Stand against the 80‑home development on Knightley Road.
Join local action to safeguard our green space, roads, and community.
Central & Country Developments Ltd (CCD) application raises serious issues for Gnosall.
120–160 additional vehicles will worsen peak congestion at village junctions & A518. Narrow footpaths on Knightley Road create direct danger for pedestrians, cyclists, and school children.
GP surgery already at maximum, with long wait times. Schools cannot absorb cumulative impact from 80 new households.
High‑density estate of 80 homes is completely out of character for this rural greenfield asset between Daffodil Drive and Moors Wood.
Loss of mature hedgerows, trees, and semi‑natural habitats that support protected birds and mammals.
CCD wants to piggyback on T&D attenuation pond (40% below required capacity). Increasing surface water load by ~150% will worsen flooding downstream — Gnosall Sports Club, Station Road, Wharf Road.
CCD applied for outline planning permission. Gnosall Parish Council unequivocally supports the application. No solution proposed for the undersized attenuation pond.
The T&D attenuation pond was built with a capacity 40% below what was stipulated by Stafford Borough Council. CCD does not own the land and has not proposed a solution. Increasing surface water load by ~150% will increase downstream flooding on land around Gnosall Family Sports & Social Club, Station Road and Wharf Road.
