The fourth generation of a Peak District family have been allowed to build new homes in an 'unaffordable' honeypot village after their mother's weeping plea to planners
“Despite being registered with Home Options it’s impossible for my children to get properties in the village – that’s to either rent or to buy, hence the application we have put in.”
The other two-bed house, to be built for the second son who does not currently have a family, measured 78sqm – however the policy states it should be a maximum of 70sqm “In my opinion if the adjoining two bedroom is reduced by the said amount then it will become unlivable.” “And if we keep allowing sizes to creep up saying ‘well it’s only a little bit so it doesn’t make that much difference’ we might as well not have a policy, it’s not benefiting future generations in the park.”But Councillor Kath Potter said the park needed to be ‘enhanced’ by retaining young people to take over from the older generation.
