Episode Details

Stoney Stanton’s beloved green space on South Drive is set for development into 31 affordable homes, sparking fierce local opposition. Residents fear plummeting property values—some estimate up to $25,000 in losses—and argue the site’s loss of open space violates the council’s own Local Plan. While real estate experts say such steep drops are unlikely, they concede the green space’s removal will impact nearby homes. The parish council, led by chair Luke Cousin, questions why the land—still registered with Sport England and once home to a football pitch—isn’t repurposed for sports facilities instead. They’re demanding more community input before any official consultation, as the council prepares to sell the land to Morro Partnerships with a planning application expected later this year.
