A Derbyshire village faces multiple housing proposals amid concerns from residents.

A Derbyshire village has become a focal point for housing expansion, with plans filed for multiple developments. One scheme proposes up to 1,000 homes on greenfield land near the village, whilst a separate application covers more than 50 homes on a site that had previously been protected from development by a Government planning inspector.

Local parish councillors are urging concerned residents to take part in a developer's public consultation regarding the larger scheme. The proposals have drawn attention from campaigners, who are also mobilising residents over other threats to village amenities, with over 120 residents reportedly raising concerns about separate plans to sell a former play area.
