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

•         that there was an unacceptable loss of neighbour amenity.

•         that the application was overbearing and over intensive for the area.

RESOLVED that planning permission be refused for the following reasons:

Reasons

1.   The proposed development, by virtue of its size, siting within the rear garden and its proximity to the adjacent boundaries, would have an overbearing impact on the occupiers of properties on Perkins Way and on the occupiers of 176 Bye Pass Road. The development would result in a poor standard of accommodation for the existing occupiers of flat 2, by virtue of the re-located windows which would result in a poor outlook and loss of privacy and would result in the loss of private outdoor amenity space to the detriment of the occupiers of the flats. The development would therefore be contrary to the aims of Policy 10 of the Aligned Core Strategy (2014) and Policy 17 of the Broxtowe Part 2 Local Plan (2019).

2. The proposal is considered to be an over-intensive form of development which would be out of character with the established pattern and density of development in the surrounding area. The development would therefore be contrary to the aims of Policy 10 of the Aligned Core Strategy (2014) and Policy 17 of the Broxtowe Part 2 Local Plan (2019).

3. The site is located in Flood Zones 2 and 3 and insufficient information has been submitted to demonstrate that flood risk matters have been adequately considered. Accordingly, the proposal is contrary to the aims of Policies 1 and 10 of the Aligned Core Strategy (2014), Policies 1 and 17 of the Broxtowe Part 2 Local Plan (2019) and the National Planning Policy Framework.

Notes to applicant

1. Whilst it has not been possible to achieve a positive outcome, due to the fundamental concerns regarding the development, the Council has acted positively and proactively in the determination of this application and a decision was issued within the agreed determination period.
