The proposal for the Hazelwalls Farm development has been formally rejected. This outcome serves as a testament to the community dedication required to protect our local greenbelt. We will remain vigilant to ensure this decision is respected in any future planning discussions.
There are plans to push through planning permission to build around 400 new houses in greenbelt land running from behind the Plough pub and Blounts Drive/Stanway Close, over to Westlands Road, affecting many areas of the Birds estate.
Whilst everyone accepts the need for more housing in Uttoxeter, building in this area, will not only be a disaster for the rural areas affected, but will also put huge pressure on transport, on schools and other parts of the local infrastructure. Putting it simply, there are better places in the Town to build, that will meet the need for housing, without destroying rural habitats and turning what is currently already a busy area of Town into a transport nightmare.
For this reason, we would like you to object to these proposals.
The 27.5 hectare site in the proposals is two parcels of land which has a private property on the south western boundary of Uttoxeter.
The western parcel, which is the larger one, includes several buildings associated with Hazelwalls Farm allowing potential to the site from the B5013 lying to the east, from Westlands Road to the north and from Fennel Close to the north east.
Access to the eastern parcel would be from Sorrel Close to the north.

The feedback regarding the proposed development has been incredibly consistent. We are currently compiling the various concerns about local infrastructure to present to the planning committee.

The momentum surrounding our opposition to the Hazelwalls Farm development has reached a significant turning point. This collective resolve indicates that our concerns regarding local infrastructure and protected land are being recognized by the wider community.

The proposed development hasn’t followed the due process expected of the local planning department where building outside the settlement boundary into greenfield space had not been allowed to be discussed in depth. Listening to the previous planning meeting minutes a lot of detail was whitewashed over

This is an unbelievable insult to the people of this once lovely rural town - and in any case, it’s high time the eyesore of derelict land left behind by the demolition of Bamford's works (& subsequently JCB) was put to good use instead.

I object to building on designated green belt land. Also the extra traffic generated in the close vicinity of the A518 and the B5013 road junction would be a danger to all road users.

This Hazel Farm development is only a part of a much larger plan to develop up to 3500homes in and around the town. far too many homes the town will lose its identity and its culture. all new proposals should form part of a large consultation with the towns people

This is a poor choice for a housing development due to the poor infrastructure and access routes. In addition there will be an increased risk of flooding on the existing housing development downstream.

The site is not appropriate for many reasons including a lack of suitable road access, no employment opportunities in the town, insufficient secondary school places, loss of greenbelt and associated wildlife habitats. I also believe access to this site is deeply flawed.

I strongly object to this development and particularly to the plan to build outside the Settlement Boundary. There is no good reason to allow any developer to be given permission to build outside of the designated areas
