107 homes at Land south of Mansfield Road, Aston

“This application seeks full planning permission for the erection of 107 dwellings and associated highways, landscaping, open space and drainage infrastructure. This has been reduced from the initial request for a scheme of 111 dwellings.”

“There is an area of public open space along the southern boundary of the site, this includes recreational space, sustainable drainage infrastructure, a LEAP and a landscape buffer that includes new and retained trees along the southern boundary, with a native shrub mix proposed to be planted around them.”

“The site comprises a single agricultural field, which is enclosed by hedgerow and trees to the north and west, and the A57 to the south. To the east, the site adjoins a further field and to the west is the Mansfield Road Industrial Estate, comprising a range of industrial buildings and open storage areas.”

“The site’s topography slopes downwards from north to south. Telecoms wires cross the site with a pole present in the centre of the site.”

“There have been no previous applications submitted relating to this site, however there was an application on the site to the east the details are:”

“RB2019/1932 – Erection of 140 no. dwellinghouses including access, associated infrastructure, landscaping, public open space and parking – WITHDRAWN – 22 January 2026”

“Further to the above the Council cannot evidence a five-year supply of housing land and as such the “tilted balance” as set out in paragraph 11 of the Framework is engaged which shifts the presumption in favour of approval and requires adverse impacts that "significantly and demonstrably" outweigh the benefits to refuse a scheme.”

“Therefore, in light of the above and together with the issues raised by the objectors it is considered there is no reasonable planning justification to refuse the application and subject to conditions and the signing of the s106 to secure the contributions, the application would comply with relevant national and local planning policies and guidance and is subsequently recommended for approval.”

“RMBC Affordable Housing Officer: No objections subject to provision of affordable dwellings on site.”

“RMBC Ecology: No objections subject to conditions.”
