Decided by Chesterfield Planning Committee on 27 Jul 2026.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the conversion was acceptable in principle and would preserve the listed building’s setting and the conservation area.
  • Residents raised concerns about access, parking, privacy, ownership, wildlife, heritage and the building’s close relationship with neighbouring property.
  • The committee upheld the officer recommendation and granted permission subject to the report’s conditions.
