Summary
The Planning Committee of Bolsover Council convened on 19 June 2024 to discuss several key planning applications and updates. Decisions were made on various development projects, including the Creswell Growth Plan and a new housing development in Shirebrook.
Creswell Growth Plan
The committee reviewed the Creswell Growth Plan - Consultation Draft, which outlines the proposed development and regeneration strategies for Creswell. The plan aims to boost local economic growth, improve infrastructure, and enhance community facilities. Councillors debated the potential benefits and challenges of the plan, with some expressing concerns about the environmental impact and the need for sustainable development. The committee decided to move forward with the consultation phase, allowing residents and stakeholders to provide feedback.
Shirebrook Cemetery Housing Development
A significant discussion centred around the housing development at Shirebrook Cemetery. The application, referenced as 23.00640.VAR, proposed the construction of new residential units adjacent to the cemetery. Proponents argued that the development would address the housing shortage in the area and provide much-needed affordable homes. However, opponents raised concerns about the proximity to the cemetery and potential disruption to the community. The committee approved the application, emphasising the importance of meeting housing demands while ensuring respectful integration with the existing environment.
Quarterly Update on S106 Agreement Monitoring
The committee received a quarterly update on S106 Agreement Monitoring. Section 106 agreements are legal agreements between local authorities and developers, ensuring that certain community benefits are delivered as part of planning permissions1. The update highlighted the progress of ongoing projects and the fulfilment of obligations by developers. Councillors noted the importance of these agreements in securing funding for local infrastructure and community projects.
Other Planning Applications
Several other planning applications were discussed, including:
- Application 24.00144.VAR for a variation of conditions on a previously approved development.
- Application 23.00644.FUL for a new commercial building.
- Application 24.00102.FUL for a residential extension.
Each application was reviewed in detail, with considerations given to local planning policies, community impact, and environmental sustainability. Decisions were made based on the merits of each case, with some applications approved and others deferred for further information.
The meeting underscored the council's commitment to balanced development, community engagement, and sustainable growth.

Section 106 agreements are part of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, which allows local authorities to enter into legally binding agreements with developers to mitigate the impact of new developments. ↩
