Planning committee

Decided by Newark and Sherwood Planning Committee on 7 May 2026.

Approved by 10 votes to 2

  • Officers advised approval because the location, land use and amount of development were acceptable in principle, subject to later technical details.
  • Three neighbours objected over the conservation area, sustainability, the village edge and loss of open space; the agent spoke in support.
  • The committee voted 10 to 2 to approve permission in principle.

Site constraints 3

Eakring conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Council document ↗
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 1
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 2, 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 11 September 2026. 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.
