PEOPLE in Hathersage are being consulted on plans by the Peak District National Park Authority to change the boundaries of the village's conservation area.
A draft document has been drawn up which outlines the proposed small extension to the conservation area, which would take in Oddfellows Row and Bank House on Station Road for their "architectural and historic interest".
A spokesman for the national park authority said: "Hathersage was originally a small farming community.
"Its location beside two brooks was a catalyst for development and `` expanded in the 18th and 19th centuries from an agricultural settlement to an industrial one.
"Part of the special interest of the Hathersage Conservation Area lies in its setting on the bottom of the Derwent Valley and within the cleft of The Dale, so that from almost any location in the village, the hills provide a green backdrop to the gritstone buildings."
Documents outlining the proposals will be on show at the authority's headquarters in Baslow Road, Bakewell, or online until the consultation period ends on Saturday, February 12.
A public meeting on the plans will also take place from 4pm on Wednesday, February 9 at Hathersage Memorial Hall in Oddfellows Road.
