This application was brought before the Committee because of the scale of the proposed development of 310 dwellings.

 

There were a number of late items for consideration by the Committee including two further objections from neighbours, one observation, one letter of support, one email seeking assurance that environmental issues would be conditioned, no objections from the Highway Authority, comments from the Environment Business and Projects Manager and amendments to conditions.

 

Mr Robert Galij, the applicant and Mrs Hamilton, on behalf of Mr Steve Collier, objecting, made representation to the Committee prior to the general debate.

 

It was noted that there had not been significant local objection to the development, although there were understandable concerns from residents in the immediate vicinity of the proposals.  It was also noted that the play area and community facility were well placed to serve the new housing and discourage children from playing on the weir fields.  The Committee was also pleased to note that much needed housing was to be provided.

 

The Committee RESOLVED that:

 

i)        The deed of variation to the s106 Agreement be agreed and

 

ii)       Reserved matters be approved subject to the following conditions:

 

1.     The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with drawing numbers BBP/02 Location Plan received by the Local Planning Authority on 7 May 2019; P101 Rev L Planning Layout, 325 Pumping station, 106 Rev E Materials Layout, CB1 Rev A Beeston Community Building; GL1092 08A, 09A, 10A, 11A and 12A Soft Landscape Proposals; GL1092 04A, 05A and 06A Infrastructure Landscape Proposals; GL1092 07C Super LEAP Proposals; amended 01 Rev NM04 Alnmouth Classic (Det) (received 10 May 2019); 02 Ambersham Maldon Elevations; 01 Ambersham Maldon Floor Plans; 01 Ambersham Maldon 4 storey Elevations; 02 and 03 Ambersham Maldon 4 storey Floor Plans; 2016/BH/P/02 Rev NM06 Brentford Haversham Hipped Corner Turner Elevations; 2016/BH/P/01 Rev NM06 Brentford Haversham Hipped Corner Turner Floor Plans; 01 Rev D Derwent Classic (Det); 2016/FIR-DET/C/01 Rev NM11 Fircroft (Det); 2016/FIR/C/01 Rev NM10 Fircroft Elevations; 2016/FIR/C/01 Rev NM10 Fircroft Floor Plans; 01 Haversham (End); 01 Rev B Hesketh Classic (Det); 01 Rev D Kenley Classic (End); 01 Rev D Kenley Classic (Mid); 01 Rev D Kingsley Classic (Det); 01 Rev E Kingsville (End); 01 Lutterworth – End; 01 Rev D Maidstone Classic (End); 01 Rev D Maidstone Classic (Mid); 01 Rev D Moresby Classic (Det); 01 Rev C Moresby Classic (End); 01 Rev E Ripon Classic (Det); 01 Rev D Windermere Classic (Det); 2010/DET/206A 1800mm high close boarded fence; 2010/DET/228 1800mm high timber hit and miss fence; 2010/DET/2029 1200mm vertical metal railings; NM-SD13-004 Boundary Wall – Type 1; NM-SD13-004A Boundary Wall – Type 1 – 2.4m;  ...  view the full minutes text for item 7.1

Councillor E Kerry had requested that the application be determined by the Committee.

 

There were no late items to consider with regards to the application. 

 

Mr Allan Harding, the applicant, Mr Michael Hutchinson, objecting, Mrs Janice Lawrance, objecting and Councillor E Kerry, Ward member, made representation to the Committee prior to the general debate.

 

During the debate the Committee discussed the already difficult parking situation in Attenborough, concerns about safety during a flood event, concerns about fire safety and over intensive development.  It was also noted that the proposed development was close to a busy corner, with a village hall, garage and public house.  The Committee agreed that the property required renovation and that it had the potential to become an eyesore if it continued disused. 

 

It was proposed by Councillor L A Ball BEM and seconded by Councillor M Handley that the item be deferred to allow for the developer to consider a less intensive proposal.  On being put to the meeting the motion was carried.

 

RESOLVED that the application be deferred.

 

Reason

 

To allow the developer to give further consideration to the intensity of the development.

Minutes:

Construct single/two storey rear extension and change of

use from dwelling house (Class C3) to an 8 bedroom house

in multiple occupancy

44 Fletcher Road, Beeston, Nottinghamshire, NG9 2EL

 

This item had been put forward for consideration by the Committee by Councillor P Lally.

 

There were no late items for the Committee to consider alongside this application.

 

Mr Joseph Gallagher, objecting and Councillor L A Lally, Ward Member, made representation to the Committee prior to the general debate.

 

The Committee was concerned that this represented overdevelopment, to have a house in multiple occupation (HMO) for eight people in a family home.  There was also concern that the garage could be converted into an additional bedroom under permitted development rights.  Debate focused on the increasing number of HMOs and the limitations of the Committee in terms of refusing them.  It was noted that a report was to be submitted to the Jobs and Economy Committee to consider this matter comprehensively. 

 

It was proposed by Councillor B C Carr and seconded by Councillor L A Ball BEM that the application be deferred to a future Committee to allow time for the Jobs and Economy committee to consider the issue of HMOs.

 

RESOLVED that the application be deferred.

 

Reason

 

To allow for the consideration of the issue of HMOs at the Jobs and Economy Committee.

Retrospective planning application to demolish the existing

property

The Dovecote Bar and Grill, 29 Beauvale, Newthorpe,

Nottinghamshire, NG16 2EZ

 

Due to the degree of local concern the Head of Neighbourhoods and Prosperity had requested that this planning application be brought before the Committee.

 

There were no late items and no public speakers for the application.

 

It was noted that many local residents wanted the public house to be rebuilt and discussion progressed to the way in which retrospective planning applications impacted negatively upon how neighbours felt about the developments happening in their area.  The Committee noted that it hoped the developers in this instance would act more responsibly.

 

RESOLVED that planning permission be granted subject to the following conditions:

 

1.  The development hereby permitted shall be retained in accordance with drawing number Site Location Plan 1: 1250 received by the Local Planning Authority on 11 January 2019.

 

2.  Within 1 month from the date of this permission, all debris from the demolition of the public house shall be removed from the site and details of fencing to secure the site and a timetable for installation shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The fencing shall be installed in accordance with the approved details.

 

Reasons

 

1.  For the avoidance of doubt.

 

2.  To ensure the site presents a more pleasant appearance in the locality.

 

Note to applicant

 

1.  The Council has acted positively and proactively in the determination of this application by communicating with the agent throughout the course of the application.

 

2.         The applicant is hereby advised that the existing public right of way to the west of the site should remain open, unobstructed and be kept on its legal alignment at all times. Vehicles should not be parked on the Right of Way or materials unloaded or stored so as to obstruct the path.
