Local Plan

The Derbyshire Dales Adopted Local Plan (DDLP) sets out the Council's land use planning policies and proposals for the area outside of the Peak District National Park. As well as identifying and allocating land for development including housing, employment and leisure uses it is used as the basis for the determination of planning applications.

The DDLP was adopted on 24th November 2005, and puts in place policies and proposals to guide the development of land for the period up to 2011.

Saved Local Plan Policies

The Derbyshire Dales Local Plan was formally adopted on 24th November 2005. Under the provisions of the Planning and Compulsory Act 2004, the Local Development Framework was introduced and policies in the Local Plan were 'saved' for a period of three years after adoption.

Local Planning Authorities were invited by the Department for Communities and Local Government to apply to the Secretary of State to issue a Direction to 'save' selected Local Plan policies beyond this three-year period. The Secretary of State approved the schedule of saved policies shown in the Related Documents section below. All policies not included on this schedule expired on 20th November 2008 and cease to be material consideration in the determination of planning applications.
