This blog has served its purpose between 2010 and 2011 by raising awareness of the Joint Core Strategy and helping people to find the official information with which to become involved in the July-2010 consultation process. It is important to note that there is expected to be a further round of consultation on the JCS, after HPBC has re-worked the growth and housing target figures. Please visit the HPBC website for further information.
In the meantime, a new initiative 'Chapel Vision' has been created and this will provide a vehicle by which residents of Chapel Parish (Chapel-en-le-Frith, Combs, Sparrowpit, Dove Holes) may collectively record their views on:
(1) What they like / don't like about the area, and
(2) What projects they would like to see / not like to see in the area.
According to Cllr Mike Harrison, writing about Chapel Vision: "We need to have a clear idea of what we are for, not just against, if our views are to be taken seriously."
Four public meetings were held in March 2011 and Chapel Vision has formed a Steering Committee which is working towards a Community Led Plan. Wider consultation on the views listed above will be undertaken, and Working Groups will be formed to address specific themes, e.g. Housing, Transport, etc. We are advised that councils will be obliged to take the views of community groups seriously.
Please look out for Chapel Vision information and tell your neighbours about it. If you wish, get involved and help our community to deliver new projects and to have a strong voice in matters such as housing, which may affect us in the future.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post.

COUNCIL CONSULTS ON FEDERAL MOGUL DEVELOPMENT SCHEME
COUNCIL CONSULTS ON FEDERAL MOGUL DEVELOPMENT SCHEME
Closing Date 20th Jan 2011
High Peak residents have been given five weeks to have their say on blueprints to shape the transformation of a major employment site in Chapel-en-le-Frith.
Brake lining manufacturer Federal Mogul has unveiled plans to sell surplus land and invest the proceeds in improving its manufacturing plant.
The land to be sold will be redeveloped for housing and for commercial development to create jobs.
Now, the Borough Council has helped the company prepare a draft strategy, called the Federal Mogul Interim Planning Statement, to guide the firm in the development of its proposals.
Linda Baldry, Executive Councillor for Planning, explained: “The statement will be used by us, along with the Local Plan, to help determine future planning applications for the site. The Council believes that the draft statement manages to strike the right balance between protecting existing jobs and supporting investment by a major local employer whilst allowing other uses, such as housing and commercial developments, on parts of the site.
We’d really like to hear whether people also think this approach is the right one and I encourage everyone in Chapel-en-le-Frith to take a look and let us have their views by the closing date of 20 January.”
The consultation period for people wishing to comment starts on Thursday (December 16) and runs to Thursday, January 20. Responses will then be considered by the council before it decides whether to adopt the strategy.
The draft strategy already reflects issues raised by residents who took part in Federal Mogul’s own consultation, back in August.
Residents can view the draft Planning Statement at Chapel-en-le-Frith Library or on the consultation website. Comments can be submitted online, by email or post.
