Derbyshire Dales Local Plan Review – A New Approach to Housing Consultation

The Derbyshire Dales Local Plan sets out the overall vision, along with policies and proposals for the future development of those parts of the District that lie outside the Peak District National Park for the period up to 2040.

As part of the review of the Local Plan we are considering how the District’s population will change in the future and what that might mean for the number of new homes we need, and to fulfil our ambitions to ensure that our towns and villages are sustainable and flourishing.

In order to take the Local Plan forward the District Council would now like to hear your views about our new approach to meeting our housing needs over the next 17 years.

A six week period of public consultation will run 9th May to 20th June 2024. To make your views known please fill out the online survey.

Following this consultation we will continue to work on the review of the Local Plan.

Should you have any questions please contact the Planning Policy Team at localplan@derbyshire.gov.uk or 01629 761101.
