Proposed housing at Froghall would permanently block the Uttoxeter Canal restoration

A planning application has recently been submitted for land directly south of the basin at the start of the Uttoxeter Canal in Froghall. This application puts 49 new houses between the basin and nearby A52. Based on the information provided we can confirm that, if approved, the development would block all possible alignments for the canal through Froghall, and would permanently end our ongoing project to restore the Uttoxeter Canal.

Uttoxeter Canal Mileposts

The Trust has reinstated 11 missing mileposts along the line of the Uttoxeter Canal. You can now use these to guide you along the line of the canal between Oakamoor and Uttoxeter in our downloadable walking trail.
