26/00136/FUL - 19 Holden Crescent, Nuthall, NG16 1BW

The application seeks planning permission for the construction of a single storey front, two storey front and side, and two storey rear extensions.

19 Holden Crescent, Nuthall, NG16 1BW

The application is brought to the Committee at the request of Councillor J Owen.

There were no late items.

The Director of Planning and Economic Development clarified that Officers had assessed that the proposed plan would not have a significant impact on the neighbouring property in terms of loss of light – a typo meant that the word ‘not’ was missing from their report.

There were two public speakers for this item, Jamie Whiley, applicant and James Pike, objecting. Susan Audrey Pike spoke on behalf of James Pike.

Giving consideration to all of the representations before it, the Committee’s debate covered amenity and overshadowing, the distance between properties, and the size of the plot.

          RESOLVED that planning permission be approved, subject to the following conditions:

1.       The development hereby permitted shall be commenced before the expiration of three years beginning with the date of this permission.

Reason: To comply with S91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by S51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

2.       The development hereby permitted shall be retained in accordance with the Site Location Plan (1:1250), Block Plan and Proposed Floor Plans and Elevations received by the Local Planning Authority on 26 February 2026.

Reason: For the avoidance of doubt.

3.       The proposed single storey front, two storey front and side, and two storey rear extensions shall be constructed using the materials annotated on the application form received by the Local Planning Authority on 26 February 2026.

Reason: To ensure a satisfactory standard of external appearance and in accordance with the aims of Policy 17 of the Broxtowe Part 2 Local Plan (2019) and Policy 10 of the Aligned Core Strategy (2014).

Notes to Applicant

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

2.       You are advised that construction work associated with the approved development (incl. the loading/unloading of delivery vehicles, plant or other machinery), for which noise is audible at the boundary of the application site, should not normally take place outwith the hours of 08:00 and 19:00 Monday to Friday, 08:00 and 13:00 on Saturdays or at any time on a Sunday or Bank Holiday, as prescribed in Schedule 1 of the Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971 (as amended).

3.       The proposed development lies within an area that has been defined by the Mining Remediation 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 Mining Remediation 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 a suitable engineering design which takes account of all relevant safety and environmental risk factors, including mine gas and mine-water. Your attention is drawn to the Mining Remediation Authority Policy in relation to new development and mine entries available at:

Building on or within the influencing distance of mine entries - GOV.UK

Any intrusive activities which disturb or enter any coal seams, coal mine workings or coal mine entries (shafts and adits) requires a Mining Remediation 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. Application forms for Mining Remediation Authority permission and further guidance can be obtained from The Mining Remediation Authority's website at: www.gov.uk/get-a-permit-to-deal-with-a-coal-mine-on-your-property

What is a permit and how to get one? - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

In areas where shallow coal seams are present caution should be taken when carrying out any on site burning or heat focused activities.

If any future development has the potential to encounter coal seams which require excavating, for example excavation of building foundations, service trenches, development platforms, earthworks, non-coal mineral operations, an Incidental Coal Agreement will be required. Further information regarding Incidental Coal Agreements can be found here - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/incidental-coal-agreement/guidance-notes-for-applicants-for-incidental-coal-agreements

If any coal mining features are unexpectedly encountered during development, this should be reported immediately to the Mining Remediation Authority on 0800 288 4242. Further information is available on the Mining Remediation Authority website at: Mining Remediation Authority - GOV.UK
