FOREWORD
   
As Chairman of the Development Committee I have closely followed the progress of this, the Borough's latest Local Plan and I am honoured to write this foreword.
Over the past eleven years, since the previous Local Plan was adopted, planning policy has changed and development pressures in the Borough have increased.
The adoption of the plan on the 28th July 2005 represents a major achievement for the Borough Council and I look forward to seeing the proposals being implemented prior to the adoption of the Local Development Framework.
Erewash Borough Council does not stand still and will, over the plan period, evolve and develop. I am conscious that this Local Plan will not be the last word on planning policy for the Borough. Already I can see new forces for change emerging for which we will have to develop new policy responses. But we shall strive to create a balance between living and working, between conservation and change, between traffic and the environment, which makes the Borough the success that it is.
 
Councillor John Fildes
