We will update our website www.catesby-wealdrise.co.uk on a regular basis as our proposals and our planning application for the site progresses.

Catesby Estates are preparing proposals for a new housing development and public open space.

As part of designing a high quality development we are seeking your feedback on our proposals. We want to work collaboratively and openly with local residents to identify and understand any potential concerns associated with our proposals.

To assist this process, we have prepared initial proposals showing the potential layout of the proposed development including vehicle/pedestrian access points, public open space and green infrastructure.

Your feedback will help shape our proposals before we submit our planning application to the Council.

Comments received could be included in a Statement of Community Involvement document which will be submitted with our planning application. Any comments you make in response to these proposals will not affect your right to comment on the planning application submitted to the Local Authority at a later stage in the process.

Your personal data will not be passed to any other parties.
