Councillor J C Patrick had requested that this application be determined by the Committee.

The Committee noted that an email from a local resident outlining their objection to the development had been included in the late items.

Mr Ian Collier, objecting, and Councillor J C Patrick, Ward Member, addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.

The design of the apartments was discussed with particular reference to the appearance of the exterior, the height of the block in relation to homes on Barrydale Avenue and the small size of the living space in the flats.  The Committee noted that 15 car parking spaces would be created as part of the proposed development.

There was a discussion about the allocation of Section 106 monies.  It was agreed that the Chair of Planning Committee, the Head of Neighbourhoods and Prosperity and Ward Members for Beeston West would consider whether there was enough evidence to suggest a direct link between the development and increased use of West End Community Centre to reallocate funding from other identified projects.  It was noted that any amendment to the proposed uses for Section 106 monies would have to be brought before the Committee for approval.

An amendment was proposed by Councillor R I Jackson and seconded by Councillor L A Ball BEM that a condition be added to require the lower section of all first and second floor windows and Juliet balconies in the rear elevation to be obscurely glazed, with the precise wording to be agreed with the Head of Neighbourhoods and Prosperity and the Chair.  On being put to the meeting, the amendment was carried.

          RESOLVED that:

The Head of Neighbourhoods and Prosperity be given delegated authority to grant planning permission subject to:

(i)     the prior completion of an agreement under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and

Note to Applicant

The Council has acted positively and proactively in the determination of this application by working to determine it within the eight week determination timescale.

Construction of detached bungalow with six

unauthorised velux windows added in rear elevation

Construction of detached bungalow with six unauthorised velux windows added in rear elevation

176 Moorgreen, Newthorpe, Nottingham, NG16 2FE

This matter had been brought to the Council’s attention in July 2018.  The Committee noted that six velux windows had been inserted into the roof within the rear of the property in contravention of the outline planning permission that had been granted in 2016 under reference 16/00532/OUT and the reserved matters application that was approved for the construction of a detached bungalow on 1 June 2017 under reference 17/00245/REM.   It was further noted that, as the development was in the Green Belt, the grant of outline permission was based on very special circumstances.

There were a number of late items for the Committee to consider. 

The Committee considered a number of options, including the possibility of enforcement action.  There was concern that without a planning application to regularise the development, the conditions placed upon it would not apply. 

          RESOLVED that no enforcement action be taken for a period of two months to allow for the submission of an amended planning application and if no application is forthcoming a further report be brought to Committee to enable the appropriate action to be taken.

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.

The Committee noted that the position remained unchanged from that reported to it on 22 March 2017 and that the Council was not therefore at risk of special measures based on the figures reported to it on that date.

The Committee noted the decisions determined under delegated powers between 22 September and 19 October 2018. 

Thanks were given to Planners for their work on the application at the Boots site.
