Chatsworth Settlement Trustees Submit Planning Application for 650 Homes at Mastin Moor

The Chatsworth Settlement Trustees (CST) have today submitted proposals for 650 new homes on land owned at Mastin Moor, north-east of Chesterfield.

Gillespies produced the Masterplan and Landscape Visual Impact Assessment for the new scheme.

“This development will deliver many benefits to the area,” said Will Kemp, CST’s Planning and Development Manager.  “Not only will it provide new, high-quality homes to buy and rent including affordable housing, but the existing community garden will be doubled in size and 21 hectares of new parkland, play areas and other green spaces will be provided for existing and new residents.

“CST has been working on these proposals since 2011.  A wide range of surveys and reports have informed the masterplan and we’ve liaised closely with the Borough, County and Town Councils to help ensure this development meets local regeneration needs.  We’re grateful to local residents, including the Friends of Mastin Moor; the Woodthorpe Village Community Group and the Mastin Moor Gardens and Allotments, for their feedback and input”.

The outline planning application - submitted to Chesterfield Borough Council - seeks to establish the principles of developing at Mastin Moor before detailed designs are prepared.  

The Borough Council will now seek comments on the application and a decision is expected later this year.
