Provision of pedestrian crossing on Hickings Lane

Carpenter Court, Site of Former Sinbad Plant Ltd, Hickings Lane, Stapleford, NG9 8PJ

Provision of pedestrian crossing on Hickings Lane

Carpenter Court, Site of Former Sinbad Plant Ltd, Hickings Lane, Stapleford

NG9 8PJ

Planning permission had been granted to construct 48 retirement living apartments in November 2016 accompanied by a Section 106 payment of £40,000 to the Council towards the provision of a pedestrian crossing.  Two sites for the crossing had been identified and both were considered by the Committee. 

It was noted that there were no late items regarding this item.

Mrs Susan Hobson (supporting option 1), Ms Maria White (supporting option 2), Councillor Richard MacRae, Ward Member, and Councillor John Longdon, Ward Member, addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.

The Committee debated the item, noting that both sites had been assessed as safe places to have a pedestrian crossing.  It was considered that, because the Section 106 funding related to Carpenter Court, the crossing should be placed at option 1, closer to the development and with the needs of those residents in mind.  It was noted that should there be a need for a second crossing at the option 2 site, this would be a matter for Nottinghamshire County Council. 

          RESOLVED that the Council progresses with option 1 (between Maranello Cars/KAM Servicing and the Co-op) and that consultants be instructed to carry out the necessary works to provide a crossing in this location. 

(Having declared a non-pecuniary interest Councillor R D MacRae left the meeting prior to the debate and did not vote thereon.)

Bin store not built in accordance with the approved plans

(16/00646/FUL)

Former Victory Club, Walker Street, Eastwood, Nottinghamshire NG16 3EN

It was noted that this item had been considered by the Committee on 12 September 2018 and that at that meeting the resolution had been to take enforcement action against the bin store which had been constructed in the wrong location.  The Committee were advised that the developer had proposed to lessen the impact on the amenity of the occupants at 145 Nottingham Road by reducing the fence height of the compound to 1.5 metres so that it could not be seen and by making it a bicycle storage facility.

There were no late items or representations from public speakers for the Committee to consider.

The Committee debated the possibility of noise emanating from the new bicycle storage facility and concerns that it could attract antisocial behaviour and crime. 

Councillor P D Simpson proposed that the recommendation be amended to secure a specific amended planning application for the compound, which would be subject to new conditions.  Should the developer fail to submit the application within two months of the date of the Committee, enforcement action would be taken.  Councillor L A Ball BEM seconded the motion. Councillor D Bagshaw proposed a recorded vote in respect of the aforementioned proposal and Councillor G Marshall seconded the motion which, on being put to the meeting was carried.  The voting was as follows:

In the event of the vote being tied the Chair’s casting vote carried the motion.

          RESOLVED that a specific amended planning application for the bin and cycle store be secured with this needing to be submitted within two months of the Committee.

The Committee is asked to NOTE that the position remains unchanged from that reported at its meeting on 22 March 2017.  The Council is not therefore currently at risk of special measures based on the figures reported to Committee on the aforementioned date.
