The Website of Belper Against Tesco Superstore
Planning Documents Specific to Belper
Right then. The Big One at the moment is
the Amber Valley Borough Council Development
Brief. This is designed to serve as a checklist
of what would and wouldn't be allowed
on the Derwent Street Site. Tesco's own
consultants helped out in its preparation
which, we are assured, is "quite normal". Read
it here.
Have you read that? Did you like it? Here is the submission that B.A.T.S made to Amber
Valley during the consultation process.
This is the last "Belper Healthcheck". Very interesting.
And this is the definition of Belper Town Centre.
And no. Despite what your 15 year-old tells
you, it ISN'T the bench outside Birds.
Finally, a report by Latham Architects on development ideas
for Belper.
Other Local Documents
Here is the Amber Valley Local Development Scheme
from 2007.
And here is the Amber Valley "Statement of Community
Involvement. We need to hold them to this!
This is Amber Valley's Annual Monitoring
Report for 2006. We'll hopefully have
the 2007 report up soon!
Earlier this year, B.A.T.S conducted our
own survey in Matlock on the effects of the
new Sainsbury's and road. Here it is! Read it! It's good!
Also well worth reading is Belper Civic Forum's
Alternative Development Brief.
Campaigning Guides and Resources
The Government recently published the findings of the Competition Commission into supermarkets.
It makes interesting, if dry, reading...
Another Government report, this time from the All-Party Small Shops
Group.
A handy guide to the Kafkaesque muddle that is Planning
Law.
Here's a useful rundown of the issues around
Supermarkets.
Finally for this section, a brief-but-useful
little guide to campaigning.
Posters, etc...
Be the envy of your chums! Time to get rid
of that old Bay City Rollers poster and replace
it with one of our hip-and-stylish TesKong or TesZilla artworks. Looks great in windows!
New Posters!
Based on a series of Wartime posters that
depicted rural scenes to promote the idea
of why we're fighting, here's a couple
of the Belper equivalent: Cricket, and King Street. Enjoy!
