Tell Us About Your Place
We are asking for your help to understand what you think about places in North Lanarkshire. What you tell us will help shape North Lanarkshire’s Local Development Plan to plan how we use land around us in the future.
This survey will allow us to get your views on your place. It is based on the Place Standard and covers a range of topics, including homes, recreation, access, transport, employment, and services. It asks what is good about where you live now and what could be done differently. Your answers will help us prepare our next Local Development Plan.
Place survey launching a survey to gather community feedback on local issues for the new plan. The survey can be found here.
The survey will close on 31 January 2025

DORLIN ROAD *** GREENBELT SITE *** PLANNING APPEAL
​
​

​
​
​
NOW is the time to make representation to this Appeal by Miller Homes who want planning permission to build 300 houses on the greenbelt site at Dorlin Road, Cardowan, Stepps. The numbers seeking dismissal of this appeal will be very important for Stepps. It would be great if you can share this with friends, family and neighbours. Here are bullet points to use. You can also add your own.
​
*****
Miller Homes Ltd: Appeal PPA-320-2151: The site to the south of Dorlin Road, Cardowan, Stepps, G33 6AP.
I seek dismissal of Appeal PPA-320-2151 by the Reporter. I take issue with Miller Homes’ arguments in their appeal statement. These contradict and dispute both the current North Lanarkshire Council Local Development Plan and Proposed Plan Examination Report which state that:
​
-
the site is located within land designated as greenbelt.
-
the site makes a positive contribution to the function of the greenbelt in this locality.
-
the site is not allocated for housing development by North Lanarkshire Council.
-
there is no necessity to identify additional land for housing in this area.
-
North Lanarkshire Council has a sufficient supply of effective five-year housing land available to meet the housing land requirement.
-
there is no shortfall in North Lanarkshire Council sites for housing land.
-
the North Lanarkshire Council Proposed Plan need not be altered.
