A new planning document that aims to reduce the risk of developments having a negative impact on Buxton's water has been created.
Now the public are being asked for their views on the document that seeks to protect the quality and quantity of mineral water sources in Buxton and the water in the River Wye.
High Peak Borough Council has worked with consultants to draft the Water in Buxton Supplementary Planning Document which, if formally adopted, will offer guidance to developers, land owners and planning agents.
It will also be taken into consideration by the Council when considering planning applications.
Councillor Anthony Mckeown, Leader of the Council, said: “Buxton is known worldwide for its water and as a leading English spa town.
“It’s critical, therefore, that we take appropriate measures to safeguard the water for which we have long been famous.”
The public are invited to view the document on the council’s website and then share their views via the online portal – https://highpeak-consult.objective.co.uk, email LDF@highpeak.gov.uk or write to Planning Policy, High Peak Borough Council, Town Hall, Market Place, Buxton, SK17 6EL.
The closing date for responses is 6pm on Friday 18 June.
