Core Strategy Consultation

To shape the way for new development in High Peak until 2026

The discussion paper is the first step in preparing a new plan, which will shape the way in which new development will take place in High Peak Borough over the next 20 years. The new plan will be known as the Core Strategy and is part of a series of planning documents, being produced as part of the High Peak Local Development Framework.

The purpose of this discussion paper is to gather your views and opinions about what types of issues exist in the High Peak, and how they might be addressed in very broad terms.

Consultation for the discussion paper began on Thursday 8 November 2007, and will run until Friday 25 July 2008. We encourage you to make your comments within this time.

The discussion paper is divided into the following sections:

Housing – how and where we live
Jobs and the Economy – making a living in the High Peak
Transport and Access – connecting people and places
Climate Change – tackling global warming
Regeneration – improving what we have
Buildings and Landscape – protecting our environment

The discussion paper will guide the first of a series of consultation that will take place during the preparation of the new plan for the High Peak.

PLEASE NOTE:

The timetable featured in Section 9 of the Discussion Paper is no longer valid. Within our revised schedule, we are now due to begin the Issues and Options stage of the Core Strategy in January 2009. The Preferred Options stage will follow in October 2009 with a Submission target of March 2010.

Whilst submitting responses online, please be aware the Agree/Disagree options will not be relevant to all questions, but need to be ticked in order to complete the representation. It will be ignored when we consider your comments on those questions where the Agree/Disagree options are not relevant. Your written comments provide the main focus for consideration by the Council.
