Minutes:

Construct detached single storey dwelling

Garden At 55 Mansfield Road Brinsley Nottinghamshire NG16 5AF

 

This application was brought before the Committee for consideration by Councillor M Radulovic MBE.

 

The late items noted that after the publication of the agenda for the Committee a request was made for photographs of a similar development be circulated.  It was noted that these had been sent to all members of the Committee through the lobbying process.

 

Sue Gilbourne, on behalf of the applicant, made representation to the Committee prior to the general debate. 

 

Having given consideration to the evidence before it the Committee debated the application. 

 

It was proposed by Councillor D K Watts that the application be deferred to gather further information.

 

It was proposed by the Councillor D Bagshaw and seconded by Councillor S P Jeremiah that there be a brief recess in order that more information about the application be provided.

 

On being put the meeting the motion was carried.

 

The meeting resumed, the information requested was provided and Councillor D K Watts withdrew his proposal to defer the application.  The debate centred on the lack of very special circumstances to justify the negative impact that the proposed development would have on the openness and amenity of the Green Belt.

 

RESOLVED that planning permission be refused for the following reasons:

 

1.

The site lies within the Nottinghamshire Green Belt, where in accordance with paragraph 152 of the NPPF, inappropriate development is by definition harmful and should not be approved except in very special circumstances. The proposal constitutes inappropriate development as the detached dwelling would not be classed as an infill development and as a result would have a detrimental impact on the openness of the Green Belt. There have been no special circumstances demonstrated and the proposal is therefore contrary to Policy 8 of the Broxtowe Part 2 Local Plan (2019) and paragraph 152 and 154 e) of the National Planning Policy Framework (2023) and there are no other material considerations that justify treating this proposal as an exception.

 

2.

The position of the proposed dwelling south of 55 Mansfield Road Brinsley is considered out of character with the area due to the context, where it would be viewed as an incongruous addition within the streetscape, and as a result is considered out of character with the pattern of development within the area and as such fails to comply to Policy 17 of the Part 2 Local Plan and the NPPF.

 

 

NOTES TO APPLICANT
