Outline permission with some matters reserved for detached bungalow

48 Rivergreen Crescent, Bramcote Nottinghamshire, NG9 3ET 

The application is brought to the Committee at request of Councillor D K Watts.

There were a number of late items including an informal indication that the Flood Team would object to the application and the subsequent addition of a condition to require a Flood Risk Assessment prior to any development.

Ruth Farnsworth, the applicant and Sonia Malik, objecting, made representation to the Committee prior to the general debate.

Having given due regard to the evidence before it, the Committee debated the item with particular reference concerns about flooding, which regularly occurred on the road, and impact of the driveway which was proposed to travel the length of the garden of the neighbouring property.  It was noted that the design of the proposed development was unsatisfactory, including the size and positioning of the bungalow. There were also concerns that the proposed development was out of character with the area. 

RESOLVED that planning permission be refused due to the impact on neighbour amenity of the driveway, the negative impact of the design on the character of the area and flooding, with the precise wording of the refusal delegated to the Chair of Planning Committee in agreement with the Head of Planning and Economic Development and the Planning Manager.

Reasons

1.      The development by virtue of the location of the proposed driveway for the intended house result in a detrimental impact on the amenity of the neighbouring property due to its location immediately adjacent to the boundary.  Consequently, the development would be contrary to Policy 10 of the Broxtowe Aligned Core Strategy 2014, and Policy 17 of the Part 2 Local Plan 2018.

2.      The proposal by virtue of the location of the development to the rear of the existing development line is considered to provide an unacceptable pattern of development and create a second tier of development. Consequently, the development would be contrary to Policy 10 of the Broxtowe Aligned Core Strategy 2014, and Policy 17 of the Part 2 Local Plan 2018.

3.      The proposal through the lack of information on flood risk fails to provide confirmation that a property can be built in this location without causing any substantial harm to the future occupiers of the site from flooding. Consequently, the development would be contrary to Policy 1 of the Part 2 Local Plan 2018.

William Fardoe, the applicant, made representation to the Committee prior to the general debate.

The Committee considered all the evidence before it and debated the application.  It was noted that the proposed development would not impact on the openness or the amenity of the green belt and that it represented an improvement to the design of the roof.
