Planning committee

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

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the extensions had sympathetic design, acceptable scale and no significant amenity effects.
  • A neighbour raised concerns that the two-storey extension would be overbearing and reduce light.
  • The committee supported approval and granted permission as recommended.

Site constraints 6

National infrastructure project 685 m away: Oaklands Farm Solar Park
The site is 685 m from the project boundary. Generating station, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted.
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.

Also on the record
Conservation area 24 m away: Walton on Trent; Coalfield, development low risk area; Inside the Walton-on-Trent built-up area; Priority habitat 28 m away: Deciduous woodland; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, 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 listed building at the site

Checked on 2 November 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Mining Remediation Authority, the Planning Inspectorate 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.
