Welcome Friends and Neighbours. As many of you are aware, a massive development is planned for our village. The site will span 79 hectares (151 acres) in Awsworth, bordering the River Erewash, the A610, the A6096 Shilo Way and the Bennerley Viaduct. It will be a mix of industrial and distribution units.
A glossy leaflet produced by Harworth Group (formerly UK coal) shows the scale of the site (outlined in red).
After the consultation arranged by Harworth at our village hall and after connecting with many of our friends, members of our community and surrounding neighbours, it very quickly became clear that this development is unwanted and will have catastrophically negative impacts on our lives.
In the coming weeks, the planning permission for this development will be made open to the public for consultation. It is vitally important that anyone who has a concern speaks up.
My plan is to create a series of articles on here that outline the issues and concerns regarding this development.
I welcome anyone who also has concerns about the development, who would like to share their thoughts and photos on here, to please email awsworthandneighbours@gmail.com, I will gladly create a post.
