Affordable housing tenure change at Land Off Dinting Road, Glossop

“The purpose of the proposal is to exercise the flexibility within the original planning condition to secure the tenure of the affordable homes as 100% discount market houses.”

“For reasons explained further within the report, this S73 would result in the removal of condition 39 of HPK/2017/0325 and affordable housing obligations will instead to secured through a Section 106 legal agreement.”

“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.”

“This application relates to outline planning approval HPK/2017/0325 which allowed development of up to 108 dwellings. Reserved matters were subsequently approved through reference HPK/2021/0160 for 101 houses. HPK/2017/0325 is subject to a S106 legal agreement. The development is underway.”

“The development subject of this application is the largest portion of a two-part combined development being carried out collectively by Seddon Homes. When referring to plans, the layout for both permissions and revisions is shown on a single plan, illustrating the relationship between the two and fact they are carried out as a collective whole. Application No: HPK/2025/0347”

“Policy H4 deals with affordable housing. For development of the approved scale, it required 30% affordable housing, with on-site delivery being the preference. The proposal does not depart from this percentage; and is verified through the approved reserved matters (and variation sought through HPK/2025/0150).”

“While the ambition of the 80% target for rent remains, the economic reality dictates the ability to achieve this target. In this case the delivery of affordable housing through the discount market housing tenure that can contribute to meeting an existing need is considered to weigh heavily in favour of this proposal.”
