Agenda item

*The Committee considered the under-mentioned applications in light of reports by the Development Management and Conservation Manager and resolved as follows:-

 

CHE/18/00225/FUL - ERECTION OF 5 DETACHED DWELLINGS AND DEMOLITION OF REDUNDANT DUTCH BARN (COAL MINING RISK ASSESSMENT REC’D 11/05/2018 AND PRELIMINARY ECOLOGICAL APPRAISAL REC'D 08/07/2018) AT CHESTERFIELD CATTERY, CROW LANE, CHESTERFIELD, DERBYSHIRE S41 0EQ FOR D THOMAS AND K HEARN

 

In accordance with Minute No. 299 (2001/2002) Mr Kevin Hearn (applicant) and Ms Debbie Thomas (applicant) addressed the meeting.

 

That the officer recommendation be upheld and the application be refused subject to the following reasons:-

 

1.  The site the subject of the application is on land allocated under policy EVR2 of the 2006 Local Plan (a saved designation of the Chesterfield Local Plan: Core Strategy 2011 – 2031) as open countryside.  Policy CS10 of the Chesterfield Local Plan: Core Strategy 2011 – 2031 states that greenfield led housing development will not be accepted where the Local Planning Authority is able to demonstrate a 5 year housing land supply. 

 

On the basis that the Local Planning Authority is currently able to demonstrate a 5 year housing land supply the development would be contrary to the provisions of policy CS10 and EVR2 and the wider provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework 2018. 

 

2.  The site is situated in a rural location and having regard to its specific characteristics, under the provisions of Policy CS1, the new dwellings would not be within walking distance of a centre (the nearest being Chesterfield Town Centre, approximately 1.5km away, with a significant proportion via unlit roads without pavements).  On this basis the proposals fail to meet the provisions of Policy CS1 of the Chesterfield Local Plan: Core Strategy 2011 – 2031 and the wider provisions of the 2018 National Planning Policy Framework. 

 

CHE/17/00496/FUL - CONVERSION OF THE TRAVELLERS REST INTO 12 RESIDENTIAL APARTMENTS INCLUDING CONVERSION OF THE ATTACHED RETAIL UNIT LINKED TO THE ORIGINAL BUILDING, TOGETHER WITH A NEW THREE STOREY REAR EXTENSION AND NEW ROOF OVER THE EXISTING BUILDING TO INCORPORATE ADDITIONAL ROOMS WITHIN THE ROOF SPACE – AMENDED NOISE, ODOUR AND AIR QUALITY ASSESSMENT RECEIVED 29.05.2018, AMENDED PLANS RECEIVED 29.05.2018 AND 10.07.2018 AT THE TRAVELLERS REST , 425 SHEFFIELD ROAD, WHITTINGTON MOOR S41 8LT FOR MR SHRIMPTON

This should be undertaken by an experienced ecologist. If the sett is considered active, a licence must be obtained from Natural England to close the holes. If the sett is considered disused, the holes should be dug out under the supervision of an ecologist

 

22. Trees with low bat roost potential should be felled by an Arboriculturalist experienced in working on trees with bat roost potential.
