Surfacing of the existing equine track using permeable materials to support safe year round horse movement and protect recovering pasture

1. The development hereby approved shall be commenced before the expiration of five years from the date of this permission. REASON: To comply with the requirements of Sections 91 to 93 of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1990.
2. The development shall be carried out in accordance with the following approved plans and documents: Application Form – Redacted – Date received 14.01.26 Amended 30.01.26 - Existing Block Plan – Date received 30.01.26 Amended 30.01.26 - Proposed Block Plan – Date received 30.01.26 Photographs – Date received 14.01.26 Location Plan – Date received 14.01.26 Proposed Site Context Plan – Date received 14.01.26 Proposed Site Context Plan – Date received 14.01.26 Proposed Designated Sites & Priority Habitats Plan – Date received 14.01.26 Proposed Baseline Habitats Plan - Date received 14.01.26 REASON: To ensure that the development is carried out in accordance with the approved details.
3. No hard surfacing should be installed within 1m from the outside edge of any native hedgerow. REASON: To ensure the protection of the hedgerows and maintain their value for foraging and commuting amphibians and small mammals and comply with the requirements of Policy STR13 of the Flintshire Local Development Plan
4. The proposed development lies partly within an area that has been defined by the Mining Remediation Authority as containing coal mining features at surface or shallow depth. These features may include: mine entries (shafts and adits); shallow coal workings; geological features (fissures and break lines); mine gas and former surface mining sites. Although such features are seldom readily visible, they can often be present and problems can occur, particularly as a result of new development taking place. Any form of development over or within the influencing distance of a mine entry can be dangerous and raises significant land stability and public safety risks. As a general precautionary principle, the Mining Remediation Authority considers that the building over or within the influencing distance of a mine entry should be avoided. In exceptional circumstance where this is unavoidable, expert advice must be sought to ensure a suitable engineering design which takes account of all relevant safety and environmental risk factors, including mine gas and mine-water. Your attention is drawn to the Mining Remediation Authority Policy in relation to new development and mine entries available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/building-on-or-within-the-influencing-distance-of-mine-entries. Any intrusive activities which disturb or enter any coal seams, coal mine workings or coal mine entries (shafts and adits) requires a Mining Remediation Authority Permit. Such activities could include site investigation boreholes, excavations for foundations, piling activities, other ground works and any subsequent treatment of coal mine workings and coal mine entries for ground stability purposes. Application forms for Mining Remediation Authority permission and further guidance can be obtained from The Mining Remediation Authority’s website at: www.gov.uk/get-a-permit-to-deal-with-a-coal-mine-on-your-property What is a permit and how to get one? – https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/permit-process/permit-process In areas where shallow coal seams are present caution should be taken when carrying out any on site burning or heat focused activities. If any future development has the potential to encounter coal seams which require excavating, for example excavation of building foundations, service trenches, development platforms, earthworks, non-coal mineral operations, an Incidental Coal Agreement will be required. Further information regarding Incidental Coal Agreements can be found here - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/incidental-coal-agreement/guidance-notes-for-applicants-for-incidental-coal-agreements If any coal mining feature is unexpectedly encountered during development, this should be reported immediately to the Mining Remediation Authority on 0800 288 4242. Further information is available on the Mining Remediation Authority website at: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/mining-remediation-authority.
