Residents packed into our Matlock council chamber and adjoining committee room on Wednesday night (16 March) as councillors approved 33 residential sites allocated in the draft Local Plan to go forward to a 6-week public consultation starting on 7 April.

The three-and-a-half-hour debate saw failed attempts to withdraw from the draft document sites at Matlock's Gritstone Road, Snitterton, Tansley House Gardens and Throstle Nest Way Brailsford.
