📢 Community Update: Planning Appeal Outcome in Alfreton 📢
We are deeply disappointed by the recent decision on the planning appeal in Alfreton. Despite Amber Valley Borough Council (AVBC) refusing planning permission, the Planning Inspectorate has allowed the appeal, which we believe is a significant loss for our town's character and heritage.
However, we remain committed to protecting Alfreton's unique identity. We're working with consultants to identify and commission an appraisal of the extent and cost to extend the conservation area along with developing a neighbourhood plan to safeguard against future developments. These projects will be allocated funding through the budget-setting process for 2025/2026.
The Town Council has urged AVBC to stick to a promise of prioritising Alfreton and have highlighted the impact of developments on our community. The Town and Borough council must collaborate on these projects and address the concerns. The responsibility for the administration of an extension to the Conservation Area lies firmly with the Borough.
We will also be asking AVBC to identify Section 106 outcomes that align with our community's needs and help preserve Alfreton's character, especially when development takes place in our Town and outlying villages that utilise Alfreton.
This is a challenging time, but we will continue to fight for Alfreton's best interests.
