Consultations

Both Bolsover District Council and North East Derbyshire District Council maintain databases of parties interested in the preparation of their planning documents. From this webpage, you will be able to view planning documents currently being prepared by the two Councils.

North East Derbyshire Local Plan 2024 - 2044

Update 21/10/2026: Following publication of the Publication Draft Local Plan, the Council identified an error regarding the calculation of the local housing need assessment, using the Government’s Standard Method. Correction of this error increases the minimum housing requirement from 11,260 dwellings to 12,160 dwellings.

A Correction Notice to the Housing Target used in the Publication Draft Local Plan (including a schedule of changes, technical note and addendum to the Sustainability Appraisal) has therefore been published as part of the consultation.

To ensure interested parties have a reasonable opportunity to consider and comment on this additional information, the Council is undertaking a 6-week consultation period for representations relating to the Correction material only (running between 21 October 2026 and 2 December 2026). Representations on the Local Plan Housing Target Correction material should be submitted by 11:59pm 2 December 2026.

Please note: the original consultation deadline of 11:59pm on 18 November 2026 continues to apply to all other parts of the Publication Draft Local Plan and supporting evidence base.

07/10/2026: You are invited to make representations to the Publication Draft North East Derbyshire Local Plan between Wednesday 7th October and Wednesday 18th November 2026. Representations can also be made to the Draft Policies Map and Draft Housing Trajectory.  For representations on the merits of specific sites, please make these within the Publication Draft (ie housing allocations are within chapter 5, employment allocations in chapter 7, etc), so that it is clear which sites you are commenting on. For issues on map content only, please comment on the Policies Map.

Guidance and information to help you make representations are available on the Council's Publication Draft Local Plan webpage.  In particular:
