New housing in Derbyshire Dales District Council
We read Derbyshire Dales District Council's planning register every day. We hold 12,326 of its planning applications going back to 2006, and 76 of those made in the last 12 months are for new homes.
It delivered 90% of the homes it needed in the 2025 Housing Delivery Test, below 95%, so it must publish an action plan to speed up delivery.
