New homes rejected 

Plans to build two five-bedroomed homes on land off Haywards Close in Glossop have been rejected. 

The proposals would have seen accommodation spread across four levels on the steeply sloping site. 

Planners refused the application as the necessary information such as a topographical plan were not submitted. 

This information would be needed to assess the impact of the proposed development on residential amenity and the public right of way to the south of the site. 

New Industrial building turned down 

High Peak’s Development Control Committee have refused an application for a new industry building to be built in Tunstead Milton. 

The application was for a single storey industrial building 65m x 20m in size, along with associated works to enable access. 

The plans were turned down as insufficient information was submitted with the application relating to drainage needed so the impact on flood risk could be assessed. 

Further concerns around the implications for the structural stability of the feeder channel, the risks of future blockages of the channel and the effect on the ability to maintain a water supply to the Peak Forest Canal in the future.  

The Committee also rejected a retrospective application for a concrete blockwork wall retaining bank on the canal feed as insufficient information has been provided. 

Loft conversion rejected 

Plans for a loft conversion at a property in Glossop have been turned down by planners. 

The application for the home at 55 Norfolk Street also included a new rear dormer window. 

However, planners rejected the application stating the bulky box dormer and unsympathetic, modern features would detract from its historic character. 

The development would also have a significant, harmful impact on the amenity of neighbouring properties. 

Glamping site turned down 

Plans for a planned glamping site in Whitehough have been rejected by High Peak Borough Council’s Development Control Committee. 

The application by the Old Hall Inn was for a change of use of paddock to allow the siting of five glamping pods for use as holiday lets. 

The application was refused as the development would adversely impact the green belt and would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the of the surrounding area.
