Planners diss Hanley Grange (again)

The SCDC planning boffins have looked at all the sites offered up for future development, including the old eco-town/sneako-town Hanley Grange.
Their assessment puts the boot in on Hanley Grange viz.,
"New settlement east of A1301 and west of A11. Significant heritage, landscape & townscape impacts. SSSI & potentially protected biodiversity. Air quality & noise from traffic. Highways impact only manageable if development is self contained. Significant utility upgrades needed."
