• Installation of glazed porch door, replacement of the existing windows and minor internal alterations at Hollin Knoll, Long Lane, Martinside, Chapel-en-le-Frith 

Rejected by planners 

Planners have rejected a number of planned changes to properties in the High Peak. 

An application to convert and extend a garage and build a new two storey extension at 10 Forge Corner, Outram Way, Chinley has been turned down. 

It was determined that the proposed extensions would be excessively large in scale and massing and would not be in keeping with the existing property, or the character of the area. 

The loss of the garage would also mean the proposed parking provisions would fall short of those required for the size of the property. 

A proposed loft conversion with a rear dormer at 13 Manor Park Road, Glossop, has been refused by High Peak Planners. 

They determined that the proposed dormer window would have been an uncharacteristic element within the Old Glossop Conservation Area and lead to a harmful level of overlooking of an adjacent property. 

Plans to convert a former workshop between Pennine View Care Centre and Hobroyd Cottage in Glossop to residential accommodation have been rejected. 

Planners stated that the proposed two-bedroom home, by virtue of the siting and design of the windows, would result in overlooking and loss of privacy to existing properties and a poor outlook for future occupiers to the new home. 

The plans are available to view on the council’s website at www.highpeak.gov.uk​​​​​​
