Planning committee

Decided by High Peak Development Control Committee on 20 Apr 2026.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the works were contained within a brownfield industrial site and would not substantially harm Green Belt openness.
  • One objection raised concerns about Green Belt and landscape impact, site levels, imported material, ecology and biodiversity information.
  • The committee granted permission as set out in the report after hearing the agent and visiting the site.

Site constraints 4

Public footpath about 7 m away
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site: obstructing a path without a diversion order is an offence, and work cannot start until the order is confirmed.
Compiled from highway authority data, not the legal definitive map. A few authorities have not published, so no path shown is not proof there is none.
Also on the record
Inside the Glossop built-up area; Priority habitat about 22 m away: Deciduous woodland; Green belt about 70 m away: Merseyside and Greater Manchester.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No scheduled monument at the site
