What this consultation is about
North East Derbyshire District Council has been working with the Homes and Community Agency (HCA) to bring forward the development of the former coking site known as The Avenue, Wingerworth. This project has been progressing for approximately 10 years, dealing with site contamination and other significant issues in bringing forward this land for development.
On 13 October 2015, Cabinet agreed to a consultation on the provision of a new school to serve a housing development of around 1,000 houses, known as ‘The Avenue’ Wingerworth. There were two key issues for consultation:
- whether a new school should be provided for the Avenue development
- whether the opening of that school should be delayed until at least 2019, as before that date there are unlikely to be sufficient children living on the new development to justify as new school.

The consultation is now closed. A report was presented to Cabinet 2 February 2016, agenda item eight.
