Construct 62 dwellings

Beeston Maltings, Dovecote Lane, Beeston, NG9 1JG

 

The application had been brought before Committee as it was a major application and there were issues in respect of viability.

 

There were a substantial number of late items that the Committee considered, including a letter from the agent, emails from Nottinghamshire County Council regarding education, Section 106 monies, flooding and highways, amended plans, a number of changes to conditions, 28 emails objecting to the development and five further emails from residents. 

 

Ian Jowitt, applicant and Nuala Hampson, objecting, made representation to the Committee prior to the general debate.

 

The Committee noted that following the deferral of the application the density of the site had been reduced and the highways on the site had been redesigned so that they could be adopted. There was a discussion regarding a ransom strip that prevented access from the Hetley Pearson site.  The debate then progressed on to concerns regarding the lack of Section 106 monies for education, the problematic access to the site through Dovecote Lane and the size of the proposed properties. 

 

RESOLVED that planning permission be granted subject to the following conditions and to the prior signing of a Section 106 Agreement.

 

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

Construct link extension and change use from residential (Class C3) to residential care home (Class C2)

259 High Road Chilwell NG9 5DD

 

The application had been called before Committee by Councillor T A Cullen.

 

There was a late item comprised of an email from a resident opposing the proposed development due to concerns regarding parking.

 

Ros Heath, applicant, and Victor Chidlaw, opposing, made representation to the Committee prior to the general debate.

 

Debate centred on whether the parking situation would improve in practice if there were to be more residents as a result of this application.  There was also concern that that passage would create a very long frontage that could be inappropriate in a conservation area.

 

It was proposed by Councillor R I Jacskon and seconded by Councillor T A Cullen that the item be deferred to allow the applicant to elaborate on how many residents there would be in the home once the extension was granted and what impact this might have on parking.  On being put to the meeting the proposal was carried.

 

            RESOLVED that the application be deferred.
