The Parish Council considered this application and resolved to comment as follows:

  • 8 Car Parking Spaces - no objection

  • Access Driveway - the Council would prefer to see this in geo-grid rather than gravel

Single Additional Parking Space - the Council wish to object to this part of the application as it is considered unnecessary (in view of the additional 8 spaces already requested) and the parking space will cause difficulties for neighbouring properties.

Planning Application 23/00674/FUL, Change of use of agricultural land for equestrian use, proposed stables and riding arena (part retrospective) at Brook House Intakes Lane Turnditch Derbyshire DE56 2LU

The Parish Council resolved to have no objection providing access to the site is as shown on the plans.

Planning Application 23/00798/FUL, Extension and alterations to dwelling at 6 Ashes Avenue Hulland Ward Derbyshire DE6 3FT

23/00435/FUL – Erection of 16 no. dwelling houses with associated garages at land east of Dog Lane, Hulland Ward

After discussion the Council resolved to comment as follows:

Hulland Ward Parish Council vigorously rejects the proposals for the following reasons:

a) The application calls for development of a green field site which is also outside the Derbyshire Dales Local Plan.

b) With 101 houses already built (or in the process of being built) Hulland Ward has more than satisfied the requirement of the Local Plan, which requires 99 houses until 2033

c) The proposed access road to the 16 house development is a privately owned single-track road  which has already been rejected for being unsafe, un-adopted and unprofessional.  This access must be rejected as being a possible death trap for both children and adults.

d) The proposed application is adjacent to the only designated heritage asset in the Hulland Ward area, which is Christ Church, and would impinge on the integrity of that building and its surroundings.

e) If the Planning Committee disregard points a) and b) and

d) above then another access road must be found - possibly the Main Road gateway already in use, and adjacent to the Dog Lane turn off.

f) The Parish Council have such serious concerns about this application that a formal request has been made for a feasibility study to be done for a roundabout on the A517/Dog Lane junction to give new access to the site of the proposed development.

g) Recent problems with the Sewage System operating in Hulland Ward may preclude any further development

of the village.

  • With 101 houses already built (or in the process of being built) Hulland Ward has more than satisfied the requirement of the Local Plan, which requires 99 houses until 2033

  • The proposed access road to the proposed 15 house development is a single-track road over private ground which has already been rejected for being unsafe, unadopted and unprofessional.

  • The proposed application is adjacent to the only designated heritage asset in the Hulland Ward area, which is Christ Church, and would impinge on the integrity of that building and its surroundings.
