Planning committee

Decided by Bolsover Planning Committee on 1 Oct 2025. Earlier deferred on 3 Sept 2025.

Approved

  • Officers advised approval because the vacant building could provide housing without unacceptable design, amenity or highway safety effects.
  • Residents and the parish council objected mainly because of parking, congestion, access and inadequate public transport.
  • The committee voted four to nil to approve the revised proposal with thirteen parking spaces and conditions.
