The plan came into operation on that date. The adopted plan will form the development plan and the basis for decisions on land use planning for the area of Derbyshire Dales outside the Peak District National Park. The Derbyshire Dales is an area of immense character comprising a splendid landscape of hills and valleys together with a wealth of attractive buildings, open spaces, towns and villages. As Local Planning Authority, the District Council have a great responsibility in discharging our statutory planning functions and it is one which the Council’s members and Officers take very seriously. Through the implementation of our planning policies, the Council seeks to protect and enhance the natural and built environment of the Derbyshire Dales whilst also securing the development of sustainable communities, providing homes, jobs, social and community facilities. At all times, we will endeavour to act in the best interests of the environment, respect the needs of residents, and seek to assist businesses which provide local employment. The policies and proposals contained within this plan will guide and control development and change within the Derbyshire Dales for many years to come.
