Planning committee

Decided by Mansfield Planning Applications Committee on 24 Aug 2026.

Approved unanimously

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised granting consent because the path would preserve the listed building’s setting and cause no greater impact than already evident.
  • The Conservation Officer raised no objection, while the Gardens Trust sought safeguards for any burials affected by the works.
  • The committee unanimously approved listed building consent, subject to conditions and delegated authority for minor changes.
