Landscape and conservation

The Landscape Character Assessment establishes a baseline audit of the current character of the landscape and provides a framework to measure any future landscape change. The assessment will also help to promote appreciation and understanding of the landscape of the national park.

Recreation and tourism

Climate change and sustainable building

This document outlines the actions that need to be taken within the national park to help mitigate the causes of, and adapt to the effects of, climate change in the years to come.

Also see our Peak Sub-Region Climate Change Study (8.8MB) which focuses on the capacity and potential for renewable energy and low-carbon technology and incorporates a landscape sensitivity study of the area. Please note we have received comments from our primary data source for hydro which are likely to result in a revision to the hydro section of this document.

Strategic housing land availability assessment

The Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) was prepared by ekosgen and Arup for High Peak Borough Council, Derbyshire Dales District Council and the Peak District National Park Authority. It is important to note the role of the SHLAA is not to allocate land for residential development but to provide evidence, alongside other studies, to help inform the decision processes as part of the Local Development Framework and development control decisions. The SHLAA identifies potential housing sites and indicates the strategic capacity. However it leaves to the plan making process (now underway) the policy judgements as to which sites should be factored into the Core Strategy and other Development Plan Documents. It does not prejudge the planning application process for each site.
