section 106

A major housing development of 250 new dwellings in Ebbw Vale was backed by Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council this week (3 December) – for the second time.

The Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman has ordered Warwick District Council to pay a local wildlife group £1,000 because it failed to consider properly the effect a development might have on local wildlife when it approved a planning application.

Warwick District Council has granted outline planning permission for up to 2,500 homes and 4,000 square metres of mixed-use floor space.

Derby City Council has granted outline planning approval for up to 800 homes and full planning permission for 245 homes.
