Councillors raise concerns about people's ability to park on the site of the former pub
Chesterfield borough councillors had been approached to approve plans to convert the vacant Elm Tree InnPlans to convert a former pub into 20 flats have been rejected by councillors who raised concerns over people's ability to park on the site.
But that permission had lapsed, causing the applicant to reapproach Chesterfield Borough Council with a reduced scheme.Councillors felt an inability to park on the site would create problems "Given that there are numerous opportunities for parking within the centre of Staveley and more importantly, because it is in the centre of Staveley there are other modes of transport," he said.However, resident Sarah Kench said she had worked in social housing for 25 years and in her experience, families preferred houses with parking and outdoor space.
