Spatial Growth OptionsSpatial Growth Options
||The "Area Based Spatial Growth Options" consultation builds on the Issues and Options consultation carried out earlier this year and sets out a proposed spatial vision and spatial objectives along with a number of possible options to enable the Council to deliver the growth required for the District. The options are split into the three main areas of the District, these areas are:
- Hucknall;
- Sutton-in-Ashfield / Kirkby-in-Ashfield; and
- Villages (Selston, Jacksdale and Underwood).
After this document has been through public consultation the District Council will commence preparation of the "Preferred Options" document which will identify the Council's preferred policy options and locations for future growth. It is anticipated that public consultation on the Preferred Options will commence early in 2010.
The consultation for the Spatial Growth
Options took place between 26th October and 30th November 2009.

Spatial Growth Options for Sutton and Kirkby
OPTION KS1 – Focus Growth on Major Urban ExtensionsThis option would involve the allocation of two large urban extensions; Site A - to the west of Kirkby-in-Ashfield (south of the A38) and Site B - to the east of Lowmoor Road, close to Sutton Parkway Station. The sites are both located within the 'Countryside' designation of the current Local Plan and are outside of the Nottingham-Derby Green Belt. The sites combined could accommodate up to 4,000 dwellings. The remainder of the housing requirement set out in the Regional Plan would be delivered through smaller extensions to the existing Main Urban Area, as well as a proportion in the villages of Selston, Jacksdale and Underwood, as appropriate and as set out in the SHLAA. | |
OPTION KS2 – Spread Development Throughout Kirkby & SuttonThis option would involve allocating housing on a mixture of the sites highlighted in the diagram opposite. This could include development on a mix of all or some of the sites A to H. The sites are located either in the 'Countryside' or Green Belt. The sites identified in the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) would also be delivered according to the timescales suggested as well as a proportion in the villages of Selston, Jacksdale and Underwood, as appropriate. | OPTION KS3 – No Growth in the Green BeltThis option would ensure that no major changes are made to the existing Green Belt boundary and that all development be directed to the east and north west of Kirkby and around Sutton. Under this option development could be undertaken on a mix of all or some of the sites A to G. It would exclude area H. |
