Decision details

The Committee reviewed one of three options for the HRA owned site at 51 Ilkeston Road, Bramcote (also known as Fishpond Cottage).

An extensive consultation exercise was undertaken in late 2020 on a proposal to build 9 new homes including the demolition of the cottage.  Following comments received from the consultation exercise, the layout plans and the initial proposal to demolish the cottage were revised.   A planning application was submitted in February 2021 which kept the cottage and proposed 5 new build homes on the site consisting of 2 houses, 2 flats and an adapted ‘wheelchair’ house.        

The planning application was approved by planning committee in June 2021.  Ward members have subsequently approached the Council seeking revisions to the approved scheme due to the level of objections received from the local community. 

An amendment to recommendation option 3, for a new application to be submitted for 2 adapted houses and 1 adapted bungalow was proposed by Councillor S Carr and seconded by Councillor  Land. A recorded vote was proposed Councillor Carr and seconded by Councillor Land.
