00:30 were arrested on the same evening on suspicion of assault. They have been released on police

00:46 MP Mark Fletcher says that opposition to the proposed Clown Garden Village housing development

00:53 cannot be ignored by Bolsover District Council. The authority is currently considering Waystone's

00:58 planning application for the Clown Garden Village housing scheme, which would see them

01:02 build 1,800 properties with 24 hectares of green felled land, as well as community and

01:08 commercial facilities between Clown and Bulborough. MP Mr Fletcher says that the planning application

01:14 has attracted hundreds of objections, with 1,300 people signing a Clown Garden Village

01:19 Action Group petition against the idea, and he added that his own survey has found that

01:24 95% of 276 residents who answered his questions said that they were opposed to the development

01:30 as well.
