South Derbyshire District Council consult with residents on the Local Plan

Posted on

South Derbyshire District Council has begun work on producing a new local plan for the District, which sets out where new housing, employment, retail, and other development should go, up to 2028. The Local Plan also includes policies that are used to determine planning applications. From 10 October 2022 the Council will enter a consultation period with all residents and interested parties. This ‘Issues and Options’ consultation, is the first formal consultation as part of this update to the Local Plan. Its purpose is to ensure that the Emerging Local Plan covers all the right issues including housing, jobs, infrastructure, health, climate change and the built and natural environment. They would like to hear your views and ideas on the issues and options they will need to take into account.

Findern residents will get an early opportunity to give their views as the District Council are holding a consultation event on Tuesday 11 October in Findern Village Hall. Residents can drop in between 3.30pm – 6.45pm to view the options proposed, talk to Officers and give their views.

Give your views on bus services in Derbyshire

Posted on

In March 2021, the government published a new National Bus Strategy which sets out a framework for how bus services can recover from the Covid-19 pandemic and a vision for future improvements across England. The strategy places a requirement on Derbyshire County Council and local bus companies to work together to create a Bus Service Improvement Plan. This will involve developing bold plans for improving local bus services and encouraging more people to use them.
