This application is under consideration - no decision has been issued yet. Plota predicted a decision around 4 Oct 2026; it is now day 239.

Planning committee

Decided by South Derbyshire Development Management Committee on 24 Mar 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because housing benefits were not significantly and demonstrably outweighed by adverse impacts, subject to drainage, a legal agreement and conditions.
  • An objector, the applicant and ward councillors addressed concerns about the boundary, agricultural land, roads, healthcare and local infrastructure.
  • The committee approved planning permission in line with the officer recommendation, subject to amendments to drainage conditions 12 and 13.

Site constraints 2

Agricultural land, grade 3a
Best and most versatile land (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Source: the Predictive Agricultural Land Classification Map (Defra and Natural England, 2025; the Welsh Government's Predictive ALC Map 2 in Wales), a model rather than a site survey. Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) agrees.
Where development of farmland is needed, policy prefers poorer land over the best and most versatile (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Three sources: Natural England's post-1988 field surveys, which are definitive where they exist; the Defra predictive map for England (2025) and the Welsh Government predictive map, modelled from the soil map with 3a and 3b split; and the 1970s provisional map, which planners and other services still show, coarser and with grade 3 undivided. Where the provisional and predicted grades disagree, treat the predicted grade as the current estimate and expect an application to carry its own survey.

Checked on 11 September 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
