The preferred options plan builds on the earlier options consultation held during September and October 2012. It contains policies and identifies sites for development(i) or protection, setting out the Council’s preferred options and explaining the reasons why these options are being suggested. 1.2 Local Plans are seen by Government as key to delivering sustainable development. They should, as far as possible, reflect the aspirations of local communities and should strive to contribute towards their wider social, economic and environmental objectives. The High Peak Local Plan also needs to be consistent with the Government's planning principles and policies as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework(ii), see section 1.22. 1.3 To meet these objectives, this Preferred Options document covers a wide range of issues, including: Housing - setting the scale, distribution and mix of housing to be developed to support a changing population, identifying sufficient land to meet requirements and supporting policies Business - supporting the economy by providing sites for existing and new businesses, supporting the sustainability of town centres and specifying policies that address changing business needs Environment - helping to mitigate climate change and adapt to its effects and conserving the natural and historic environment Health and well being - supporting the needs of local people by enabling opportunities for leisure and recreation Infrastructure - enabling the provision of new infrastructure such as education, transport, health care and water supplies 1.4 This Preferred Options document is accompanied by a draft Sustainability Appraisal Statement, (the full report of which will incorporate an Equalities Impact Assessment), a draft Habitat Regulations Assessment Report and draft Proposals Maps. It is also intended to be accompanied by consultation on the draft Chapel-en-le-Frith Neighbourhood Development Plan, see section 1.12. 1.5 The accompanying Proposals Maps show the sites identified for development in this Preferred Options Local Plan and illustrates the implications of policies such as town centre boundaries - also by showing their location on the map. i outside the Peak District National Park ii www.communities.gov.uk/publications/planningandbuilding/nppf High Peak Local Plan - Preferred Options 3 1 Introduction Background 1.6 Preparation of the High Peak Local Plan is building on previous work undertaken in partnership with Derbyshire Dales District Council to prepare a Joint Core Strategy. Progress on this joint strategy has now ceased. In its place, High Peak Borough Council is working on a Local Plan, due to be adopted in 2014. 1.7 Initial consultation on options for the new High Peak Local Plan took place over a six week period in September and October 2012. Views were sought on a range of options for alternative housing targets for the Borough and for the Borough's three sub-areas of Buxton, Central and Glossopdale. Options also included a long list of potential housing sites and a list of questions concerning other development including employment and retail issues. A total of 1,146 respondents made comments in response to the consultation. 1.8 A report of the consultation feedback received by the Council is available on the Borough Council web-site. This feedback and other evidence was used as a basis for the next stage in the preparation of the Local Plan - the publication of this Preferred Option document. 1.9 This High Peak Local Plan - Preferred Options document sets out draft proposals and policies for consultation. It documents the Council's views on how best to shape the future development of High Peak up to the year 2028 and invites further public comment. 1.10 During spring and summer this year, the Borough Council will undertake further investigation work in relation to the sites and issues set out in this preferred options document, alongside any reasonable alternatives. The views expressed as part of this consultation and the one held in autumn 2012 will be considered and a final Local Plan published in autumn 2013. 1.11 The Local Plan will then be examined by an independent Inspector to ensure that it meets certain tests of soundness. This means that it must identify sufficient sites for development to meet the future needs of the area; these sites must be capable of being delivered and they must be the most suitable. Difficult decisions are being made – if the Council does not produce a plan which makes adequate provision for development in the right place, it will be unsound and the Council will not have full control over where future development takes place in the future. Neighbourhood Planning 1.12 Neighbourhood planning(iii) enables members of a local community to take forward planning proposals for the area in which they live. Neighbourhood Plans are voluntary local planning policy documents that are written and developed by a community, usually led by a town or parish council. In areas without a town or parish council, a Neighbourhood Forum can be established to prepare a plan. 1.13 Once a neighbourhood plan is adopted, it will form part of the Development Plan for High Peak. This means that it will become a major consideration during the determination of planning applications. iii www.highpeak.gov.uk/hp/council-services/local-development/neighbourhood-planning 4 High Peak Local Plan - Preferred Options Introduction 1 1.14 Neighbourhood plans prepared in High Peak should be compliant with the strategic policies of the Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework. Strategic policies are those which are essential to delivering the overall planning and development strategy for the High Peak, such as those that set out the number of homes that should be built. Neighbourhood Plans cannot therefore plan for less development than is required by the Local Plan. However, they may be used to identify sites for development or protection, or provide guidance on matters such as design. In the Parish of Chapel-en-le-Frith, a Neighbourhood Plan is already under preparation. The Chapel-en-le-Frith Neighbourhood Development Plan identifies sites for development and addresses other issues including countryside, infrastructure and transport. As a result, this High Peak Local Plan - Preferred Options document does not include development sites in Chapel-en-le-Frith Parish. It is intended that consultation will take place on the draft Chapel-en-le-Frith Neighbourhood Development Plan, alongside this consultation on the High Peak Local Plan - Preferred Options.

Long-term exposure to air pollution has been shown to reduce life expectancy, due to its impact on cardiovascular and respiratory diseases and lung cancer. Many everyday activities such as transport, industrial processes, farming, energy generation and domestic heating can have a detrimental effect on air quality. The annual status report is fundamental to ensuring the monitoring of trends and identification of areas of local air pollution exposure. The cumulative effect of a range of interventions has the greatest potential to reduce local air pollution and improve population health, as such the annual status report and associated action plans provide an opportunity to engage a range of partners.

  • New Mills Town Council
    Community Conversations Report: New Mills Introduction The purpose of the Community Conversation was to provide an opportunity for New Mills residents to inform the High Peak Borough Council about what they liked and disliked about their area and what their hopes were for the future of their town up to 2026. This discussion was set against the background of previous Core Strategy consultations which had suggested that there could be some growth within New Mills with the extent and siting of any proposal open for discussion. Given the change in government policy on regional plans the High Peak Borough Council saw this is an opportunity to get a better understanding of the views of New Mills residents. A booklet was produced that outlined the key issues facing the borough with regard to increasing population figures whilst summarising the key attributes of New Mills. This was intended to inform the debate on the night and more generally within the community. The session format was deliberately interactive and used group discussions around simple, open questions to elicit a debate about the future of New Mills. It also included the use of a large base map with attendees encouraged to identify areas that were special to them and areas where there could be change. 50 people attended 44 of whom completed a form to tell us their age and economic status. The figures below show the age and working status of those people. 28 women and 16 men completed the forms, 3 of them had children under 18; 50% of them were retired and over 51.

  • Land at Market Street, Buxton
    High Peak Borough Council Land at Market Street, Buxton Heritage Impact Study Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions UK Limited – September 2018 3 © Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions UK Limited Executive summary High Peak Borough Council (hereafter ‘the Council’ proposes to redevelop land at Market Street in Buxton for residential development of up to 40 dwellings (hereafter ‘the proposed development’). The site is located at National Grid Reference (NGR) SK058730 within the historic heart of Buxton, Derbyshire. This report has been produced for the purpose of assessing the potential impact of the proposed development upon heritage assets within the site and the surrounding area. Impacts may occur through disturbance within the site or upon the setting of surrounding assets, changing the way they may be viewed, understood or experienced. Due to the intimate and enclosed character of the Conservation Areas contained within the area surrounding the site there is very limited visibility towards the proposed development form these and their associated individual listed buildings and historic structures. As the site is outside of the designated areas and of a design that is sympathetic to the character of the neighbouring Conservation Areas it will have a negligible effect upon the built heritage of Buxton. There is a potential for as yet unknown archaeological material to be present within the site as identified by the site being contained within the Central Buxton Area of Archaeological Interest and the presence of numerous Historic Environment Records present within the surrounding area. The majority of the site appears to be relatively undisturbed by recent activity with the exception of the current structures that are present and as such if any archaeological remains are present they are likely to have survived in a coherent form.
