"Policy IN3
The Borough Council will support proposals for the sensitive restoration and maintenance, to navigable status, of the route of the Cromford Canal, as shown on the Proposals Map. The Council will also seek to protect the route from any development that is likely to prejudice its future restoration and maintenance.
Development will be permitted for any proposals that would:-
positively contribute to the restoration of the canal and towpath
improve access to and along the route of the canal to encourage its use
for transport, leisure and recreational purposes
respect, improve or enhances the landscape & townscape character,
setting, biodiversity and historic value of the canal
providing the proposals would not have any adverse impact on amenities by virtue of noise, odour or visual impact. "
