Construction Trends in North East Derbyshire
North East Derbyshire's emerging Local Plan for 2024 to 2044 is consulting on housing figures ranging from 605 to 900 homes a year, with strategic sites identified at The Avenue in Wingerworth, the former Biwaters site in Clay Cross, and the Coalite site at Long Duckmanton, which could bring around 800 homes and a new local centre as part of a cross-boundary masterplan shared with Bolsover. Proposed Green Belt boundary changes around Dronfield, Eckington and Killamarsh have drawn sustained opposition from local campaigners. Away from these strategic sites, established towns keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.
