Decision
Expected by 30 May 2027
Under consideration
No decision has been issued yet. Plota predicted a decision around 11 Nov 2026; it is now day 148.
Site constraints 7
Flood zone 2, rivers and sea
Medium chance: between a 1 in 100 and 1 in 1,000 annual chance from rivers, or 1 in 200 to 1 in 1,000 from the sea. Any development here needs a flood risk assessment. Defences are not counted.
The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Homes in zone 3 must also pass the sequential test. Surface water flooding is a separate map.
World heritage site 40 m away: Derwent Valley Mills
Its setting is a consideration for work nearby.
Registered parks and gardens, battlefields, world heritage sites and protected wrecks are designated heritage assets: harm needs clear and convincing justification.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 2; National infrastructure project 1951 m away: A38 Derby Junctions; Green belt 15 m away: Derby and Nottingham; Inside the Duffield built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 4, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
No listed building at the site · No scheduled monument at the site
