1. The application site 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 If any coal mining features are 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
2. 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.
3. The development shall be carried out in accordance with the following approved plans and documents: Application Form - Received 18/12/2025 Location Plan - Received 18/12/2025 Existing Floor Plans & Elevations - Dwg N043/001 - Received 18/12/2025 Proposed Floor Plans & Elevations - Dwg N043/004 - Received 18/12/2025 Proposed Site Plan - Dwg N043/006 - Received 18/12/2025 Drainage & Flood Risk Assessment - Received 15/01/2026 Planting Details - Received 15/01/2026 REASON: To ensure that the development is carried out in accordance with the approved details.
4. No development shall commence until SAB approval has been obtained for the surface water drainage system. REASON: To reduce flood risk both on and off site and to ensure that surface water can be appropriately drained for the lifetime of the proposed development in accordance with Policy EN14 of the Flintshire Local Development Plan.
5. SAB Informative: Developments of more than 1 house or of 100m2 or more of construction area must also seek SAB approval alongside planning approval. You will not be allowed to start construction until the two permissions are both granted. The SAB approval process operates independently of the planning process. It is important to avoid situations where a scheme is granted planning permission but fails to secure SAB approval. To mitigate this risk, it is recommended that planning and SAB requirements are considered concurrently, and that relevant information is submitted in parallel to both authorities. This can be best achieved by submitting simultaneous applications for planning permission and SAB approval. Where this is not feasible, a Drainage Statement should accompany the planning application. This statement should clearly demonstrate how Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) will be integrated into the scheme, thereby giving confidence that the scheme is likely to comply with SAB requirements. Under Schedule 3 of the Flood and Water Management Act (FWMA) 2010, all new developments must ensure that surface water drainage complies with mandatory National SuDS Standards. Further information can be found at: https://gov.wales/topics/environmentcountryside/epq/flooding/drainage/?lang=en TAN 15 aligns with Schedule 3 of the Flood and Water Management Act 2010, which mandates that all new developments use SuDS designed to national standards in Wales.
6. Any dead or dying plants in the first 5 years are to be replaced and the hedge is to be maintained in perpetuity. REASON: To ensure that the site is suitably landscaped in the interest of local amenity and in accordance with policies PC2 and PC3 of the Flintshire Local Development Plan.
7. Facilities shall be provided and retained within the site for the parking and turning of vehicles. Such facilities being completed prior to the proposed development being brought into use. To ensure that adequate parking and maneuvering space is made and to avoid the necessity for reversing movements into or from the highway in the interests of highway safety and maintaining the free flow of traffic on the adjoining highway in compliance with Policy PC5 of the Flintshire Local Development Plan.
