Install external wall insulation to the front, side and rear of 68-82 Princes Street

68-82 Princes Street, Eastwood, Nottinghamshire

The application was brought to the Committee because it was application submitted by the Council.

There were no late items.

Stephen Grimes, on behalf of the applicant, made representation to the Committee prior to the general debate.

The Committee considered the application with reference to all of the representations before it.  The debate centred on the tension between preserving the street scene and historic look of the area and the amenity of residents.  There was concern regarding reports of severe damp and mould in some of the houses and the general disrepair of the brickwork was noted.  Although there was concern about the impact the cladding would have on an historic asset, it was further noted that the cladding that has been chosen was a good match for the brickwork and preserving the detailing around the windows provided a compromise which would preserve some of the Victorian look of the houses.

RESOLVED that planning permission be granted.

RESOLVED that the precise wording of the approval and conditions, including specifics on time, plans and materials be delegated to the Chair of Planning Committee in agreement with the Head of Planning and Economic Development.

The results of which must be submitted in writing to the Planning Authority.

Construct Juliet balcony to rear and insertion of roof lights and wall and gates to front

70 Beeston Fields Drive, Bramcote, Nottinghamshire, NG9 3TD

This application was brought to Committee at the request of the Head of Planning and Economic Development.

There were no late items.

Aimee Labbate, on behalf of the applicant and Susan Price, objecting, made representation to the Committee prior to the general debate.

Having given due regard to the representations before it, the Committee considered the application.  It was noted that permission had been granted for a window in the position that the Juliet balcony was proposed.  It was noted that the Juliet balcony would overlook neighbouring properties and, that although these properties were some distance away, the size of the house meant that the proposed balcony would have more impact on amenity.  There was a discussion regarding the removal of hedges and their replacement with new planting.

RESOLVED that planning permission be refused.

RESOLVED that the precise wording of the refusal, including references to overbearing impact, overlooking from windows, the size of the property and impact on neighbour amenity at the rear, be delegated to the Chair of Planning Committee in agreement with the Head of Planning and Economic Development.

Reason

The juliet balcony and associated large windows, by virtue of the overlooking issues created, would cause a detrimental impact on the amenity of the properties on Troutbeck Crescent. The development is therefore contrary to policies 10 of the Aligned Core Strategy (2014) and Policy 17 of the Part 2 Local Plan (2019).
