Demolition of existing building and erection of a new house at Hockley House, Hockley Lane, Wingerworth
(Planning Manager – Development Management)
Minutes:
The report to Committee explained that an Application had been submitted to demolish an existing building, known as Hockley House, and erect a new building on its site, at Hockley Lane, Wingerworth.
The Application had been submitted to Committee by local Ward Member, Councillor D Ruff, who had raised concerns about it.
Committee was asked to approve the application, subject to the conditions set out in the report.
The report to Committee explained why Members were asked to approve the recommendations. Officers felt that the new building would be an appropriate development for the location, which would not impact on the privacy or amenity of the neighbouring residential properties. The new development would make good use of an existing brownfield site and be in line with the Council’s Development Plan.
Before Members discussed the Application, those registered to speak were asked to address the Committee. The Applicant, S Jones spoke in support of the Application. There were no other speakers.
Committee considered the Application. It took into account the relevant Planning Issues. These included the Principle of Development and planning policies. Committee considered the site’s location outside of the Settlement Development Limits for Wingerworth. It took into account Local Plan Policy SS1 (Sustainable Development), which seeks to promote the re-use of previously developed land in sustainable locations. It considered’ the site’s countryside setting and the provisions of Local Plan Policy SS9, which allows for the development of previously developed land, when this would not have a greater impact on the countryside than the existing development.
Members discussed the application. They discussed the impact of the proposed development on the character of the area. They considered the heritage implications of demolishing the existing building and replacing it with the new home. Members heard that the original intention had been to retain the house, but that structural issues had subsequently emerged, which made it impractical to convert it for alternative use. Some Members regretted the loss of the building. They suggested that the role of Hockley House and its heritage contribution ought to be recorded locally, so that its contribution to the local area would not be forgotten.
At the conclusion of the discussion, Councillors P Elliot and D Ruff moved and seconded a motion to approve the Application, subject to an additional condition that the location and role of the former building be recorded.
The motion was put to the vote and was approved.
RESOLVED -
(1) That planning permission is conditionally approved in accordance with officer recommendations and an additional provision requiring the heritage of the site to be recorded.
(2) That the final wording and content of the conditions be delegated to the Planning Manager (Development Management).

Notes:
Highways Authority
a. Planning permission does not give you approval to work on the public highway To carry works associated with this planning permission, separate approval must first be obtained from Derbyshire County Council as Highway Authority - this will take the form of a section 184 licence (Highways Act 1980). It is strongly recommended that you make contact with the County Council at the earliest opportunity to allow time for the process to be completed. Information and relevant application forms, regarding the undertaking of access works within highway limits, are available via the County Council’s website www.derbyshire.gov.uk, email highways.hub@derbyshire.gov.uk or telephone 01629 533190
b. Under provisions within Sections 149 and 151 of the Highways Act 1980, the developer must take all necessary action to ensure that mud or other extraneous material is not carried out of the site and deposited on the public highway. Should such deposits occur, it is the developer’s responsibility to ensure that all reasonable steps (e. g. street sweeping) are taken to maintain the roads in the vicinity of the site to a satisfactory level of cleanliness
c. The Highway Authority recommends that the first 5m of the proposed access / driveway should not be surfaced with a loose material (i.e. unbound chippings or gravel, etc.). In the event that loose material is transferred to the highway and is regarded as a hazard or nuisance to highway users, the Authority reserves the right to take any necessary action against the landowner.
Coal Authority
If any coal mining features are unexpectedly encountered during development, this should be reported immediately to the Coal Authority on 0345 7626848. Further information is available on the Coal Authority website at:
