Site of The Magpie, Toton Lane, Stapleford NG9 7JD

The application had been deferred by the Committee on 10 November 2020 to allow the developer to address concerns regarding the number of car parking spaces. 

The Committee considered the late item which was an additional condition in response to comments received from the Highways Authority, making a Travel Plan a requirement as the site was to provide employment for more than 20 staff.    

There were no public speakers in respect of the application.

The Committee considered the addition of ten parking spaces to the proposed development and it was noted that should there be any deviation from the application as approved, enforcement proceedings could be brought.

232 Queens Road, Beeston, Nottingham, NG9 2BN

Councillors P Lally and L A Lally had requested that this application be determined by the Committee.

There were no late items pertaining to the application.

Ms Lucie Harrison (objecting) and Councillor P Lally (ward member) made representations to the Committee prior to the general debate.

During the debate the Inspector’s report on the previous application was considered, as was the impact on neighbour amenity, overcrowding, design and the impact on already busy streets for emergency access to Dagmar Road.

  RESOLVED that planning permission be refused, with the precise wording of the refusal to be delegated Head of Planning and Economic Development in consultation with the Chair of the Planning Committee. 

Reason

The proposed development by virtue of its excessive scale and massing on a prominent corner plot location would create a significant social and environmental impact on the character and appearance of the area.  Accordingly, the proposal would be contrary to Policy 17 of the Part 2 Local Plan (2019), Policy 10 of the Broxtowe Aligned Core Strategy (2014) and the National Planning Policy Framework (2019).

This application had been called before Committee as it proposed inappropriate development in the Green Belt.

There were no late items in respect of the application and no public speakers.

The Committee debated the application with particular reference to the temporary nature of the permission and the opportunities the development would give to children with disabilities and their families to partake in outdoor activities.  The debate progressed on to the concern that the proposed polytunnels could be an eyesore, in particular spoiling the iconic view from Hemmingway Close up to the Church and Castle Farm.  Mitigation of the appearance of the polytunnels was discussed.  There was also concern that this could represent development by stealth, though it was noted that any further development would have to come before the Committee.

It was proposed by Councillor D K Watts and seconded by Councillor D Grindell that a condition be added to the planning permission making it clear that the development should only be permitted if it was to be used by a community group.  On being put to the meeting the proposal was passed. 

          RESOLVED that planning permission be granted subject to the following conditions and an additional condition relating to the use of the development being specifically for community groups and the precise wording of the condition to be delegated to the Head of Planning and Economic Development in consultation with the Chair of the Planning Committee.     

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

Reason: To comply with S91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by S51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

2.     The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the Site Location Plan (1:2500), Block Plan (1:500), Floor Plans and Elevations (1:100); received by the Local Planning Authority on 28 August and 1 October 2020.

Reason: For the avoidance of doubt.

3.     The permission for the change of use of the land and siting of buildings hereby approved shall be for a limited period of 5 years, expiring on the 10 December 2025 when the buildings permitted shall be removed and the land reinstated to its former state to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority unless prior permission has first been obtained in writing from the Local Planning Authority.

Reason: The buildings by virtue of their construction and appearance are not suitable for permanent retention and in accordance with Broxtowe Part 2 Local Plan (2019) Policy 17.

4.     The portacabin and storage containers hereby approved shall be dark green in colour, and retained as such for the lifetime of the development.

Reason: To ensure the development is in keeping with the  ...  view the full minutes text for item 43.3

Councillor P J Owen had requested that this application be determined by the Committee.

There were no late items for consideration and no public speakers.

The Committee considered the proposed development with reference to the openness of the Green Belt, the position of the site and the size of the garden, as well as the footprint of the proposed extensions which did not exceed that of the extension that is currently there.

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

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

Reason: To comply with S91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by S51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

2.      The extension shall be constructed using bricks and tiles of a type, texture and colour so as to match those of the existing building.

Reason: For the avoidance of doubt.

3.      The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with drawing(s) numbered Site Location Plan 1: 1250 and Proposed Plans, Elevations and Block Plan 1: 500, GD/BV/19/040/03 received by the Local Planning Authority on 08 October 2020.

Reason: For the avoidance of doubt.

4.      Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (or any Order revoking and re-enacting that Order with or without modification), no further extensions to the dwelling or outbuildings shall be erected within the curtilage of the dwelling without the prior approval of the local planning authority, by way of a formal planning application.

Reason: Further extensions to the dwelling or outbuildings in the garden would be considered disproportionate additions within the Green Belt and would be contrary to Policy 8 of the Part 2 Local Plan (2019).

Note to applicant

1.      The Council has acted positively and proactively in the determination of this application, through an early visit to the site to appreciate whether any amendments needed to be sought and thus afford sufficient time to negotiate these should it have been the case.

2.      The proposed development lies within a coal mining area which may contain unrecorded coal mining related hazards.  If any coal mining feature is encountered during development, this should be reported immediately to the Coal Authority on 0345 762 6848.  Further information is also available on the Coal Authority website at:
