Planning - All interested parties are encouraged to review the representations made by Avison Young in April 2020 in respect of the submission version of the Gaddesby Neighbourhood Plan. This provides a detailed background as to the historic promotion of the land for housing development and the historic proposal for the land to be designated as Local Green Space, which was subsequently struck out of the adopted neighbourhood plan.
