• Single story front extension to Lower Eaves Barn, located on an unnamed road from Park Road to Eaves Lodge, Chapel-en-le-Frith 
• Single story rear extension at 20 The Crescent, New Mills 

New shop front refused 

Plans for new shop windows to be installed at a café in Glossop have been rejected by planners. 

The proposal put forward was to replace the traditional wooden ground floor windows and doors with aluminium framed windows and a composite door.  

However, the application for the property on the corner of Ellison Street and High Street East the has been refused. 

Giving the reason for their decision planners stated that the siting, design and materials would not sustain or enhance the historic qualities of the Howard Town Conservation area. 

Plans for retail unit to become restaurant  

Plans have been submitted for permission for a retail unit in the centre of Glossop to become a restaurant. 

The application for a change of use from Class E(a) retail to E(b) restaurant has been made for 62 - 64 High Street West. 

In details put forward as part of the submission it states that the retail site currently provides eight full time and four part time role and a change to a restaurant would lead to 10 full time and 20 part time roles. 

Details of all of the plans are available to view on the borough council’s website at www.highpeak.gov.uk.
