Minutes:

Construct ground floor side / rear extension

97 Lynncroft, Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, NG16 3ER

 

This item was deferred at the meeting of 4 October 2023.

 

The late items were noted and comprised of a plan demonstrating the difficulty in providing parking to the rear of the property. 

 

There were no public speakers. 

 

Having considered all of the information before it, the Committee debated the application.  It was stated that there would be a number of benefits to the renovation of the property, but that the intensity of the development would impact negatively on neighbour amenity, in particular car parking.  There was a discussion about the possibility of listing the building, though it was noted that the initial attempt had been rejected and the subsequent appeal was yet to be determined.

 

          RESOLVED that planning permission be refused with the reasons to include the intensification of use exacerbating existing car parking issues.

 

RESOLVED that the precise wording of the refusal be delegated to the Chair of the Planning Committee in agreement with the Head of Planning and Economic Development.

 

Reasons

 

The development, by virtue of the potential level of occupation and, as a result, increased demand for on-street parking, would have a detrimental impact on highway safety contrary to Policy 17 of the Part 2 Local Plan (2019) Policy 10 of the Broxtowe Aligned Core Strategy (2014).

Having given due regard to the evidence before it, the Committee considered the application with the debate focussing on the size of the site, access and the size of the bungalow.  It was considered that, should an extension be made to the bungalow, this would make the development over intensive.

 

It was proposed by Councillor R Bullock and seconded by Councillor R Falvey, that should the development be approved, permitted development rights be removed.  On being put to the meeting the motion was carried.

 

            RESOLVED that should the development be approved, permitted development rights be removed.

 

RESOLVED that planning permission be granted with the conditions of the approval to include plans, materials, a construction management plan and the removal of permitted development rights.

 

RESOLVED that the precise wording of the approval and conditions be delegated to the Chair of Planning Committee in agreement with the Head of Planning and Economic Development.

Reason: To ensure a satisfactory standard of external appearance and in accordance with the aims of Policy 17 of the Broxtowe Part 2 Local Plan (2019) and Policy 10 of the Aligned Core Strategy (2014).

 

4.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Schedule 2 Part 1 Classes A, D, E and F of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (or any Order revoking or re-enacting that Order with or without modification), no development of a type identified in the aforementioned classes shall take place within the curtilage of the property without planning permission being granted on application to the Planning Authority.

Construct detached bungalow

Land at 196 Cator Lane, Chilwell, Nottinghamshire, NG9 4BE

Minutes:

Construct detached bungalow

Land at 196 Cator Lane, Chilwell, Nottinghamshire, NG9 4BE

 

Councillor M Radulovic MBE had requested that this application be determined by the Committee.

 

There were no late items to consider and no public speakers.

 

The Committee considered the application and all matters pertaining to it, including the size of the bungalow in relation to the plot, the intensity of proposed development and the character of the area.  It was stated that the bungalow would be well below recommended space standards, with very little space around it on the plot.

 

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

 

1.

The proposal by virtue of its scale and massing and the small site of the plot is considered to be contrary to the local vernacular and settlement pattern and also constitutes overdevelopment of the site. Consequently, the development would be contrary to Policies 8 and 10 of the Broxtowe Aligned Core Strategy 2014, and Policies 15 and 17 of the Part 2 Local Plan 2018.

 

The proposal by virtue of its limited amenity space and reduced amenity space to 196 Cator Lane would adversely affect the living conditions of the occupiers of no 196 Cator Lane in terms of outlook, and the living conditions of the future occupiers of the proposed bungalow with regard to adverse impact on the proposed bungalow and the existing house. 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.

 

The proposal will have an unacceptable impact on the amenity of the proposed occupiers of the building from neighbouring properties by virtue of the distance to boundaries of the neighbouring properties windows creating an overlooking issue onto the amenity spaces of the proposed property. 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.

 

 

 

NOTES TO APPLICANT

The Council has tried to act positively and proactively in the determination of this application, however it was not considered that there were any alterations which could be made to the scheme to make the proposal acceptable.

 

(Having declared a non - registrable, personal interest in the item, as he was acquainted with the developer, Councillor Bullock left the meeting for the duration of the item and did not vote thereon.)
