Housing - Growth Options Consultation up to 2026 (page 1 of 2)

Derbyshire Dales District Council and High Peak Borough Council are preparing a plan for the area up to 2026 known as the Core Strategy. An important part of the Core Strategy will be to plan the future growth of towns and villages across the area.

The East Midlands Regional Plan requires that 10,000 new homes be built in the Peak Sub Region between 2006 and 2026.

After all existing planning permissions are taken into account we still need to identify land for about 3,500 homes in High Peak and 2,500 in Derbyshire Dales over this 20 year period. Some new land may also need to be found to support the local economy. The redevelopment of existing industrial sites will also present opportunities to provide new jobs.

In March 2009 in the Core Strategy Issues and Options we asked which towns and villages should accommodate this growth. The comments we received suggested that the Market Towns and some of the larger villages were the most appropriate locations.

We have been made aware of a range of potential options that may be capable of achieving the level of growth required around the Market Towns and some of the larger villages.

The general locations of these potential development options are considered within this consultation. It is important to note that they do not indicate specific sites, nor the likely scale of development.

The potential options come from suggestions by planners, developers and others during earlier consultation on the Core Strategy and from sites identified as potential development sites in the past.

From the list of options within the Glossopdale area that is listed on the next page, we want you to tell us which of the options you prefer or if there are any other options that you think may be capable of achieving the level of growth we have to meet.

Following this consultation a limited number of options will be included in the Joint Core Strategy – these will be subject to further public consultation in January 2010.
