Feedback received from the Local Plan options consultation is summarised and presented in the two documents listed at the end of this page:

The documents are:

• Report of feedback from drop-in events
• Options consultation - summary of responses

Last year's consultation sought local peoples' views on options for a number of key issues for the Local Plan:

• Housing requirements – How many new homes should be provided across High Peak up to the year 2028?
• Sub area housing requirements – How should the new homes be distributed around each of the three sub areas of Glossopdale, the Central Area and Buxton?
• Potential housing development sites – Which of the housing site options should be identified in the new Local Plan for new housing?
• Other development issues - Where should new businesses be located? Which areas should be identified for leisure or recreation or be protected from development?  How should we plan for key sites and town centres?
• Possible changes to policies
