Agenda item

18/00452/OUT - Outline planning application (all matters reserved except access) for the mixed-use redevelopment of the former Whitwell Colliery site, comprising circa 450 dwellings, circa 6 hectares of employment, public open space, convenience retail store and offices, means of access and parking including drop off area for Whitwell railway station, drainage and structural landscaping - Whitwell Tip and Surrounding Land Southfield Lane, Whitwell

Minutes:

The Planning Manager (Development Control) presented the report which gave details of the application and highlighted the location and features of the site and key issues.

 

Councillor David Dixon, Ward Member, attended the meeting and spoke against the application.

 

The agent on behalf of the applicant attended the meeting and spoke in support of the application.

 

Committee considered the application having regard to the Bolsover District Local Plan, the Publication Version of the Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.

 

The only matters for consideration in this application were whether the revised access arrangements would be safe and suitable for the proposed development.

 

The decision notice was to repeat the relevant conditions from the original planning permission, unless they had already been discharged, to provide additional clarity.

 

The approval was to be subject to a deed of variation to the existing s.106 legal agreement to make land available for the provision of a roundabout and a financial contribution of £111,450.34 towards highway improvements to ensure that the omission of a site access roundabout from this scheme would not prejudice or compromise the safe and efficient operation of the Treble Bob roundabout in the future.
