00:03Planning permission has been granted to build 161 new homes near Bowlesover

00:07and create a new link road. A full planning application by Woodall Homes

00:12to build on land southwest of Broccoli Wood, Oxcroft Lane at Stanfrey, including a proposed

00:18road between Shuttlewood Road and Oxcroft Road and the demolition of the derelict

00:22Bowle Appleton Farm and Outbuildings has been passed by the District Council's Planning Committee.

00:27The new homes comprise 14 single-storey bungalows, 33 two-and-a-half-storey houses

00:33using the roof space and 114 two-storey homes. 16 of them would be affordable.

00:41A public consultation has been launched into a Peak District Hospitality Entrepreneurs' Plan

00:46to create a new restaurant in Bakewell by converting a historic and iconic building.

00:51Rob Hattersley is aiming to bring 60 new jobs to the town with his proposal for the

00:56old Royal Bank of Scotland building which first opened its doors in the town in 1838.

01:02I grew up in Bakewell so reviving the bank and turning it into a place that can be used by

01:06locals and visitors alike would feel like coming home said Rob. It also feels right

01:11to be rescuing such an iconic building and investing in the local economy. It's a principle

01:16that drives all my business decisions he said. An application for planning permission has been

01:22submitted to the Peak District National Park Authority where comments on the

01:25plans can be made until September 2nd.
