Inquiry Update
Update by High Peak Borough Council 14.6.24: Evidence in respect of the viability of the site was submitted to the Council by the appellants on 22nd May 2024. The Council's professional witness, having considered the additional information, and in accordance with his professional duties, has concluded that the Council's reasons for refusing the application can no longer be supported. Accordingly, the Council is under a duty to report that it can no longer resist the appeal for the development of this site which is allocated for housing in the Local Plan. The inquiry will continue as planned, where the inspector will have to consider whether permission for the development should be granted in view of the objections raised by local people.
