WELCOME TO THE CONSULTATION FOR WIMBERRY HILL
The Process
This consultation has now closed. However, we invite you to explore the masterplan for Land at Wimberry Hill, which is part of the preparation of outline planning application, which sets out the broad design principles of the development. Details of the final appearance, house types, materials and exact location of roads and the layout of green spaces will be determined at a later stage through reserved matters applications, if outline permission is granted. At the reserved matters stage, there will be further opportunities for consultation with the community on the detailed plans before development commences.
Why Your Input Matters
We are committed to delivering a beautiful new neighbourhood that responds to the aspirations and priorities of the local community. That’s why your feedback is essential. Before submitting a planning application to High Peak Borough Council, we want to hear your views on the emerging proposals.
This is your opportunity to help shape the design and layout of Wimberry Hill, ensuring it becomes an attractive extension to your community, and provides a range of local benefits.
The Site
Wimberry Hill can be found just off Cemetery Road in Glossop. It backs onto existing residential areas and is close to public transport options, shops and local services. The proposed scheme has been designed to reflect the surrounding area, while enhancing access to green space and delivering much-needed housing.
The Consultation
This consultation is an essential step in preparing an outline planning application. An outline application sets out the broad principles of the development, along with details of road access and environmental enhancements. Details of the final appearance, house types, materials and exact location of roads and the layout of green spaces, would all be determined at a later stage by a further planning application. This means there would be a further opportunity for you to comment on the detailed plans before construction is approved.
We therefore invite you to explore the emerging masterplan for Wimberry Hill, share your views, and help us shape a beautiful scheme that fits the local area, meets local housing need and delivers new community facilities.
