Construction Trends in High Peak
Buxton's College Hill Park, built on the former Harpur Hill College site, has delivered 26 two and three bedroom homes sold at 80 percent of market value to local-connection buyers through Persimmon Homes. The council has separately launched Revitalising Buxton, described as the biggest regeneration project it has undertaken, with consultation focused on affordability and reducing holiday-home purchases in the town centre. In Glossop, the former DB Shenker site has been identified in the council's investment prospectus for residential or student accommodation use. Away from these schemes, established towns keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.
