Planning committee

Decided by South Derbyshire Development Management Committee on 25 Nov 2025.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the extension’s scale, design and location would not significantly affect the area or neighbours.
  • Highways raised no objection, and the application was presented to committee because it was submitted by an elected member.
  • Members supported the recommendation and approved planning permission as proposed.

Site constraints 5

Nutrient neutrality catchment: River Mease SAC
New homes and overnight accommodation must show nutrient neutrality before approval.
Natural England advice: extra wastewater in these catchments harms protected habitats, so schemes must offset their nutrient load, usually through credits.
Also on the record
2 listed buildings within 150 m; Coalfield, development low risk area; Inside the Overseal and Castle Gresley built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 2 November 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Mining Remediation Authority 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.
