Alverton in summer

Welcome to the Homepage of the Alverton & Kilvington Parish meeting.

Bottesford Wind Farm - appeal fails.  Application for planning permission refused

Alverton and Kilvington are separate villages located about a mile apart on the northern fringes of the Vale of Belvior.  Even together the two villages are too small to have a parish council and so we have a parish meeting instead.

Kilvington is mentioned in the Domesday Book and must be one of the smallest villages in Nottinghamshire.  By comparison the relative metropolis of Alverton has about 20 houses.

By and large it is assumed that the people who live here do so by choice and appreciate the relative quiet and isolation of the countryside. We are not a suburb of anywhere and hopefully never will be.

Planning applications

There are several current planning applications.  Visit our Planning page for details.

Application for permission to use Staunton Works as a haulage depot

An application has been received for planning permission to change the use of Staunton Works from industrial to a haulage depot.  At a Village Meeting on Wednesay 28th October the members present unanimously voted to oppose the application.

Following our opposition and a large number of written objections from local residents, the Newark & Sherwood Planning Committee rejected the application.  An appeal is now pending and a submission has been made to the Inspector.

The application is for change of use to "storage and associated haulage". In fact this is for a distribution depot pure and simple.  This is a big site and as the application covers the whole site this is a very important application.  The Inspector will decide the matter on the basis of written representations.

VIEW the application, the submission put in by the Parish Meeting and the officer's report to the committee.

Vale Villages in transition

"Vale Villages in Transition" is an environmental group whose aim is to educate and inspire the local community to take action against Climate Change and Peak Oil. Alverton and Kilvington are two of the ‘catchment’ villages for the group.  For more information visit www.valevillagesintransition.org.uk.

Dualling the A52

We have obtained a plan showing the details of the works.  The plan was obtained in November 2009 and could change.
