Councillor S Dannheimer requested that this proposal come before Committee.

The Committee noted the late items, including the large number of complaints from residents regarding the design, scale, massing, amenity and flood risk that they considered would result from the proposed development.

Jean Chaplin, the applicant, Nikki Hallam, opposing and Councillor S Dannheimer, Ward Member, made representation to the Committee prior to the general debate.

The Committee considered all of the evidence before it and then commenced the debate, with specific reference to the size of the application, the lack of section 106 contributions, the impact of the balconies on privacy for existing residents and the substantial harm to the local environment.  There followed a discussion about flooding and parking.  There was concern that the development would be over intense for the area and that it would impact negatively on local services.

The size and massing of the proposed development was considered out of keeping with South Road and Canalside, with the style of the building unsympathetic in it’s juxtaposition with the Canalside Heritage Centre.  It was considered that the site was important to the visual appeal of Beeston Rylands and that there were more appropriate forms of residential development that could enhance the locality. It was also noted that there was a lack of biodiversity net gain proposed on the site.

RESOLVED that planning permission be refused.

RESOLVED that the precise wording of the refusal and reasons, to include design massing, substantial harm, impact on amenity and intensification, be delegated to the Chair of Planning Committee in agreement with the Head of Planning and Economic Development.

Reasons:

1.          The development, by virtue of the scale and massing, overbearing nature, and potential for overlooking of properties on Riverside Close, would result in a detrimental impact to neighbour amenity contrary to Policy 17 of the Broxtowe Part 2 Local Plan (2019) and Policy 10 of the Aligned Core Strategy (2014).

2.          The development, by virtue of its design, scale and massing, would result in a building that would be out of character with the surroundings and would result in harm to the nearby non-designated heritage assets contrary to Policies 17 and 23 of the Broxtowe Part 2 Local Plan (2019) and Policies 10 and 11 of the Aligned Core Strategy (2014).

3.          The development, by virtue of its layout and level of parking provision, would result in a detrimental impact to the surrounding area and to highway safety contrary to Policy 17 of the Broxtowe Part 2 Local Plan (2019) and Policy 10 of the Aligned Core Strategy (2014).
