A DECISION ON THE CONTROVERSIAL PLANS HAS BEEN PUT ON HOLD

- By NIGEL SLATER Local democracy reporter

A DECISION to build nearly 100 homes next to the A38 is on hold so legal talks over the plans can be held.

It follows a public disagreement between councillors and officers over a planning application submitted to build 96 new homes on the edge of Littleover.

A decision was due to be made on the controversial plans on land off The Hollow at a Derby City Council meeting on Thursday, November 13.

But it was delayed so legal discussions could be held. Concerned councillors had called for proceedings to be halted on the grounds of “faimess”. The application was submitted by developer Wheeldon Homes last year to build the homes next to one of the city’s busiest roads.
