Great Stall East village - outline planning application granted On Tuesday (25 Aug), our Planning Committee agreed to grant an outline planning application for the village of Great Stall East (identified on the above map), subject to the completion of the legal agreement to secure infrastructure.
The outline planning application includes up to 1,550 homes, two schools (including a 3,000 pupil secondary school that will serve the whole of the NEV), shops and a park and ride facility, making Great Stall East an important piece of the NEV jigsaw.
The village covers more than 86 hectares and a new junction will be built from the A420 to provide access.
The proposal seeks to retain some of the existing trees, to provide sports facilities with the secondary school and a range of play areas for children and young people throughout the development.
The plans include the provision of cycle and pedestrian routes, which will aim to encourage pupils to walk and cycle to school. The park and ride is essential to encourage the use of public transport and will provide connectivity to the town centre through the site to maximise bus services for the new community.
The precise details of design and layout will be approved later through the submission of reserved matters applications.
