COMMITTEE APPROVE NEW HOMES AT HULLAND WARD
8th April 2016
At their March meeting, Derbyshire Dales District Council Planning Committee resolved to grant permission for the construction of up to 33 new homes on land off Biggin View, Hulland Ward. The outline application, prepared and submitted by Planning Design, proposed a range of house types (including affordable housing), public open space, new hedge and tree planting and a balancing pond. The layout design sought to minimise visual impact whilst taking advantage of the far reaching views across the valley.
In developing the scheme Planning Design obtained the views of local people at a public exhibition and Parish Council meetings. The proposals were also informed by a suite of supporting documents, including heritage, landscape, transport and ecological assessments.
The Council’s resolution to approve follows their earlier decision to provisionally allocate the site in the emerging Derbyshire Dales Local Plan. The land sits to the west of the existing village, where the Council have identified an opportunity to accommodate some additional housing to help contribute to meeting the District’s housing needs.
