PetitionAgainstHousingDevelopmentsinSwanwick

We the undersigned call upon Amber Valley Borough Council to withdraw the follow-

ing sites from the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment.:

GA5 - extension(s) to the south west of Swanwick

GA4 - extension(s) to the north west of Swanwick

We feel the regeneration of brownfield sites should be the priority. Swanwick has un-

dergone significant housing development over the years and has twice the borough

average housing density.

Following the identification of two potential areas for the development of 500 homes off

Derby Road in Swanwick an emergency meeting was held at the Centenary Centre in

Swanwick.

Following this meeting a petition was formed with the support of the Swanwick Parish Coun-

cil and Villagers have been going house to house to give the people of Swanwick the oppor-

tunity to lend their signature to the 1,800 which were handed to Amber Valley Borough Coun-

cil this month.

The petition states the following:

If you would like to sign the petition please contact any of the following :
