Richborough Estates the developers are still pushing ahead as if nothing has happened??
The local residents have said no, the local council has said no and made the land priority 4 (Not Suitable for Building), and the wildlife people have said no, and not to disturb the badger set and other wildlife. The land isn't in the new local plan for development and is outside of the Settlement Framework Boundary!
A Pamphlet was sent out this week from Richborough Estates outlining their new plans for the area:
It's important that we tell them what we think as Matlock Residents, you can write or email them here. or visit : www.richboroughestates.co.uk

Good news from the 10th of December council meeting, the Asker lane fields were priority 1 for building on as recommended by the planning office. This was shot down in flames by the councilors and downgraded to priority 4 - Not suitable for development on multiple counts!
The developers can still appeal, but this decision is unlikely to be overturned as the vote was one off unanimous!
In the mean time the application for the Asker Lane fields to become a protected open space are still in progress, so fingers crossed!

November 20th Metting Agenda!
The County Council have just released the agenda for the public meeting on November 20th @ 6.00pm and High Fields School.
Main CC Page
The agenda has two main parts: Agenda
1) To discuss the public consultation about the new development plans
2) To discuss the changes to the old Settlement Framework Boundary (SFB)
1) Basically it's full steam ahead, they have new census data and are recommending that they go with their figures of 4400 new housed by 2028! and a 71% growth in OAPs coming to the area!
2) This is about the proposed changes to the Settlement Framework Boundary from before, not the new plans! As far as Matlock goes it currently concerns Starkholmes and the EXCLUSION of Hall Dale Quarry now to be reconsidered and recommended. The Asker Lane SFB changes will come later with a new proposal!
For your information the Asker Lane Fields whilst not being disused at the point as far as the SFB is concerned are STILL in the proposed development Land!
See Here (Page 16- DD854)
So nothing has changed we still need to keep the presure on to stop the County Council building on our green fields.
Please make a big effort to get as many people as you can to come to this public meeting!
