  • Erewash Borough Council (Richard Green)
    Resources Directorate , Planning & Regeneration Town Hall Long Eaton Derbyshire NG10 1HU Switchboard: 0115 907 2244 E Mail: [email protected] Please ask for: Richard Green Direct Tel: 0115 9072244 x3152 Our Ref: EBC Date: 29 April 2014 Dear Sir/Madam, Aligned Core Strategy Proposed Main Modifications Consultation (Nottingham City, Broxtowe and Gedling). The recently adopted Erewash Core Strategy has been produced in broad alignment with the Aligned Core Strategies of Broxtowe Borough, Gedling Borough and Nottingham City Councils, as the Borough forms part of the Nottingham Core Housing Market Area. Erewash Borough Council believe that working together to prepare broadly aligned strategic policies with the other Greater Nottingham Councils (also including Rushcliffe Borough Council) has led to effective and more joined up planning outcomes, whilst making best use of resources by sharing staff and expertise, whilst also providing value for money by sharing the cost of producing much of the common evidence base. This partnership working has also enabled the Council’s to fulfil their statutory Duty to Cooperate. Erewash Borough Council therefore welcomes the opportunity to comment on this consultation and largely supports these proposed modifications. However, Erewash Borough Council would like to point out in relation to Proposed Main Modifications C259a & C264a that it has yet to make a decision on the merits or otherwise of an extension of the tram route into Erewash Borough. Indeed the recently adopted Erewash Core Strategy makes no reference to this matter and it also did not form any part of the Borough Council’s response to the HS2 Ltd Phase 2 line of route consultation (see attachment).

  • Chapter 4 70 Derby Tall Buildings Study Final Report
    1852 map of Derby CHAPTER 4 70 DERBY TALL BUILDINGS STUDY FINAL REPORT 4 SPATIAL OVERVIEW 4.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter provides a detailed spatial analysis of Derby. This is the foundation of the baseline analysis and demonstrates how Derby functions as a place. The topics covered are as follows: • Historic development • Spatial structure • Land use • Road network • Public transport network • Public open space • Green infrastructure • Topography • Flooding • Development opportunities, and • Character Areas. For each topic, a general overview is provided with an explanation of its relevance to tall buildings. The analysis is presented at two scales, the wider city and the Central Business District, which is the focus of this study. Figure 4.1: Satellite image of Derby 71 4 SPATIAL OVERVIEW 4.2 HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT Figure 4.2 illustrates the spatial growth of Derby from the late 18th Century to present day. The unique character of Derby’s historic environment is the result of momentous shifts in the history of the City, as it evolved from a Roman fort, to a medieval market town, dominated by religious houses and Christian churches, to an industrial centre of international recognition, and during the 20th century to a multi-cultural city of national importance for its part in manufacturing, textile production and engineering. Its industrial base has moved away from the city centre to the south-east and has left a legacy of former industrial pockets of brownfield land close to the city centre. Derby only became a city in 1977, although All Saints Church had become a Cathedral church in 1927.
