Decision

Under consideration
No decision has been issued yet. Plota predicts a decision between 2 Dec 2026 and 20 Dec 2026, from Amber Valley's recent commercial premises.
Site constraints 5
Green belt: Derby and Nottingham
Inappropriate development needs very special circumstances.
Green belt policy allows a short list of exceptions, such as limited extensions and replacement buildings. Anything else needs very special circumstances that clearly outweigh the harm. Some green belt land can count as grey belt, where it does not strongly serve the green belt's purposes. The council decides this in its green belt assessment or on each application, so we do not mark it here.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 4; National infrastructure project: Chesterfield to Willington, at pre-application; Coalfield, development low risk area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 4, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No listed building at the site · No scheduled monument at the site

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
