Layout changes for 14 homes at Land Off Dinting Road, Glossop

Summary of planning committee decision

Decided by High Peak Development Control Committee on 19 Jan 2026.

HPK/2025/0151Approved

What was proposed

The application sought to vary the approved plans for up to 14 homes, reflecting design, highway and layout changes.

“The approved layout plan on HPK/2021/0161 was 20107_01 P7. Since that approval and through the various stages of finalising the design and layout of the development, there have been a series of amendments made. These have included changes brought about by changes to the developer’s house types, amendments to the scheme design to respond to the technical highways input via the Section 38 highways process and various practical changes to refine the final layout.”

“In addition, the approved P7 plan indicated an affordable housing split of rental/shared ownership. The revised plan on this application continues to indicate all affordable housing plots, but does not define the tenure. This is a matter for the requisite outline planning permission. The mechanism for this is to be reconciled through the variation of condition 39 on HPK/2016/0648.”

Officer report

Site and wider development

The site is part of a residential development off Dinting Road, southeast of The Shaw and beside the railway north of Dinting station.

“The application relates to the residential development off Dinting Road, Glossop, sitting to the southeast of The Shaw and bound to the east by the railway north of Dinting station.”

“The development subject of this application is a smaller part of a larger development being carried out collectively by Seddon Homes.”

Officer report

Planning history

The proposal followed outline permission and reserved matters approval, with the wider development already underway and related applications under assessment.

“This application relates to reserved matters approval HPK/2021/0161 which followed outline consent HPK/2016/0648. This development is underway.”

“For reference, the adjoining permissions are HPK/2021/0160 (reserved matters) and HPK/2017/0325 (outline). HPK/2021/0160 is also subject to an application through S73 to vary condition 1 (HPK/2025/0150). A full breakdown of the planning history is provided. The layout for both permissions and revisions is shown Application No: HPK/2025/0151”

Officer report

Officers recommended approval

Officers recommended approval because the amendments would retain the approved character, avoid unacceptable amenity effects and maintain highway safety and parking.

“Overall, the design, layout and use of materials retain the character and appearance of the original approval and continues to reflect and compliment the character of the wider area, and would therefore comply with Policy EQ6 and the Councils Design Guide.”

“Policy EQ6 requires development achieve a satisfactory relationship to adjacent development and not cause unacceptable effects by reason of visual intrusion, overlooking, shadowing, overbearing effect, noise, light pollution or other adverse impacts on local character and amenity. The adopted Residential Design Guide 2005 sets out standards to be achieved.”

“That in the event of any changes being needed to the wording of the Committee’s decision (such as to delete, vary or add conditions/informatives/planning obligations or reasons for approval/refusal) prior to the decision being issued, the Head of Development Services be delegated authority to do so in consultation with the Chair of the Committee, provided that the changes do not exceed the substantive nature of the Committee’s decision.”
