Note to Applicant

 

1.       The Council has acted positively and proactively in the determination of this application by working to determine it within the agreed determination timescale.

 

2.       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

 

3.       As this permission relates to the creation of a new unit(s), please contact the Council's Street Naming and Numbering team: 3015snn@broxtowe.gov.uk to ensure an address(es) is(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.

 

4.       Burning of commercial waste is a prosecutable offence. It also causes unnecessary nuisance to those in the locality. All waste should be removed by an appropriately licensed carrier.

 

5.       There should be no disturbance to the surface of the footpath without prior authorisation from the Rights of Way team. It is noted that the developer intends to resurface the footpath. Before any works are undertaken the Rights of Way team should be provided with full details of the works that are intended to be carried out. Authorisation should be given before any works are carried out, by contacting Helen Spencer at email: helen.spencer@viaem.co.uk

 

6.       No works shall commence following the granting of planning permission until Listed Building Consent (LBC) has been granted (23/00511/LBC).
