Some useful information about responding to planning applications
I HAVE COMMENTED ON A PLANNING APPLICATION. WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Q1. I have made comments on a planning application. What happens now?
A. If you have made comments on an application, the Case Officer will take them into account when forming a recommendation on the application.
Q2. Are all applications reported to the Planning Board?
A. No. Most applications are determined by the Executive Director (Operations) in conjunction with the Chairman of the Planning Board, acting under Delegation, without going to the Planning Board. The Planning Board will only consider proposals falling into the following categories:-
Decisions on proposals that, in the opinion of the Executive Director (Operations) or the Chairman of the Planning Board are of significant public interest and/or would have a major impact on the environment, or should otherwise be reported to Members
Any application by the Borough Council or submitted by applicants on behalf of the Borough Council, or on Council-owned land,
Any application by a current Member or Officer of the Borough Council,
All applications where the Local Member of the Borough Council has, within 28 days of the start of the notification period made a request in writing to the Executive Director (Operations) that the application is referred to the Planning Board. If a local member is unable to act, another member nominated by them or by the Chairman of the Planning Board may act in their place.
The approval of "Development and Design Briefs" in advance of development proposals.
Q3. Are my comments confidential?
A. No. By Law, under the Local Government (Access to Information) Act 1985, your representations cannot be confidential and will be kept on file. The contents of letters about applications must be made available to the applicant(s), the public and the press, and may be copied. If you wish to reconsider your comments because of this, please let the Executive Director (Operations) know urgently.
Q4. Will there be further contact with me?
A. No, not normally. Due to the large number of comments received and questions raised about planning applications, regrettably the Council cannot enter into individual discussion or correspondence. The Case Officer will seek to resolve any fundamental questions and concerns that you may have raised. This will be done either through negotiated amendments and conditions or addressed in a recommendation to the Planning Board. Whatever the case you will be advised of the decision.
Q5. If the application is changed will I be notified?
A. Yes. But only if the change is significant. Where possible Case Officers will try to negotiate improvements to resolve objections. If you are re-notified, you will be able to make further comments, or withdraw objections.
Q6. Where and when can I see the Report of the Director of Borough Development?
A. Reports are available on the Council’s Website at www.ambervalley.gov.uk 7 days prior to the Planning Board meeting. A hard copy of the agenda is also available to view at the Council Offices. If the Planning Board Report raises issues upon which you wish to comment you will need to provide your comments before 5.00 pm on the Thursday preceding the Planning Board meeting. Comments received after this time will not be considered.
Q7. May I obtain a copy of the Report of the Director of Borough Development or details of the application?
A. Yes, but there is a charge for each document copied if this is done at the Council’s offices.
Q8. When does the Planning Board meet?
A. Once a month, in the Council Chamber, Town Hall, Market Place, Ripley. If you have made representations and the application is to be determined by the Planning Board you will be notified in writing of the time and date of the Planning Board meeting.
Q9. May I attend and speak to the Planning Board?
A. You may attend, and speak for three minutes about the planning application you have commented on. An area of seating is reserved for the public. Alternatively a Councillor may speak on your behalf. Details of your local Borough Councillor(s) are included in the letter of acknowledgement.
Q10. How much will objections influence the decision on an application?
A. The Council’s decision will be based on Government Guidance, policies contained in the Amber Valley Borough Local Plan and relevant planning considerations. An application is normally approved unless the development is not in accordance with planning policy or it raises serious technical issues. Objections must relate to these factors in order to influence the decision.
Q11. Are all objections valid?
A. No. The Council is unable to, and will refuse to, take into account private (Civil) rights, restrictive covenants, ownership, boundary or other legal disputes. In law there is no right to an unrestricted view from your property. Commercial competition and loss of property value are not relevant planning considerations.
Q12. Does the Planning Board always make the final decision on an application referred to it?
A. Yes, but a small number of applications may be referred to Full Council before a decision is made.
Q13. If I choose not to attend any meetings, how will I know when the decision has been made?
A. The Executive Director (Operations) will write to you shortly after the meeting and send you a copy of the decision. You will then have your rights, and those of the applicant, explained.
Q14. Can I obtain further help from the Council if I need to know more?
A. Yes, of course. The Development Management Team will try to help answer any remaining questions - please note, however, that the Council has only a limited time to determine each application. The Officer handling the case may not be readily available to discuss the application. If you require clarification of any issue, please make initial contact with the Technical Administration Team on 01773 841571 or e-mail [email protected]

At its meeting on the 5th April 2019, the Labour controlled Heanor and Loscoe Town Council also expressed concerns that the proposed reduction in community funding for the building of 170 houses at the bottom of Fall Road was to go to a delegated decision despite objections from Derbyshire County Council, the Town Council and local Labour Borough Councillors.

• American Adventure Theme Park, Pit Lane, Shipley 307 houses
The report justifying the removal of the greenbelt at Peatburn Av for 140 houses is set out below
Peatburn Avenue, Heanor
6.56 This site is reasonably accessible to local services and facilities and employment opportunities and offers the potential for environmental improvements and enhanced public open space/recreation provision, as well as new housing development.
The site has potential for 140 dwellings within the Plan period, with 85 of those dwellings expected to be delivered by 31 March 2024 and therefore contributing to the 5 year supply requirement
6.57 The Green Belt Stage 2 assessment of this site concludes that development would have a low to medium impact on parcel 31 and that the impact of development on the wider strategic Green Belt function would be medium.
Some mitigation measures would be required to establish a strong defensible Green Belt boundary around the edges of the site.
6.58 Officers therefore consider that having regard to the conclusions of the Green Belt Review in relation to parcel 31 and the Stage 2 assessment of the potential site, together with the benefits that could be provided through development in this location, that there are ‘exceptional circumstances’ to justify an amendment to the Green Belt boundary to delete land from the Green Belt and that the site should be proposed as an additional Housing Growth Site in the Local Plan. It is proposed that the area of land to be deleted from the Green Belt should extend beyond the southern boundary of the site, to include an existing playing field, in order to create a stronger, more defensible Green Belt boundary. The playing field will however continue to be protected against built development in accordance with national and local planning policies.

Amber Valley Tories propose to remove a large stretch of the greenbelt from the land between Heanor Gate School and Kingsway/Douglas Avenue for 140 houses Also some of the greenbelt adjacent to Ilkeston Road for 35 houses see the attached maps at Agenda Item 11 appendix B

Following last night's meeting at Amber Valley it would appear the Tory Councillor responsible for public safety does not think there is an anti social behaviour problem in Heanor and has refused a request from the local Labour Councillors and the Town Council to review the CCTV cameras in the Town. She said she may look at it in 12 months . Hopefully, she will not be there following May's local elections and we will get some action
When is a vote not a vote
When its Amber Valley Planning Board
At this weeks meeting the members voted on a planning application for additional housing at Gregg Avenue Heanor. Five Tories voted to approve the application 5 Labour Voted against ( The Heanor West Tory Councillor Steven Grainger abstained ) Yet the Chairman of the meeting Tory Cllr Norman Bull stated that the application was approved after he raised his hand to vote realising that it was a tied vote.

Funding Lifeline Unveiled For Community Crime-Fighters
New funding worth £200,000 is available for community heroes and youth workers who can help prevent crime in Derbyshire.
Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner Hardyal Dhindsa launched the latest round of his Community Action Grant scheme which invites community-run organisations to apply for large grants to aid their work.
Individual grants of up to £25,000 are available for large projects which will make lives safer and help vulnerable people break free from the revolving cycle of offending.
The cash is part of a £275,000 funding pot which the Commissioner will distribute throughout 2018-19 to worthy charities, community groups and not-for-profit bodies to transform lives and give people greater choice over their future.
Of this amount, £200,000 will be allocated in large grants while £75,000 has been reserved for smaller projects allocated in three separate rounds during the financial year, each receiving a maximum of £2,500.
Commenting on the launch, Mr Dhindsa said: "One of the most rewarding parts of this job is being able to support change within our communities. My Community Action Grant empowers community champions to resolve problems in their own way and make a long-term impact to public safety.
"The years of austerity have been painfully felt by our community leaders and I'm proud to be able to invest vital funds to give these projects the lift they need to achieve their goals. There is, however, a very robust application process to ensure the projects we support deliver the best possible outcomes for local people and this year will be no exception.
"Naturally, my large grants scheme attracts many worthy candidates and I would urge those organisations considering applying to do their homework. To be successful, you must present evidence of results and support the priorities outlined in my Police and Crime Plan to reduce harm and deliver positive change."
The opportunity to apply for larger grants is open for applications from October 1 to November 30. Project managers are invited to apply for amounts between £2,501 and £25,000 to support large scale crime prevention work.
Among a number of priorities in the spotlight is tackling vulnerability, supporting victims of crime, maintaining strong and effective partnerships, tackling drugs and alcohol, supporting those with mental health issues and working with young people to prevent reoffending.
Previous recipients of funding include sports groups, education initiatives, ‘awareness' campaigns and youth engagement.
Decisions will be made in January 2018 and successful projects will be expected to commence from April 1 2019. The deadline for applications is November 30.

Labour Council to develop an Investment and Regeneration Plan for Town
Labour controlled Heanor and Loscoe Town Council have made a commitment to develop an Investment and Regeneration Plan for the Town.
Council Leader Councillor Paul Jones said 'We have been waiting a long time for partner agencies to help towards this and given the lack of movement on this we felt that we could not wait any longer. We feel that we are having things done to our community which are not in its best interest. The Borough Council's housing strategy is a good example of the larger authority using Heanor and Loscoe to resolve its housing problems without properly thinking through the consequences for local facilities and infrastructure. We have been waiting two years for them to come up with an Economic Strategy but nothing has been forthcoming. We cannot wait any longer so we intend to develop our own.'
The Town Council are also deeply concerned about the impact on its community of the Borough Council's local plan and has made the following comments
HGS8-Whysall Street Heanor
This proposed site for around 75 houses is in the ownership of two different local authorities but also provided parking facilities for the community, others parts of the proposal are in third party ownership, therefore any development would be complicated and difficult and we are not convinced achievable within the timeframe of the local plan. Given that the Borough Council has not replaced the Heanor Masterplan we would expect it to ensure any proposals meet its fundamental principles. This site is not one of them and any future proposal should be done in discussion with the Town Council.
HSG1 Thorpes Road Heanor
The proposal to develop the site for over 30 houses is one which should not be even up for consideration. Over the last 10+ years of developing the local plan this site has never been in for consideration.
This area has been a valued local open space for the residents of Heanor be they dog walkers, golfers etc., for many years and would be a great loss to our community.
This area has a notorious problem with car parking due to the industrial estate and residents of Thorpes Road have continuously complained about this without any action being taken to resolve this. We feel that providing any development on this area will only exacerbate the situation for these residents. The proposal is also an over development of the site with the local school not able to take an additional pupils due to the development of the former Council-owned land at the back of Old Coppice Side
We still have grave concerns about the proposed development of Leafy Lane Heanor ( HGS1), another area owned by the Council, has been up for development proposals for over 5 years and we are not confident that it will be developed within the time frame of the plan

Demolished hospital lives on as recycled material - while artist’s impression shows a glimpse of the future of healthcare in Heanor
Nearly all the material from the recently demolished former Heanor Memorial Hospital has been recycled, as part of meeting the highest environmental standards for the town’s healthcare project.
The painstaking brick-by-brick approach to the removal of the outdated building, managed by Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust, was completed in late October, leaving a clear space in which the new healthcare facilities will be built. An artist’s image is attached of how the new facilities will look when they open in 2017.
In total, the demolition involved the removal of 1,023 tonnes of material, of which 1,018 tonnes was recycled. The total tonnage of material taken off the site also included five tonnes of asbestos, safely removed.
The recycled material included:
"We are working to building specifications which aspire to meet the BREEAM Excellent for Healthcare standards, as the leading and most widely used environmental assessment method for best practice in sustainable design.”
Winn Jones from East Midlands Demolition Ltd, who were contracted to carry out the demolition and site clearance, said: "All the hard core waste was taken to two recycling centres in Derby, so it can be recycled and sold on to local contractors for use on construction projects.”
He added: "There were no real surprises when we started the demolition, apart from finding
huge underground walls that formed the basement areas. These were dug out during the excavation works and sent for recycling.”
The bulldozers and demolition team moved off site on 22 October, one day ahead of schedule after a six week project to demolish and remove the outdated hospital structure from the site.
It follows the outcome of a public consultation, launched in July 2014, to work out the best steps forward for healthcare in Heanor after the discovery of asbestos at the old hospital in September 2013.
Designs for the new healthcare facility, which will replace the old hospital, have been on display in the local community. The purpose-designed facilities will include space suitable for a wide range of outpatient services, including:

Council Leader disappointed about lack of support for whole council elections
Councillor Paul Jones, Leader of Amber Valley Borough Council, has expressed his disappointment that the Council will not be changing its election cycle from holding Borough Council elections by thirds, to whole Council elections for all Councillors of the Borough. Despite all Members of the controlling Labour Group on the Council voting in favour of the proposal, a majority of at least two-thirds of Members present and voting was necessary to achieve the change, and all members of the opposition Conservative Group voted against the proposal.
In recommending the change during the debate on Monday evening, Cllr Jones had said that it would create greater political stability over the four-year period and help reduce costs to local Council Tax payers, referring to the officers’ advice that £235,000 could be saved over the 4 year period.
Commenting after the decision, Cllr Jones said,
“Earlier in the evening we had heard how the level of Government grant in 2015/16 was being reduced by a further £830,000 and the outlook for 2016/17 onwards was no better. The Council must assume that a further £1.5 million per annum will need to be identified as savings over the next 3 years in order to be able to match the current withdrawal of funding. The move to whole council elections was seen as a means of achieving some of those savings and limiting damaging effects on key Council services. Regrettably this opportunity has been removed.”

ST LAWRENCE CHURCH, MARKET PLACE, HEANOR......
Campaigning in Heanor with Kevin Gillott, Amber Valley Parliamentary Candidate, Toby Perkins MP for Chesterfield and party activists. Looking to crush the candy king Nigel Mills — with Christopher Emmas-Williams, Kevin Gillott, Richard Robinson and Toby Perkins at Heanor Labour Club.
We understand the majority of closures of the police facilities will be in 2015/16, with Langley Mill in 2016/17 and Heanor in 2017/18.
The police has stated that before any station closes there will be an alternative 'base' provision for the Safer Neighbourhood Team Officers and ensure that they are embedded in their communities.
For those in our communities who are concerned about these proposals I suggest they write to their local MPs and ask them to lobby the Government to stop these savage attacks on public services as it is putting our communities at risk

Council Leader Expresses Disappointment at Derby College Decision
Leader of Amber Valley Borough Council, Cllr Paul Jones, has expressed his disappointment at Derby College’s decision to sell its site on Mundy Street, Heanor. He said:
“The loss of the studio school was a bitter blow for Heanor and this announcement that the college is pulling out of the town is deeply disappointing. It is also regrettable that the College’s property consultant did not seek the Council’s views on the future of the site before the announcement was made. The Council has worked with the College in the past and we would like to continue our relationship, ensuring that the site is developed in a way that will benefit the residents and businesses of Heanor and protects the former grammar school, which is a grade 2 listed building.
