Planning committee

Decided by High Peak Development Control Committee on 13 Jul 2026.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the replacement dwelling was considered acceptable in principle, well designed and harmful to neither residential amenity nor the Conservation Area.
  • Five public comments objected over drainage, construction, scale, design, heritage, landscape, biodiversity and highway safety.
  • The committee approved the application by 27 votes to 20, adding a condition requiring re-use of the existing stone.

Checked on 11 September 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
