Employment Site Brief - Blenheim Lane Industrial Estate, Hucknall

A. STRATEGIC/LOCATION 1. This site is well located to take advantage of existing infrastructure provided for the Blenheim Lane Industrial Estate and has relatively quick and direct access to junction 26 of the M1. The site is a logical and self contained extension to the existing industrial area. B. ENVIRONMENT 1. This site lies directly adjacent to Bulwell Wood SSSI and Sites of Interest for Nature Conservation (SINC) to the east and to the north. The latter site comprises of a watercourse and ponds. The following measures are therefore proposed to avoid significant adverse effects on these areas of nature conservation interest and the links between them:- 2. The site should be self contained with vehicular and pedestrian access only from the existing industrial area to avoid human disturbance to those areas of nature conservation interest. 3. Hedges on all external site boundaries should be protected. 4. A tree planted buffer zone of a least 15 metres should be established on the northern and eastern site boundaries as they adjoin the stream valley and nature conservation sites. This will also assist in screening the site to the north. 5. A buffer zone of at least 25 metres should be established adjacent to Bulwell Wood SSSI. This should be managed as a mixture of grassland shrub and trees. 6. New tree planting to the south west of the site should be retained. 7. Tree and shrub species native to this area should be used in the buffer zones and within the development area itself. 8. Any development should be designed and constructed to avoid any adverse effects of drainage and run-off to the adjacent stream and ponds to the north. 9. A detailed ecological and landscape study should be carried out to ensure the above measures are carried out to best effect to minimise effects on adjoining nature conservation areas. C. TRANSPORT 1. Access to this site will be from the existing industrial estate as shown on the above plan. 2. A detailed transport assessment will be required for this site, in particular to assess the need for the following off-site, and any other on or off-site highway improvements. A number of off-site highway improvements may be necessary including contributions to the improvement of the Low Wood Road/Sellars Wood Road roundabout (including the pelican crossing) and improvements to the mini roundabout at Sellars Wood Road/Coventry Road. Improvements would also be required to a short length of Blenheim Lane, from an upgraded Camberley Road/Blenheim Lane roundabout, to connect to Bannerley Road and provide a second access route to the Industrial Estate. Contributions may also be required towards improvement of Nuthall Roundabout. 3. The site should be fully accessible for buses, pedestrians and cyclists. 4. Contributions towards transport will be required in accordance with Local Plan policy TR6. D. SERVICES 1. Reinforcements to water supply may be required due to low pressure. E. OTHER 1. Raised land to the south of the site is understood to be imported material. Any disturbance to this raised land will necessitate a contamination survey to assess the need for remedial measures to be taken. 2. The proposed layout and height of buildings on this site should not prejudice the take off and landing safety area for aeroplanes from the Rolls Royce flying club to the north of this site.

Employment Site Brief - Annesley Colliery

A. STRATEGIC/LOCATION 1. This site is located in close proximity to the M1 with access via the A608. The Colliery site was closed in early 2000 and this allocation for employment use will assist in the redevelopment and re-use of a previously used ('brownfield') site.

Employment Site Brief - Pinxton Lane, Sutton-in-Ashfield

A. STRATEGIC/LOCATION 1. This site is well located to take advantage of the excellent links via the A38 to the M1. A regular bus service and footpaths/cycleways also exist on the A38 which could be readily utilised to maximise non car access to the site. B. ENVIRONMENT 1. The Site of Interest for Nature Conservation (SINC) is centrally located on the site at the former railway line. This should be retained within any development proposal. An appropriate landscaped buffer zone should be established either side of the SINC site. A landscaped corridor of similar width, incorporating the proposed trail referred to in Section C, part 7 below, should be continued from the SINC site to Pinxton Lane. 2. Existing trees and hedges should be protected where possible and in particular on external site boundaries. 3. Major structural tree planting using native species will be required on higher ground to the east of the site and on the southern and southwestern site boundaries to minimise visual intrusion. 4. The design and layout of any scheme will be required to avoid any adverse impacts on watercourses. Any proposed water balancing area should be located adjacent to the nature conservation area in the centre of the site. This should be designed to enhance this nature conservation area. 5. The Eastern limit of built development will be required to be identified in detail taking into account existing and proposed levels, proposed building design and in particular heights, existing and proposed, landscaping and subsequently an overall assessment of the visual impact of the proposal. C. TRANSPORT 1. A detailed transport assessment will be required for this site which should include reference to the issues indicated below and any other on or off site requirements to provide a safe and convenient means of access to this site. 2. Access to the site should be provided from the A38 for vehicles, including public transport, cyclists and pedestrians. 3. Access from the site to the A38 should be combined with an improved Pinxton Lane as it meets the A38. The junction with the A38 would require upgrading and signals provided. 4. Emergency access should be provided form the site to the access road serving the factory retail outlet centre to the west of the site. This should also include a cycle and pedestrian link. 5. Design of the highway layout should facilitate bus access and turning. Ideally this should be through access utilising the emergency access referred to in 4 above. 6. The layout of the site should be pedestrian and cycle friendly including links to adjoining routes. These routes may require upgrading, particularly the cycle route on the A38. 7. A new landscaped path link for pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders should be established on the route of the old railway line which passes under the A38 and links to Pinxton Lane. The new route should link directly to the bridleway to the south of Pinxton Lane. Safe provisions should be made for crossing the roads. 8. The bridleway to the east of the site may need relocating to coincide with the proposed tree planted area to provide a safe and attractive new route. 9. A 'Green Transport Plan' must be submitted with any planning application for this site to demonstrate how the integration of public transport, cycling and pedestrian provision in the development will minimise travel to work by car and parking requirements. Car parking provision should be made within the maximum Council standards. Improvements will be required to public transport in the area to ensure this site is served by buses. The level of non car based provision, i.e. bus, cycle and pedestrian access, may allow a negotiated reduction in parking provision. 10. Contributions towards transport improvements will be required in accordance with Local Plan Policy TR6. 11. Consultation will need to be undertaken with the Highways Agency regarding the need to contribute towards potential improvements to junction 28 of M1. D. SERVICES 1. Possible off-site gas reinforcement required 2. Overhead power lines may need relocating. Major new electricity infrastructure works will be required including a new sub-station 3. Foul water will need to be taken to Common Road and a pumping station may be required. 4. On site surface water balancing is likely to be required. E. OTHER 1. Three potential areas of landfill are shown on the above plan. This will require further investigation to assess levels of contamination and identify any remedial measures required.

PLANNING CONDITIONS WILL BE IMPOSED OR A PLANNING OBLIGATION WILL BE NEGOTIATED AS APPROPRIATE TO SECURE COMPENSATORY MEASURES TO OFFSET ANY POTENTIAL ADVERSE EFFECTS OF NEW DEVELOPMENT ON THE WATER ENVIRONMENT AND ASSOCIATED LANDS.

Development in the Countryside

EV2(d): New buildings will be restricted in the Countryside (outside villages) to cases where it is essential for an appropriate Countryside use and the need for the proposed location has been established. Any new building should be at a scale which preserves the openness of the Countryside. One of the few circumstances in which isolated residential development in the Green Belt/Countryside may be justified is when accommodation is required to enable those employed in agriculture, or forestry to live at or in the immediate vicinity of their place of work. In such cases the local planning authority will require a functional test to satisfy itself that a dwelling is essential, and a financial test to ensure that the enterprise is economically viable, in accordance with the guidance in PPG7, Annex 1. EV2(e): To reflect PPG7, this policy does not restrict the nature of the new use to which existing buildings can be put. However, preference will be given where the re-use of a building would assist with the diversification of the rural economy for employment, recreational or tourism purposes. The re-use of a building for residential purposes may be acceptable if it is not possible to find an alternative appropriate use. To be acceptable any such proposal would need to be strictly sympathetic with the character of the Countryside, in particular its openness. EV2(f): Proposals to replace, alter or extend buildings can be acceptable where the form, bulk and general design is in keeping with the original building, where retained, and its surroundings. Replacement buildings should not be materially larger than the original building it replaces and should be designed in keeping with its surroundings. Extensions or alterations should not be disproportionate to the size of the original building. EV2(g): New dwellings will not normally be permitted in the open Countryside, although in some cases sensitive infilling may be acceptable within small settlements and hamlets. Infill will normally comprise one or two dwellings in a small gap in existing development. Not all small gaps are appropriate for infilling where, for example, they contribute towards the openness of the Countryside. Regard should also be made to the scale and character of the area when assessing a development. The above principles may also apply to infill for commercial, industrial, recreational or tourist purposes providing this would be in keeping and with the scale character of the area and would not adversely affect residential amenity. EV2(h): Fackley and Teversal are the only villages within the Countryside and are considered suitable for small scale infill development where appropriate. Teversal, however, is designated as a Conservation Area and part of the character of Teversal is made up of gardens, open spaces and open breaks between buildings. Whilst new development will generally be resisted in Teversal, some limited scope exists for the re-use of certain existing farm buildings within the village.

The Re-use of Buildings within the Green Belt or the Countryside

THE RE-USE OF BUILDINGS WITHIN THE GREEN BELT OR THE COUNTRYSIDE WILL BE PERMITTED WHERE:- a) THEIR FORM, BULK AND GENERAL DESIGN ARE IN KEEPING WITH THE SURROUNDINGS, b) THE CHARACTER OF THE BUILDING IS RETAINED, c) THE BUILDING IS OF PERMANENT AND SUBSTANTIAL CONSTRUCTION AND IS CAPABLE OF CONVERSION WITHOUT MAJOR OR COMPLETE RECONSTRUCTION, d) THE PROVISION OF A CURTILAGE WOULD NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT THE OPEN CHARACTER OF THE GREEN BELT OR COUNTRYSIDE, e) IT WOULD NOT RESULT IN AN UNACCEPTABLE PROLIFERATION OF REPLACEMENT FARM BUILDINGS.

Mature Landscape Areas

DEVELOPMENT WHICH DOES NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT THE CHARACTER AND QUALITY OF MATURE LANDSCAPE AREAS WILL BE PERMITTED.

Sites of Special Scientific Interest

PROPOSALS FOR DEVELOPMENT IN, OR LIKELY TO AFFECT, SITES OF SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST (SSSI) WILL BE SUBJECT TO SPECIAL SCRUTINY. WHERE SUCH DEVELOPMENT MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ON THE SSSI IT WILL NOT BE PERMITTED UNLESS THE REASONS FOR DEVELOPMENT CLEARLY OUTWEIGH THE NATURE CONSERVATION VALUE OF THE SITE ITSELF AND THE NATIONAL POLICY TO SAFEGUARD THE NATIONAL NETWORK OF SUCH SITES. WHERE DEVELOPMENT IS PERMITTED, CONSIDERATION WILL BE GIVEN TO THE USE OF PLANNING CONDITIONS OR PLANNING OBLIGATIONS TO ENSURE THE PROTECTION AND ENHANCEMENT OF THE SITE'S NATURE CONSERVATION INTEREST.

Local Nature Reserves and Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation and Geological Significance

DEVELOPMENT WHICH ADVERSELY LOCAL NATURE RESERVES OR SITES OF IMPORTANCE FOR NATURE CONSERVATION OR GEOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED WHERE:- a) PROVISION IS MADE WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT FOR THE PROTECTION OF FEATURES OF NATURE CONSERVATION OR GEOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE, OR b) THE DEVELOPMENT CANNOT BE LOCATED ELSEWHERE. IN THE CASE OF NATURE CONSERVATION FEATURES ADEQUATE PROVISION IS MADE FOR THE CREATION OF SIMILAR HABITATS, WHERE FEASIBLE, PREFERABLY IN THE LOCALITY, NEGOTIATED AND SECURED BY A PLANNING CONDITION OR PLANNING OBLIGATION.

Sites/Buildings Supporting Species Protected by Law

DEVELOPMENT WHICH WOULD ADVERSELY AFFECT SITES OR BUILDINGS SUPPORTING SPECIES PROTECTED BY LAW WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED WHERE:- a) PROVISION IS MADE WITHIN THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT TO AVOID OR MINIMISE DISTURBANCE TO THE SPECIES, OR b) PROVISION IS MADE FOR THE CREATION OF SIMILAR HABITATS, WHERE FEASIBLE, PREFERABLY WITHIN THE LOCALITY, NEGOTIATED AND SECURED BY A PLANNING OBLIGATION.

Trees and Woodlands

DEVELOPMENT WHICH ADVERSELY AFFECTS TREES WORTHY OF RETENTION, INCLUDING WOODLAND AND INDIVIDUAL TREES, WILL NOT BE PERMITTED. WHERE TREES ARE LOST AS A RESULT OF DEVELOPMENT, REPLACEMENT OR MITIGATING PLANTING WILL BE REQUIRED.

Agricultural Land

DEVELOPMENT OF THE BEST AND MOST VERSATILE AGRICULTURAL LAND (GRADES 1, 2 AND 3a) WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED WHERE:- a) THERE ARE NO REALISTIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR ACCOMMODATING THE DEVELOPMENT ON PREVIOUSLY-DEVELOPED SITES AND ON LAND WITHIN EXISTING URBAN AREAS; AND b) THERE ARE NO REALISTIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR ACCOMMODATING THE DEVELOPMENT ON POORER QUALITY AGRICULTURAL LAND (EXCEPT WHERE OTHER SUSTAINABILITY CONSIDERATIONS INDICATE OTHERWISE).

Development in the Green Belt

EV1(a): Appropriate development within the Green Belt can include engineering, mining or other operations and uses of land which preserves the openness of the Green Belt and do not conflict with the purpose of including land in it. EV1(b) i: Many agricultural and forestry buildings are covered by The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 and are permitted development. Where new buildings require planning permission, they should be restricted to cases where they are essential and where the need for the proposed location has been established. EV1(b) ii: Essential facilities for outdoor sport and outdoor recreation, for cemeteries and other uses of land should be genuinely required for uses which preserve the openness of the Green Belt and do not conflict with purposes of including land in it. EV1(b) iii: Proposed extensions or alterations should not be disproportionate to the size of the original building. Proposals should also respect the form, bulk and general design of the original building and not adversely affect its surroundings. Replacement buildings should not be materially larger than the original building it replaces and should be designed in keeping with its surroundings. Where an existing building is derelict or is structurally unsound, permission will not be granted for its replacement unless this has resulted from accidental damage, for example by fire, or subsidence, and in the case of replacement for residential purposes, it can be demonstrated that the residential use has not been abandoned. EV1(b) iv: It is not always desirable to preclude the implementation of certain infill proposals within villages in the Green Belt. The only villages 'washed over' by Green Belt are Bagthorpe, including Lower Bagthorpe, Middlebrook and New Bagthorpe, New Westwood, Jubilee and New Selston. Other smaller hamlets and outlying isolated settlements or extensions of other settlements within the Green Belt are not regarded as villages for the purpose of policy EV1(b)iv. EV1(c): Proposals to re-use existing buildings in the Green Belt may be acceptable, particularly where the resultant use is appropriate to the Green Belt such as for agriculture or forestry. Preference will be given where the re-use of a building would assist in the diversification of the rural economy through the provision of employment, recreational or tourism uses. The re-use of a building for residential purposes may be acceptable if it is not possible to find an alternative appropriate use. Proposed new uses should not have a materially harmful impact on the openness of the Green Belt particularly through their extension or the associated uses of surrounding land, for example, extensive hardstanding, car parking, boundary walling/fencing or extensive external storage.

Development in the Countryside

IN THE COUNTRYSIDE PERMISSION WILL ONLY BE GIVEN FOR APPROPRIATE DEVELOPMENT. DEVELOPMENT MUST BE LOCATED AND DESIGNED SO AS NOT TO ADVERSELY AFFECT THE CHARACTER OF THE COUNTRYSIDE, IN PARTICULAR ITS OPENNESS.
