Amber Valley Council is asking people to have their say on potential development sites as it launches a consultation into its Local Plan

The Local Plan will outline future development in the borough up to 2038, including identifying sites for homes, businesses and local services, guiding the council’s decisions on planning applications and supporting work with developers.

Coun Tony Harper, council cabinet member for regeneration and community safety, said: “The Local Plan sets out the vision for future development in the borough.

“It is the local guide to what can be built where, shaping infrastructure investments, and determining the future pattern of development.

“This plan strikes an important balance between the need for development, regeneration and renewal and the protection of the natural and historic environment.

“The plan also makes sure future development will take place in a planned way, supported by improvements to highways, healthcare facilities and other local infrastructure.
