Last chance to have your say on proposed Apleyhead employment scheme

Yorkshire-based developer Caddick wishes to hear from the community by Monday regarding its proposed employment hub located on the A57 east of Worksop.

Located near the Apleyhead junction on the A1, the site is allocated for employment use in the adopted Bassetlaw Local Plan. Caddick is seeking the views of the local community prior to a planning application being submitted later in the year.

The planning application will include outline information on the whole site and details of the proposed first phase of development, which would include a large purpose-built distribution facility, with its associated access and infrastructure.

A consultation event was held at Manton Sports and Social Club on Tuesday 3rd September, which offered the community the chance to view the proposals and speak directly with the project team.

For those who were unable to attend the event, the proposals are also available to view and respond to on a dedicated consultation website: apleyhead.co.uk.

Responses are being encouraged by Monday 23rd September at the latest, in order that these can be considered before the application is submitted.

Ian Laight, Major Projects Director at Caddick, said: “We are very grateful to all who attended our community consultation and who have provided valuable feedback up this point, and would encourage anyone who has not yet had their say to do so via our website.

“We want to work collaboratively with the community to deliver this development, which would bring clear benefits to the local area including new jobs and significant economic growth."
