Construct single/ two storey rear extension

Councillor V C Smith had requested that application be determined by Committee.

The late items, which were noted by the Committee, were comprised of advice on the Supplementary Planning Document and an additional condition.

There were no public speakers.

The debate was had, with the focus being the size and scale of the application in comparison to the plot which would limit the amount of light to the windows in the proposed extension, and would impact on any future resident’s amenity. There were also comments on the lack of garden space and the limited road space outside the property, which would mean the intensification of development would have an impact on the character of the area and neighbour amenity. 

RESOLVED that planning permission be refused due to the liveability of the proposed development, the intensification it represented and its impact on the character of the area, with the precise wording of the refusal and conditions delegated to the Chair of Planning Committee in agreement with the Planning Manager and the Head of Planning and Economic Development.

Reasons

The proposed development would provide neither adequate external storage and amenity space, particularly given the increased intensity of use, nor a satisfactory degree of amenity for occupiers, particularly in respect of daylighting, outlook and adequacy of floor space, contrary to Policy 10 of the Broxtowe Aligned Core Strategy (2014), Policy 17 of the Broxtowe Part 2 Local Plan (2019) and the Homes and Buildings Characteristic of the National Design Guide.
