Construct 1.8m high close boarded fencing

Application Number 20/00404/FUL 1 Totland Road Bramcote Nottinghamshire NG9 3ER

31.1       Application number 20/00404/FUL

Construct 1.8m high close boarded fencing

1 Totland Road Bramcote Nottinghamshire NG9 3ER

This application sought planning permission for a 1.8 metre high fence. The dwelling had been recently extended (19/00329/FUL) and a 1.8 metre high fence had been constructed 1 metre into the site without planning permission, parallel with Totland Road and enclosing the garden. It was proposed to move the fence to abut the pavement. 

The application was brought to the Committee with a recommendation that planning permission be refused because the proposed fence would cause risk to pedestrians and road users by reducing visibility for drivers when entering or exiting the driveway. Accordingly, the proposed development would be contrary to the aims of Policy 10 of the Broxtowe Aligned Core Strategy (2014) and Policy 17 of the Part 2 Local Plan (2019). 

Councillors I L Tyler and D K Watts requested that the application be determined by the Planning Committee. The item was deferred from the meeting held on 30 September 2020 and the report remained unchanged.

There were no late items for this item.

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

·       Highway safety

·       Lamppost near fence would prevent a highway impact on cars reversing off the drive.

Members considered the recommendation and being put to the Committee, the original recommendation was voted against. Councillor D K Watts proposed, and was seconded by Councillor J W McGrath, to amend the recommendation to grant planning permission, the reason being the lamppost would mean cars would not reverse near the fence therefore there was no highway safety issue.   On being put to the meeting, the recommendation was granted.

RESOLVED that planning permission be granted with the precise wording of the conditions to be delegated to the Interim Head of Planning and Economic Development in consultation with the Chair of the Planning Committee

Conditions

1.   The development hereby permitted shall be commenced before the expiration of three years beginning with the date of this permission.
