Tansley Parish Council

  29th April: Derbyshire Dales Local Plan 2006-2028: At the recent Derbyshire Dales Council Meeting on Thursday 26th April, councillors were asked to consider the preparation of a new Derbyshire Dales Plan. Councillors were asked to vote on a timetable for the implementation of the plan, including public meetings at the preferred villages for allocation. Local councillors voted for option 2 which allocates 30 dwellings to Tansley within the plan period. The housing will be on 'green field', outside the settlement. Residents will be able to comment on the proposals at a meeting arranged by the local authority to be held in June.

  26th March: Over the last few years the enthusiasm of residents to enter their gardens for the Tansley in Bloom competition has waned. Last year the response was very poor. Cllr. Brian Taylor has worked hard to try to encourage more public participation with little success. The Parish Council has therefore decided not to hold a competition this year and not to enter the village into East Midlands in Bloom. Any money allocated for these competitions will be used to make our village more attractive.

Responses to the survey can be returned to The Gate, The Tavern, The Royal Oak, Holy Trinity Church (Wednesday AM only) or the Methodist Church Post Office (Friday AM only). Boxes will be at these venues from Monday 27th February until Friday 9th March. The Parish Council will follow up this survey with a village meeting in the Village Hall at 7.30pm 24th April, where the results of the survey and any subsequent ideas will be discussed. The survey will help Tansley Parish Council allocate precept money in a fair and responsible way and help with decision making.

"After advice from Planning Officers, District Councillors decided ‘Community Conversations’ would take place at various venues in High Peak & Derbyshire Dales. This will be to discuss future development in the area. Tansley has been identified as a location for future development; it has been proposed that an additional 30 houses are built within the village. A 'conversation' is to be arranged in Tansley by the local authority; packs are to be prepared by Derbyshire Dales District Council (DDDC) and will be sent to all residents of the parish. A reply will be required by the local authority should residents wish to attend the ‘conversations’. Numbers will be limited. More than one 'conversation' may be necessary."
