Derby Station Quarter Interim Planning Guidance Consultation
In 2022 we published the Ambition Document and have started working on a new Local Plan which is proposed for adoption in 2026. The new Local Plan will cover the period to around 2040 and will address the challenges facing the city.
There is limited policy guidance in the adopted Local Plan specifically relating to the Station Quarter. To bridge this gap, the Interim Planning Guidance (IPG) has been drafted and if approved, will be used to help guide development and planning decisions in the area until the full review and adoption of a new Local Plan in 2026. It will help to shape emerging planning policy as Local Plan preparation proceeds.
The IPG sets out the anticipated ‘direction of travel’ of planning policy for the Station Quarter. In so doing, this proposed guidance will assist in promoting the area as an investment proposition, highlighting important development opportunities, and creating greater certainty in relation to planning requirements. The IPG would be treated as a material consideration in relation to future development proposals put forward in the area (further background information can be found here - opens in a new window).
The Council are now consulting on a draft of the masterplan and IPG and we welcome your views. You can access the IPG here (opens in a new window).
We have prepared two questionnaires to help you form your views; the short questionnaire, with straightforward questions is anonymous, providing an opportunity for you to input high level views quickly and simply. There is also a longer full questionnaire for more considered views, where you can input comments on sections of the document. The longer questionnaire requires you to provide information about yourself.
If you would like a copy of the short survey in another format, such as hard copy, please contact us.
Or, if you would like to make comments on specific sections of the IPG, feel free to email us at the address above, or write to us at: Derby Station Quarter IPG, Regeneration, Derby City Council, Freepost MID24259, Derby DE1 2BR
An exhibition of Derby Station Quarter Interim Planning Guidance will be on display at Derby City Lab from Thursday 21 November until Thursday 12 December. Council Officers will hold drop-in sessions for the public at the Derby City Lab between 10am and 4pm on Tuesday 26 November and Tuesday 10 December 2024, where staff will be available to answer any questions. The City Lab is in Unit 251 on Level 2 of the Derbion, London Road, Derby DE1 2PL (between Castle Galleries and Goldsmiths and opposite Frasers/Sports Direct and Marks and Spencer). No appointment will be necessary.
The public consultation on the Station IPG will close on Monday 13 January 2025. The intention is that next spring the IPG can be adopted into the Council’s planning policies for the station area.
