LOCAL CENTRE SITE, WOODVILLE, Swadlincote, DERBYSHIRE

Description

The Local Centre site forms part of a mixed-use development scheme with other component sites consisting of residential and employment uses. The Local Centre site is located on the western half of the development scheme and extends to approximately 3.53 gross acres (1.43 gross hectares) or thereabouts.

The Local Centre site is predominantly made up of a grass meadow. Directly along the eastern boundary is the Woodville Regeneration Route with its southern and northern boundaries bounded by its planned access roads. The east of the development scheme consists of the residential sites R1 and R2. The sale of R1 has recently completed and a Reserved Matters planning application submitted. The marketing of site R2 has commenced with bids due in November 2022.

The Local Centre site is directly accessed via the recently completed Woodville to Swadlincote Regeneration Route (WSRR), which is a one kilometre bypass through the development scheme from the A514 through to Occupation Lane. The WSRR bisects the development scheme into having the employment and local centre/retail uses to its west and residential use to its east.

The WSRR will also provide connectivity to further employment areas, which will need to be incorporated into the development of the employment site as per the masterplan.
