74/20	Planning Matters 1. Application ref. DMPA/2020/0586: Approval of reserved matters (layout, scale, appearance and landscaping) pursuant to outline permission ref. 9/2018/0709 (allowed on appeal under ref. APP/F1040/W/18/3216847) for the erection of 14 dwellings with associated road, public open space and associated works on Land rear of 53 and 67 Woodville Road, Hartshorne, Swadlincote, DE11 7ET No Objections 2. Application ref. DMPA/2020/0480 Listed Building Consent for the refurbishment of the farmhouse and the conversion of outbuildings into 2 additional dwellings (use class C3) including demolition and rebuild of associated walls at Spring Farm, Brook Street, Hartshorne, Swadlincote, DE11 7AH No Objections. The Parish Council were pleased that this development will go ahead. 3. Application ref. DMPA/2020/0600 Outline application (with details of access to be considered now and matters of layout, scale, appearance and landscaping reserved for later consideration) for the residential development of up to 150 dwellings along with associated roads, drainage infrastructure and open space on Land at SK3219 4280 (Hill Top Farm, Woodville), Goseley Avenue, Hartshorne, Swadlincote.-

Hartshorne Parish Council strongly object to the proposed development.

1. Overall this site is not identified in the Local Plan and there is no evidence that housing need cannot be met by already identified sites particularly in the Hartshorne/Woodville area at Broomy Farm and other adjacent development within the Swadlincote Regeneration Route.

2. The site is situated outside the current settlement boundary

3. SDDC (and more specifically the Hartshorne/Woodville Ward) currently have enough sites to meet the need of the five-year plan with everything that currently has been given Planning Permission. Developers landbank these sites waiting for house prices to increase even further so they can increase their profits.

4. Agricultural Land Classification Report - the report classifies the land as 3b. But upon reading the report it actually could very easily be 3a or even 2.

5. If we keep building on all our farmland, this will impact on growing our own food.

6. In the Planning Application - Section 7, It clearly asks "Does the proposal require any

diversion/extinguishment of any rights of way?" This has been answered no, when it must be yes, as there are 2 Public Rights of Way which pass through the site. Footpaths 3 & 4 which will clearly need to be either diverted or closed temporary or maybe permanently resulting in the same problems that walkers have had at Broomy Farm 7. Section 11: "Will the proposals increase flood risk? " Water will run off tarmac and concrete and run downhill towards Woodville Road increasing the flood risk for those properties at the bottom of the dip on Woodville Road.

8. Transport Plan; The Transport Assessment taken in July 2019 (before the houses on the Broomy Farm site became inhabited), it states that 150 houses will only create 83 traffic movements in the morning and 79 in the evening which they think will have no impact on Goseley Estate and the junction of Goseley Avenue and

Woodville Road. The Parish Council would really question this, both for the numbers of movements (the average household in the UK has 1.3 cars, so that is 195 cars in total not 150.) So, what they would like us to believe is that everyone will walk or cycle and only 53% and 52% of households will use their cars??

9. The junction at Goseley Ave and Woodville Road would see a large increase in traffic entering and leaving the Estate. If you factor in the impact on traffic leaving and entering Broomy Farm (estimated 400+dwellings ) this would create and dangerous ‘crossroad’ and may require traffic lights!

10. Other smaller developments i.e. Snotty Fox site and between 53 and 67 Woodville Road would create greater numbers of traffic along Woodville Road.

11. The way in which the development wraps around the recreation ground is likely create problems with residents using the area.

4. Application ref. DMPA/2020/0771 Change of use from takeaway (use class A5) to residential flat (use class C3) at 23 Salisbury Drive, Midway, Swadlincote, DE11 7LD

No Objections

5. Application ref. DMPA/2020/0817 The erection of a two storey side extension at 21 Coventry Close, Midway, Swadlincote, DE11 7PP.

No Objections

6. Application ref. DMPA/2020/0478:The erection of a new 2 storey dwelling and new access at Spring Farm, Brook Street, Hartshorne, DE11 7AH.

7. Application ref. DMPA/2020/0810: Refurbishment of the farmhouse and conversion of outbuildings into 2 no. dwellings including demolition and rebuilding of associated walls and change of use of agricultural land to residential garden at Spring Farm, Brook Street, Hartshorne, Swadlincote, DE11 7AH.

No Objections

8. Application ref. DMPA/2020/0422: Approval of reserved matters (layout, scale, appearance and landscaping) for erection of 148 dwellings along with creation of roads and public open space pursuant to outline permission ref. 9/2016/0882 (phase 2b) on Land at Broomy Farm (east of Lincoln Way and

Salisbury Drive), Woodville Road, Hartshorne, Swadlincote.-

Hartshorne Parish Council objects to the revised application. The original applications included an entrance to Granville School via the estate, it no longer appears on any revised layout. The Parish Council would wish this entrance to be reinstated on the grounds of road safety as many of the students travel from either the Goseley Estate, Hartshorne village and Lower Midway. It has been quoted that the removal of the entrance is the action of the School, if this is correct the Parish Council asked them to reconsider their decision as soon as possible and certainly before the Planning Committee give permission to the developers.

9. Application ref. DMPA/2020/0422: Notification of amendment to planning application Approval of reserved matters (layout, scale, appearance and landscaping) for erection of 148 dwellings along with creation of roads and public open space pursuant to outline permission ref. 9/2016/0882 (phase 2b) on Land at Broomy Farm (east of Lincoln Way and Salisbury Drive), Woodville Road, Hartshorne, Swadlincote.-

10. Application ref. DMPA/2020/0775 installation of solar panels at The Shires, Ticknall Road, Hartshorne No Objections.
