Housing on the Moors - Dyson's ?

The previous post was serious. It was making a point that should be developed further, i.e. that landscape that has no obvious attractions is likely to be considered for development.

This threat may be more immediate. Dyson's Ceramics on the Baslow Road directly adjoining the Totley Moor is being prepared for development by a development firm, St Modwen. There will be consultation events - anyway one. For those unfamiliar with the form a 'consultation event' is something that is held in July or August when many people are known to be on holiday. Sheffield Council are past masters of this so will not be in a position to complain (see current library situation).

If this is developed for housing it will eventually mean a green light for all sorts of later infilling. Definitely to be resisted. The consultation event will be on 11th July.
