Derbyshire village faces new wave of housing development

Summarised from Derbyshire Live's report · Updated 24 Oct, 12:32 · Archive

Wildrose Developments has submitted plans for 58 affordable homes in Darley Dale.

Wildrose Developments, based in Derby, has submitted plans for 58 homes off Old Road in Darley Dale, close to the A6 and a primary school. Of these, 16 would be one-bed, 25 two-bed, 14 three-bed and three four-bed, including eight flats and four bungalows. The development would be decided by Derbyshire Dales District Council in the coming months.

The firm is a new venture launched in early 2024 by Jonathan Wildgoose, formerly chairman of Wildgoose Construction, which went into administration in 2021 owing £9 million to subcontractors and suppliers with 46 people made redundant. Wildgoose Construction was fully dissolved in August this year.

The proposed site sits 200 metres from another plot the district council has listed for potential future housing. In its upcoming new Local Plan, the council has identified four potential housing sites totalling 104 homes across the village, including a 25-home extension to St Elphins across the A6.
