In the 2014 High Peak Local Plan, an area at the heart of Padfield - the "Triangle" - was formally designated as a Local Green Space.
The boundary of the Local Green Space is shown in green on the map below:
Background
The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), published by the Department for Communities and Local Government in March 2012 and most recently updated in July 2021, sets out the government’s planning policies for England. Paragraphs 101 to 103 introduce a Local Green Space designation (LGS) to protect local green areas of special importance to local communities.
This enables communities, in particular circumstances, to identifyand protect areas that are of value to them through local and neighbourhood plans. Local Greeen Space status is designated by the planning authority (High Peak Borough Council, in our case). Once the designation is in place, the area is subject to the same strong development restrictions as Green Belt, ruling out new development except in special circumstances.
