NOTES TO APPLICANT

 

1.

The Council has acted positively and proactively in the determination of this application, through an early visit to the site to appreciate whether any amendments needed to be sought and thus afford sufficient time to negotiate these should it have been the case.

2.

The deposit of mud or other items on the public highway, and/or the discharge of water onto the public highway are offences under Sections 149 and 151, Highways Act 1980.  The applicant, any contractors, and the owner / occupier of the land must therefore ensure that nothing is deposited on the highway, nor that any soil or refuse etc is washed onto the highway, from the site.  Failure to prevent this may force the Highway Authority to take both practical and legal action (which may include prosecution) against the applicant / contractors / the owner or occupier of the land.  Where the development site may be accessed by a significant number of vehicles or may be particularly susceptible to material 'tracking' off site onto the highway, details of wheel-washing facilities must be provided to and approved by the Highway Authority.

3.

The off-site improvements associated to this consent will require you to undertake works in the public highway, which is land subject to the provisions of the Highways Act 1980 (as amended) and therefore land over which you have no control. You are therefore required to contact Via East Midlands on 0115 8042100  to obtain the necessary consents/license.

4.

As this permission relates to the creation of a new units, please contact the Council's Street Naming and Numbering team: 3015snn@broxtowe.gov.uk to ensure an addresses are created.  This can take several weeks and it is advised to make contact as soon as possible after the development commences. A copy of the decision notice, elevations, internal plans and a block plan are required. For larger sites, a detailed site plan of the whole development will also be required.

5.

The proposed development lies within an area that has been defined by the Coal Authority as containing coal mining features at surface or shallow depth.  These features may include: mine entries (shafts and adits); shallow coal workings; geological features (fissures and break lines); mine gas and former surface mining sites.  Although such features are seldom readily visible, they can often be present and problems can occur, particularly as a result of new development taking place. 

 

Any form of development over or within the influencing distance of a mine entry can be dangerous and raises significant land stability and public safety risks.  As a general precautionary principle, the Coal Authority considers that the building over or within the influencing distance of a mine entry should be avoided.  In exceptional circumstance where this is unavoidable, expert advice must be sought to ensure that a suitable engineering design which takes into account all the relevant safety and environmental risk factors, including mine gas and mine-water.  Your attention is drawn to the Coal Authority Policy in relation to new development and mine entries available at:

www.gov.uk/government/publications/building-on-or-within-the-influencing-distance-of-mine-entries

 

Any intrusive activities which disturb or enter any coal seams, coal mine workings or coal mine entries (shafts and adits) requires a Coal Authority Permit.  Such activities could include site investigation boreholes, excavations for foundations, piling activities, other ground works and any subsequent treatment of coal mine workings and coal mine entries for ground stability purposes.  Failure to obtain a Coal Authority Permit for such activities is trespass, with the potential for court action. 

 

If any coal mining features are unexpectedly encountered during development, this should be reported immediately to the Coal Authority on 0345 762 6848.  Further information is available on the Coal Authority website at:www.gov.uk/government/organisations/the-coal-authority
