1. 1.; The application provides insufficient information to demonstrate that a satisfactory layout could be provided on site which allows for the storage and collection of waste. As such, the development proposed would be contrary to with Policies LP15, LP21 and LP24 of the Kirklees Local Plan, Principle 19 of the Council’s Housebuilders Design Guide SPD, and the National Planning Policy Framework PO Box 1720 HD1 9EL Plans and specifications schedule: - Plan Type Reference Revision Date Received Flood Risk Assessment 13/03//2026 Proposed Plans 26-004-01 13/03/2026 Pursuant to article 35 (2) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) Order 2015 and guidance in the National Planning Policy Framework, the Local Planning Authority have, where possible, made a pre-application advice service available, complied with the Kirklees Development Management Charter 2024 and otherwise actively engaged with the applicant in dealing with the application. As set out in the report, officers were unable to find a sufficient solution to waste management on site and due to the time constraints associated with the application a determination was made. Development within a Coal Mining Area DEVELOPMENT HIGH RISK AREA - INFORMATIVE NOTE The proposed development lies 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.
