicestershire.

Overview

The area is rural in character, containing the Key Service Village of

Repton and several smaller villages. The River Trent, with its broad

floodplain forms the northern boundary of the area.

The settlements in the area are predominantly residential in character

with few established business premises. New development has been

relatively limited over recent decades.

Within Repton village, Repton School, with its many buildings and playing

fields, is a prominent physical presence.

The smaller villages support few services and facilities and Smisby, Ingleby

and Milton are not served by public transport.

The area is notable for its concentration of heritage assets including

numerous listed buildings, six conservation areas at Newton Solney,

Repton, Bretby, Ticknall, Milton and Smisby and two historic parks and

gardens at Bretby Hall and Calke Abbey. The latter, a National Trust

property, represents a significant tourist destination. The southern part of

the area lies within the National Forest.

Part of the countryside to the south of Bretby falls within the area of

Green Belt separating Swadlincote from Burton-on-Trent.

Overview

This area comprises Woodville, which forms part of the Swadlincote urban

area, and the predominantly rural area to the north and east, containing

the villages of Hartshorne, a local service village and Boundary.

Historically, the urban area was important for mining and ceramics

manufacture, which were later joined by other industries, including

engineering and distribution. Mining in the area ceased some time ago,

whilst ceramics manufacturing continued until very recently. Many

industrial sites have been lost to housing development over the past

decade, whilst others have become vacant. Recent housing growth has

been significant, mainly concentrated in and around the Woodville

Woodlands area to the south of the urban area.

The area falls entirely within the National Forest and part of Woodville lies

within the Heart of the Forest, whose aims are to become a major tourist

and leisure destination as part of the National Forest economy.

Woodville itself contains some local facilities, but has a strong functional

relationship with Swadlincote and the employment, shopping, services

and other facilities available there. There are also the nearby towns of

Ashby de la Zouch and Burton-on-Trent which offer additional facilities

and services.

The A511/A514 Clock roundabout junction experiences peak time

congestion, causing trip delays and harming the local amenity.

Undeveloped land to the south of Woodville provides a regeneration

opportunity to be facilitated through the provision a link road that would

provide some relief to Clock roundabout whilst opening up a substantial

area of land for employment led development. The site adjoins the North

West Leicestershire boundary and the Council will consider any growth

proposals in consultation with the neighbouring local authority.

The village of Hartshorne contains facilities such as a primary school and

village hall. It has seen some small scale housing growth in recent years

through the redevelopment of brownfield land. Parking outside the

school on the main road in Hartshorne causes some local traffic

disruption.

The area contains some listed buildings, such as the Clock Garage and

the kilns at the former TG Green pottery.

Overview

Swadlincote is South Derbyshire’s principal administrative and

commercial centre. Although historically important for mining and

ceramics manufacture, these activities have been superseded by other

industries including engineering, retail and logistics.

In recent decades the town has experienced substantial development,

led by a planning strategy that has sought to encourage growth in order

to support the viability of local services and facilities. Most recent housing

development has been concentrated at Castleton Park in Church

Gresley and at Woodville Woodlands, whilst employment growth has

mainly taken place at Tetron Point.

Swadlincote provides for most of the day-to-day needs of local residents,

although it has some functional ties to Burton-on-Trent, for example, in

regard to further education and health care. The town centre, a

designated Conservation Area, has attracted substantial private and

public sector investment in recent years, co-ordinated through the

recently reviewed “Swadlincote Town Centre Vision and Strategy”.

Swadlincote is surrounded by countryside and the area separating the

town from Burton-on-Trent represents designated Green Belt. There has

been significant environmental enhancement in the town, much of

which has resulted from the creation of new areas of woodland with

public access, reflecting the town’s location within The National Forest.

However, the cessation of mining in the South Derbyshire Coalfield has

led to a rise in groundwater levels which, without appropriate

management and treatment, could contaminate local watercourses.

The southern part of the town lies within the Heart of The National Forest

area, which is becoming a major tourist and leisure destination as part of

the forest economy.

The town is not particularly well connected to the wider highway network

although the planned Regeneration Route would go some way toward

addressing this.

Vision

Swadlincote will continue to expand to cater for the needs of South

Derbyshire’s growing population and cement the role of the town as the

focus of employment, retail, services and facilities within the district. This

will be achieved through new development within and around the town,

continued environmental enhancement driven by the town’s location

within The National Forest and improved transport connections.

Objective 1: Meet the housing needs of the area through new

development.

Objective 2: Improve the environmental quality of the urban area,

taking advantage of The National Forest location.

Objective 3: Provide for the employment needs of the urban area .

Objective 4: Improve the diversity and scale of the retail and leisure

offer within Swadlincote Town Centre.

Objective 5: Improve access to leisure, recreation and tourism

opportunities, taking advantage of the presence of The

National Forest and the location of part of the urban

area within the Heart of The Forest.

Objective 6: Secure improved access to Swadlincote by providing

better connections to the wider highway network (see

also Woodville).

202

Page 50: South Derbyshire Draft Local Plan - chapter 10 areas 5 11

Overview

The area is rural in character and contains Key Service Villages, Overseal

and Rosliston, and several other settlements of varying sizes. A large part

of the area to the east represents former coalfield communities.

The area lies entirely within the National Forest, the eastern most part

being within the Heart of the Forest area, and contains tourist attractions

including Rosliston Forestry Centre and Catton Hall. The northern part of

the area lies within the South Derbyshire Green Belt.

Part of the site of the former Drakelow Power Station has planning

consent for mixed use development including housing and employment

uses. Since road connections to the nearby A38 are poor, the

redevelopment proposals will require the provision of a new bypass and

River Trent crossing at Walton-on-Trent. Another part of the former power

station site has planning consent for the development of a new gas fired

power station.

Apart from Castle Gresley, Linton and Overseal, the area is relatively

poorly served by public transport and some settlements are too small to

support any services and facilities. The Burton to Leicester railway line

crosses the area and is used infrequently for freight purposes. There is a

long standing aspiration to establish a passenger rail service on this line

with a potential station at Castle Gresley, although this would not

financially viable at the present time.

There are Conservation Areas at Lullington, Netherseal and Walton-on-

Trent. A substantial part of the area lies within the River Mease

catchment, where the need to protect ecological interests represents a

significant development constraint. The western part of the area is

bounded by the River Trent, and lies within the Central Rivers initiative

area, which aims to secure multi-functional end-uses for former sand and

gravel workings.
