Initial plans submitted for housing on green belt

A housing developer has signalled its intent to build up to 240 homes on green belt land in Derby.

Bloor Homes has submitted documents to Derby City Council asking whether an environmental impact assessment (EIA) is required as part of a planning application for a housing development on land off Locko Road in Spondon.

An EIA sets out the likely environmental impacts of a project and how they can be mitigated.

In planning documents, the developer said the proposed housing development would have "significant open space" and would retain trees where possible.

The developer's website states 45% of the homes provided in the proposed development, which would include a children's play area, would be affordable.

In planning documents, the developer said it intended to submit a planning application for the proposed development.
