Derbyshire Dales District Council and High Peak Borough Council have responded to government growth targets by proposing the building of about 6,000 new homes between now and 2026. This is part of a wider plan for growth.
Several possible areas have been identified for development, and two of these are in Chapel-en-le-Frith.
The consultation process for these proposals ends on 15 July !
New central Government policy may give revised targets for development, in which case further proposals will be necessary and a second round of consultation is expected.
A decision on the proposals is expected by March 2011.
The purpose of this blog is to provide information and assist residents who wish to oppose the plan.

Having contacted the office of Andrew Bingham ourseves, we find that Andrew is unable to comment on the specifics of the proposals as these have not yet reached the planning stage. However, we understand that Andrew is able to advise on the process for making a response to the proposals.
