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
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.

HOUSING SITE

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.
SWADLINCOTE AREA 1010

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.

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.
