Decision details

Construct two detached dwellings

Lockup Garages, Chetwynd Road, Toton Nottinghamshire 

The application was deferred by the Committee on 8 June 2022 to allow the developer to address concerns about the design of the proposed development, specifically the layout of the site with plot two too close to existing properties.  There was also concern regarding the size of the proposed houses.

There were no late items for the Committee to note.

Alistair Harris, objecting, addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.

The Committee considered the height of the proposed development, noting that a previous planning permission for bungalows had been conditioned to remove permitted development rights for the roof space.  There was concern that few changes had been made to the original application to address the impact on neighbour amenity resulting from overdevelopment, the configuration of the site and the proximity of the houses to existing properties.

          RESOLVED that planning permission be refused with the precise wording of the refusal delegated to the Chair of the Planning Committee and the Planning Manager.

Reasons

The submitted scheme, by virute of its siting, size and scale creates an overbearing and overly dominant impact on meighbouring properties, to the detriment of the amneity of neighbouring properties. The poropsed devleopment is therefore contrary to Policy 10 of the Broxtowe Aligned Core Strategy (2014) and Policy 17 of the Broxtowe Part 2 Local Plan (2019).
