Local Green Spaces Plan

We are currently receiving a high number of planning applications which is resulting in delays to our usual response times. We are determining applications and responding to enquiries in the order they are received. We will respond as soon as possible.

Local Green Spaces Plan

South Derbyshire District Council adopted its Local Green Spaces Plan on 24 September 2020. 

The Plan now comprises part of the development plan for the District, together with the Local Plan Parts 1 and 2.

The Local Green Spaces Plan designates areas of land that are of particular value to the local community, for protection from most forms of development.  The Plan will be used to guide development, together with the rest of the development plan, through the determination of planning applications in the District.

Local Green Spaces can also be designated through Neighbourhood Development Plans and the relevant local green space policies in the development plan also apply to spaces designated in this way.
