Planning committee

Decided by Erewash Planning Committee on 10 Jun 2026.

Refused

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised refusal because the proposal would create unacceptable flood risk and unacceptable living conditions.
  • The supporter said the property had potential, the scheme exceeded DASH guidelines, and flood barriers and cycle storage would be provided.
  • The committee refused the application in line with the officer recommendation.

Checked on 24 September 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area.

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