‘You might as well take green out of Baddeley Green and call it brown’

- Jonathan Sutton jonathan.sutton@reackple.com

CAMPAIGNERS are calling for a rethink on plans to build more than 18,000 homes across the city over the next 15 years.

They met at Baddeley Green WMC, below, to hear more about the proposals and give their feedback.

Stoke-on-Trent City Council is consulting on the draft local plan, which envisages the development of 18,528 homes across the city - of which 5,000 are allocated to sites in the Baddeley, Milton and Norton ward. Under the current plans, large areas of the Green Belt could be built on, including greenfield land next to the Doulton estate in Baddeley Green, which has been subject to a planning application for 138 homes since 2022. Objectors fear that they will ‘destroy’ the area’s identity.
