00:00Here's today's Derbyshire Times video bulletin.

00:03A Derbyshire man who stabbed his wife multiple times before locking her in their family home

00:08and fleeing the scene has been convicted of attempted murder.

00:12Mark Taylor attacked his partner with such force that the knife he was using snapped

00:16and the 57-year-old then grabbed a second knife and continued to stab her.

00:21He said, this will be the end of you before locking the doors to the house in Baslow and

00:25driving away.

00:26His wife tried to get help by shouting through the letterbox before crawling upstairs and

00:30shouting out of the front bedroom window, managing to catch the attention of a passing

00:34dog walker who alerted emergency services.

00:37Taylor, of Wheatlands Lane in Baslow, denied the offence but was found guilty yesterday

00:41after a trial at Derby Crown Court.

00:44He will be sentenced at a later date.

00:48Outline planning permission has been granted to demolish a petrol station, shop and commercial

00:52garages near Chesterfield and build new homes on the site.

00:55The application for Ladywood Filling Station on Baslow Road in Holymoor Side does not state

01:00how many houses are proposed for the scheme.

01:03An officer's report to North East Derbyshire District Council states that a sensitively

01:07designed redevelopment of the site, currently occupied by a majority of single-storey buildings,

01:12would not impact adversely on the greenbelt.

01:15The officer says that the introduction of two-storey properties, however, may have the

01:18potential to result in the loss of openness in visual terms.
