Object Now! - Proposal up to 250 Houses off The Green Road, Ashbourne

Petition addressed to: Derbyshire Dales District Council Planning Department

We, the undersigned, object to the proposal to build up to 175 or 250 houses on agricultural land off The Green Road, Ashbourne and ask that Derbyshire Dales District Council Planning Committee refuse the planning applications 26/00803/OUT and 26/00802/OUT.

The proposal of either 175 or 250 new houses on agricultural land will add to the existing traffic problems on The Green Road and further into the town. It will have a negative effect on the environment and pollution which is already a major concern in Ashbourne. Please sign, support and share this petition.

Reason

Hallam Land Management Ltd are proposing a new housing development of up to either 175 or 250 properties on agricultural land adjacent The Green Road, Ashbourne. The proposal also includes the demolition of an existing property on The Green Road to cater for access to the development.

The proposal will substantially increase vehicular traffic on The Green Road, therefore, exacerbating existing problems with traffic, especially at peak times. Pollution will also increase in the area based on an average of 1 - 2 vehicles per home, this would mean approximately an extra 400+ vehicles just from the development that will be using The Green Road and surrounding highway network. The extra vehicle movements will increase safety issues for road users and pedestrians, especially children who attend the Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School which is close to the proposal.

It will also decimate endangered wildlife, kill plants and trees during the construction stage. There is also a risk of increased flooding potential from Henmore Brook if existing nearby fields are built on. The change of land use will alter the natural flood plain and increase the probability of proposed and existing properties being affected by excess ground water.

The site is currently an important route for the annual Royal Shrovetide Football which has been played for hundreds of years and is a proud part of the Ashbourne's history. If the development is built at this location it will negatively affect the historic game by limiting the playing area within a housing estate creating ongoing access issues that may impact the game forever.

This petition will be submitted Derbyshire Dales District Council Planning Department once formal planning permission has been sought for this development.

Please object to this proposal and save important agricultural land from being built on, because once it’s gone…it’s gone!

Thank you so much for your support, Brett O'Connell, Ashbourne

Dear Sir/Madam
You are receiving this email because you signed the petition objecting to up to 250 houses being built off The Green Road, Ashbourne.
🚨 IMPORTANT PLANNING UPDATE – LAND OFF THE GREEN ROAD, ASHBOURNE 🚨
We would like to make residents aware that outline planning applications have now been submitted for major residential development on the land off The Green Road, Ashbourne.
The applications are for proposals of either 175 or 250 properties and can be found under the following DDDC planning application numbers:
26/00803/OUT

📢 PETITION UPDATE
A huge thank you to everyone who has already supported and signed the petition opposing development on this site.
We would like to reassure all petition signatories that the petition has been formally submitted to Derbyshire Dales District Council and we are currently awaiting confirmation of acceptance.
However, even if you have already signed the petition, we strongly encourage you to submit your own individual objection to DDDC.
Individual objections are extremely important because they allow residents to raise their own specific planning concerns, including:
• Highway and pedestrian safety
• Increased traffic on The Green Road and surrounding roads
• Pressure on local infrastructure and schools
• Drainage and flooding concerns
• The scale and overall impact of the proposed development on the local area
⏰ CONSULTATION DEADLINE – MONDAY 31 AUGUST 2026
Signing the petition does not prevent you from submitting your own objection. You can – and ideally should – do both.
The petition demonstrates the strength of collective local concern, while individual objections ensure that residents' specific planning concerns are formally considered as part of the consultation process.
👉 Please submit your individual objection before Monday 31 August 2026.
Please also share this information widely with neighbours, friends and other Ashbourne residents. The more people who are aware of the applications and take the time to respond, the stronger the community's voice will be.
120 And Land South Of The Green Road Ashbourne Derbyshire
Applications: 26/00803/OUT & 26/00802/OUT
