Mrs L Harrison (objecting) and Councillor P Lally (ward member) addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.

Members debated the application and the following comments were amongst those noted:

·       The proposal was over intensive for the surrounding area which would be out of keeping with the residential character of the area.

·       Further parking issues that would arise from the increased number of residents.

·       There was a decline in housing mixture.

·       There would be a loss of neighbour amenity.

          RESOLVED that the application be refused.

Reason

The proposed development would be over-intensive with insufficient parking and the extension would not appear subservient to the existing building.  A significant loss of neighbour amenity would result from the proposal. Accordingly, the proposal would be contrary to Policies H4, H7 and T11 of the Broxtowe Local Plan (2004), Policy 10 of the Aligned Core Strategy (2014) and Policy 17 of the Draft Part 2 Local Plan (2018).
