Growing the Value of the Visitor Economy 9 7. Priorities and Actions 12 8. Measures of Success 14 2 1. Introduction A strong visitor economy is important to the economic health of the Derbyshire Dales. Generating an estimated £315m in visitor spend it provides employment, offers business opportunities and helps sustain local services – but there is room for growth. To grow the value of the sector visitors need to be encouraged to spend more when they come. Promoting the special qualities of the Dales, improving the visitor ‘welcome’, providing better experiences and working towards a higher value visitor offer will help achieve this. This plan takes its lead from the District Council’s Economic Plan. Drawing on the area’s distinctive rural offer, proximity to urban markets and already high visitor numbers (relative to other Derbyshire districts), the aim of the plan is: AIM: To develop a higher value visitor economy in the Derbyshire Dales Doing everything needed to achieve this aim is a ‘big ask’ of the District Council and is not the purpose of this plan. Rather, within the context of available resources, effort will be focused on three priorities where District Council intervention can make a difference, complementing and adding to the activities of our partners and other stakeholders: PRIORITIES: 1. Support businesses within the visitor economy to exploit key markets and supply chain opportunities 2.

  • SECTION of CROMFORD and HIGH PEAK CANAL RAILWAY Proposed
    PLANNING & DEVEL. SERVICES H.E.R. STATEMENT : SECTION OF CROMFORD and HIGH PEAK CANAL RAILWAY Proposed Residential Development on land at Gisborne Yard, Old Road Whaley Bridge, High Peak [Outline Planning Application with all matters reserved] Peter D. Dalton BA (Dunelm) MRTPI, BSc Architectural Technology, MSc Technical Architecture 18th February 2013 The Application and the Historic Route of the Canal Railway A section of the route of the former Whaley Bridge canal basin to Cromford canal railway (referred to as the Cromford and High Peak railway) runs north south through the application site close to the eastern boundary. The features which have been identified as important to protect are :‐ a) the (buried) track bed which forms the access road along Caldene Terrace and continues through the Yard close to the eastern boundary b) the retaining wall along the eastern boundary and c) the buried tunnel/bridge beneath the Buxton to Manchester railway line (see Appendix 1 : Extract from the Monument Report compiled and supplied by Derbyshire County Council, Conservation Officer). The speculative scheme illustrated in the design and access statement demonstrates that a scheme for the residential development of the land at Gisbourne Yard could be achieved without compromising the route of the original canal railway or any of the features in the Monument Report (see Appendix 1). Recommendations in regard to the treatment of these features are made in the Statement. The Policy Famework The Saved Local Plan Policy relevant to the application is:‐ Policy 25 BC10 - ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND OTHER HERITAGE FEATURES Planning Permission will not be granted for development which is likely to result in harm to a Scheduled Ancient Monument or other nationally important site, its setting or amenity value.

  • Wirksworth Neighbourhood Plan
    WIRKSWORTH NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2015 - 2028 June 2015 Alison Clamp, Town Mayor 2014-2015 “Wirksworth is a special town, it will continue to grow and change. This Neighbourhood Plan guides that growth and change so that we keep what is special but improve our town for all who live and work here. ” A NOTE ON THE DERBYSHIRE DALES LOCAL PLAN CONTEXT The Plan’s relationship with the development plan is important, and is set out in statute, regulations and Government policy. The development plan for the area including Wirksworth consists principally of those policies of the Derbyshire Dales Local Plan, adopted by the District Council in 2005, that were “saved” by the Secretary of State in his direction of November 2008, together with the related explanatory text. Those are here referred to collectively as “the Local Plan”. This Plan is to be in general conformity with the strategic policies in the Local Plan – as well as guidance from central Government, EU obligations, and the need to achieve sustainable development. This relationship is explained in the Evidence and Explanations document that accompanies this Plan. This Plan has also been prepared in the light of the emerging Replacement Local Plan, and in particular the pre-submission draft of that plan produced in June 2013, to which there are many references through this Plan (as “the 2013 Draft Local Plan”). That draft was withdrawn in October 2013, but is likely to re-emerge in a broadly similar form in 2015 or 2016; and it is now unlikely to be adopted soon. Because the set-back is due to concerns that the 2013 Draft Local Plan may not have identifed sufcient housing land, and there seem to be no other major concerns, it is likely that the policies in the replacement Local Plan, when it re-emerges, will prove to be similar to those in the 2013 draft (except that there may be more housing sites) – although they may be subject to further change in the course of the adoption process.
