This website has been created to highlight the very real threat the village of Castle Donington now faces - the destruction of our village community and its countryside.
The Park Lane Action Group has been formed to object to the development of land adjacent to Park Lane by Miller homes and Clowes Developments. This MAJOR development will have DETRIMENTAL impacts on OUR community:
• 975 new houses in addition to 500 new homes already approved (c.55% increase to Castle Donington)
• Destruction of arable land, open spaces and wildlife
• Strain on public services
• Potential increase of HGV traffic in our area
This will by no means be the last development plan for the village. There is a real danger that the majority of agricultural and forest land within the village will be handed over to developers for industrial and residential use. We must all act now and object to this wanton destruction of our village and that of the countryside. We urge you to lodge your objections to this application to North West Leicestershire District Council by February 28, 2010, by either:
• emailing them at: development.control@nwleicestershire.gov.uk. quoting ref.: 09/01226/OUTM
• writing to NWLDC, Council Offices, Coalville, Leicestershire, LE67 3FJ quoting re.: 09/01226/OUTM
• or visiting www.dontdestroydonington.co.uk to learn more about Park Lane Action Group (PLAG)
