SUMMARY OF REASONS FOR DECISION In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, on the basis the new-build residential development is necessary to enable the refurbishment and long-term future of the listed building, the development, as restricted by conditions, is in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework and Saved Policies BE1, BE3, BE4, BE5, NE5[A] and M16 [28/09/2007] of the Adopted Mansfield District Local Plan 1998, meeting the relevant objectives and criteria. The development will not be detrimental to the visual character and appearance of the Green Wedge or the listed building, nor would it be detrimental to residential amenity, wildlife, highway safety or crime and disorder, and there are no other material considerations that indicate that a decision should be taken at variance with the above policy or guidance.

Mansfield District Council Saved Policy M16 – Advises planning permission will be granted for new developments provided proposals meet 6 sets of criteria in respect of transport / movement issues. Mansfield District Council Development Control Policy Note ‘Space about Dwellings and Floorspace Standards for Residential Accommodation’ - Provides guidance on designing residential layouts including on separation distances which should be achieved between existing and proposed dwellings and on garden standards.

(1) Note to Applicant It is an offence under S148 and S151 of the Highways Act 1980 to deposit mud on the public highway and as such you should undertake every effort to prevent it occurring.

(2) Note to Applicant The scheme shall consider the use of SUDS wherever possible, including consideration of rainwater harvesting, grey water harvesting, swales, a small attenuation pond - which could be incorporated into a landscaping scheme - or soakaways / porous paving (ground conditions permitting). SUDS are an approach to managing surface water run-off which seeks to mimic natural drainage systems and retain water on or near the site as opposed to traditional drainage approaches which involve piping water off site as quickly as possible. SUDS involve a range of techniques including soakaways, infiltration trenches, permeable pavements, grassed swales, ponds and wetlands. SUDS offer significant advantages over conventional piped drainage systems in reducing flood risk by attenuating the rate and quantity of surface water run-off from a site, promoting groundwater recharge, and improving water quality and amenity. The variety of SUDS techniques available means that virtually any development should be able to include a scheme based around these principles.

(3) Note to Applicant The prior written consent of the Environment Agency is required for any proposed works or structures, in, under, over or within 8m metres of the top of the bank of the Under the terms of the Water Resources Act 1991, and the Land Drainage Byelaws, River Maun, designated a ‘main river’.

(4) Note to Applicant During the period of construction, oil and fuel storage will be subject to the Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulations 2001. The Regulations apply to the storage of oil or fuel of any kind in any kind of container which is being used and stored above ground, including drums and mobile bowsers, situated outside a building and with a storage capacity which exceeds 200 litres. A person with custody or control of any oil or fuel breaching the Regulations will be guilty of a criminal offence. The penalties are a maximum fine of £5000 in Magistrates' Court or an unlimited fine in Crown Court. Further details of the Regulations are available from the Environment Agency.

(5) Note to Applicant All vegetation and ground clearance work shall be undertaken outside of the bird breeding season (March to September inclusive) unless supervised by a suitably qualified ecologist.

(6) Note to Applicant In order to carry out the off-site works required you will be undertaking work 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. In order to undertake the works you will need to enter into an agreement under Section 278 of the Act.
