Decision details

Construction of single storey and first floor rear extension

12 Rochester Court, Nuthall, Nottinghamshire, NG6 8WL

The application was deferred by the Committee at the meeting of 2 February 2022 to allow the applicant to consider a reduction in the size of the proposed development.

There was a late item comprised of an objection to the application by a local resident.

Beverley Shepherds, objecting, addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.

During the discussion of the application consideration was given to the size of the plot alongside the scale of the proposed development and the impact that this would have on neighbour amenity, privacy and light.  It was noted that although there had been some modifications to the original proposal, these did not significantly reduce the size of the extension.

RESOLVED that Planning permission be refused with the specific wording of the refusal to be delegated to the Chair of the Planning Committee in agreement with the Head of Planning and Economic Development.

Reasons

The two storey rear extension, by virtue of its scale and location, would create an unacceptable impact on the amenity of the neighbouring property in terms of loss of light and privacy. This would be contrary to Policy 17 of the Broxtowe Part 2 Local Plan (2019) and Policy 10 of the Aligned Core Strategy (2014).
