The designation of the Parish of Quarndon as the Quarndon Neighbourhood Plan Area was approved by Amber Valley Borough Council, following formal public consultation, in July 2016. The designated area is illustrated by the blue boundary in the map below:
The Borough Council is Amber Valley Borough Council.
The County Council is Derbyshire County Council.
If you take a break from mowing over the summer and let your grass grow longer, you may be surprised at the number of wildflowers that appear.
There were more than 10 different flowers on the verge where this photo was taken this July on Burley Lane in the centre of Quarndon village. Shown here are yarrow (white), bird's foot trefoil (yellow), and harebell (blue).
Once part of the Common , and later a meadow, the dry sandy soil of this sunny spot supports a great diversity of plant and invertebrate life.
