  • P2LP Track Changed Version
    Part 2 Local Plan 20178 - 2028 Publication Version September 2017 Main Modifications May 2019 Foreword by Chair and Vice-Chair of Jobs and Economy Committee This Broxtowe Part 2 Local Plan is the result of extensive work with local communities to secure the best future for the Borough and provides the detailed development management policies and site allocations to accompany the Part 1 Local Plan which is the Broxtowe Aligned Core Strategy. Its purpose is to take the difficult decisions to provide a clear local framework to secure positive development to enhance the Borough. This includes improving our town and district centres, and providing increased access to public open space whilst protecting the historic and natural environment. It is intended to provide a clear policy framework to enable those preparing their neighbourhood plans to achieve the best outcomes for their own areas. Some of the most significant challenges this plan seeks to address are to ensure access for residents to a high quality safe place to live. This can only be achieved by securing an increase in the rate of housing delivery overall, but in particular on the previously developed sites in the Borough’s urban areas including Chetwynd Barracks. This is done in order to secure the best possible outcome for local residents from HS2, and to ensure that the advantages of close proximity to major centres of employment both within Broxtowe and nearby are utilised to secure an upturn in inward investment in the Borough, particularly in the four town and district centres of Beeston, Eastwood, Kimberley and Stapleford.

  • Volume 4: Spring Walks
    1 Introduction Welcome to our fourth volume of ‘100 Walks from the Poppy and Pint’. This volume contains Spring Walks for you to enjoy now that the lockdown has eased. I hope that you find it useful. You will find 49 walks in this volume bringing the total number of walks in the series to 150! This volume is quite different to the other volumes. These walks have been specially selected from a wider radius of Lady Bay. This gives us more choice, more variety, and the chance to showcase different areas. Most of the walks start within 30 minutes’ drive from the Poppy and Pint and most are relatively short walks of around two to three hours. All have been chosen because they hold one or more points of interest. Moreover, the paths are quiet, they are varied, and all are on good, waymarked paths. This makes them ideal spring walks just after the lockdown. Being out on the trail in the open air anywhere lifts the spirits, is good for the soul, and gives our lives a different perspective. I think we always feel better when we come back from a walk! Do try it and see! This is the fourth volume of walks to complement Volumes One, Two and Three. Unfortunately, it is not possible to put these four volumes into one tome as the subsequent size of the file would be too big to e mail! When I set myself the challenge of researching and creating 100 local walks, I never actually thought it was possible.
