Planning committee

Decided by South Derbyshire Development Management Committee on 13 Jan 2026.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the building could provide housing without unacceptable highway, design or amenity impacts.
  • A consultation response and ten representations raised concerns about parking and losing a community facility.
  • The committee approved permission after noting parking concerns and the building’s previous lack of parking facilities.
