Call for possible housing sites

Date: 27/02/2008

Three Derbyshire local authorities want people to suggest sites and buildings suitable for possible future housing development.

The information will help Derbyshire Dales District Council, High Peak Borough Council and the Peak District National Park Authority to create new planning policy to meet the future housing requirements of the area.

The three authorities have commissioned consultants EKOS, with Arup, to undertake a preliminary assessment of the suitability of land and buildings. They are calling on local residents, parish councils, developers and landowners to identify all land and buildings that they consider have potential for residential development.

To suggest a site, people need to fill in a site suggestion form. These are available here:

The form is also available from the three authorities' main offices in Buxton, Chinley, Glossop, Bakewell and Matlock.

The form must be completed and returned to:
