The application was brought to the Committee at the request of Councillor S J Carr.

Members considered the late items for the application which included 25 letters of objection against the proposed development and two letters of support.

Mr Sandit Leihal (applicant), Mr Neville Bostock (objecting) and Councillor B C Carr (Ward Member) addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.

Members debated the application with particular reference to the parking problems that already exist on Peveril Road and Marlborough Road and the impact of the proposed development on homes on Cedar Avenue including loss of light and privacy.  There was also concern that purpose built student accommodation was failing to take pressure off the general housing stock.

Debate progressed on to the size of the development which was considered to be overwhelming for the plot and too tall in comparison with neighbouring properties. 

RESOLVED that planning permission be refused.

Reason

The application proposes the overdevelopment of the plot to the detriment of neighbour amenity. 

Proposed alterations to site access roadway, improvements to main road junction, alterations to existing coal stock yard site entrance and new commercial development comprising B1C, B2 and B8 units with associated roadways, hard-standings and landscaping.

The request for this item to be brought before Planning Committee was made by Councillors J M Owen and R D Willimott.

There were no late items for the Committee to note.

Mr Charles Holehouse (applicant) addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.

Councillor R D Willimott asked for his comments to be recorded as follows:

In an email from Nottinghamshire County Council, they ask for the provision of such a crossing near to the existing bus stops. However, in their response to the current application this provision is omitted. I would support the application with the reinstatement of a crossing with a refuge as originally proposed.  This measure would follow the recent precedent set by the provision of such a crossing on Main Road as part of the Aerofab Development at approximately 250 metres north of this location.

The debate also included comments regarding traffic problems relating to the site and the dust caused by open storage of coal and gypsum on the site. 

It was proposed by Councillor D K Watts and seconded by Councillor J W McGrath that the item be deferred to allow the clarification of Nottinghamshire County Council’s position on the need for a pedestrian crossing and for consideration to be given a condition regarding open storage on the site.

RESOLVED that the application be deferred.

Miss Danielle Asano (applicant) and Mr Norman Ronald (objecting) addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.

There were two late items comprised of a letter in support of the application and a letter documenting changes to the proposed development from the applicant.

The debate included noting that the proposed changes were sympathetic to the style of the property and that they would not have a material impact on openness of the Green Belt or neighbour amenity.

The Committee noted the delegated decisions.
