59 affordable dwellings at Tibshelf Road, Stainsby Common

“The application site is 1.87 ha of land located within the two local planning authority areas of NEDDC and BDC. The proposed development is mostly in NEDDC’s planning area, adjacent to Holmewood, with just a small area of the proposed access road being within BDC’s planning area. The current use of the site is stated in the application form as ‘undeveloped land.”

“This item relates to a cross-boundary development proposal, located within Bolsover District Council’s (BDC) and North East Derbyshire District Council’s (NEDDC) planning areas. The application is being reported to Planning Committee given the number of representations received, and additionally as the parts of the proposal within BDC’s planning area are not in line with adopted planning policy regarding proposed development in the countryside.”

“In summary, given the likely public benefit of providing 100% affordable housing and the limited harm to BDC's planning interests, with only a very limited impact on a small area of countryside, the following is recommended: 1.”

“Derbyshire County Council as Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA) 03/06/2025 – refer to its response to NEDDC, in which it raises no objections subject to recommended conditions and advisory notes.”

“Derbyshire Wildlife Trust 17/07/2024 – Response deals with the development as a whole, including the elements of the scheme within North East Derbyshire District Council’s area. Improvements should be considered to the design to better reduce impacts of the development and to mitigate any losses on site.”

“Prior to the commencement of the development (including demolition, ground works, vegetation clearance and movement of plant, machinery and materials) a Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP: Biodiversity) shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority.”

“Statement of Decision Process for application 24/00257/FUL”

“Whilst noting a minor conflict with Bolsover District Council’s countryside protection policies, this is considered to result in very limited harm that is outweighed by the need for additional affordable housing, in line with National Planning Policies that are seeking to boost the delivery of housing generally.”
