Construct two storey side extension

28 Broad Oak Drive, Brinsley, NG16 5DJ

 

Councillor E Williamson requested that the application be determined by Committee.

 

The Committee noted the late items, which were comprised of additional responses from neighbours objecting to the development and a comment regarding the presence of bats.

 

Andrew Mart, objecting, made representation to the Committee prior to the general debate.

 

Having given due regard to the information before it, the Committee debated the item.  There was concern about the presence of bats in an adjoining property and the tunnelling effect that would be caused by the proposed development.  It was noted that there were no bats in the property where development was proposed.  It was considered that the proposed development would not impact upon the light of the adjoining neighbours.

NOTES 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:
