Application Number 20/00891/FUL Conversion of existing college building to student accommodation comprising 162 bedrooms including external alterations Central College Nottingham, High Road, Chilwell, Nottinghamshire, NG9 4AH Minutes: Conversion of existing college building to student accommodation comprising 162 bedrooms including external alterations Central College Nottingham, High Road, Chilwell, Nottinghamshire, NG9 4AH
This application was brought before the Committee because of the size and scale of the proposed development.
The Committee considered the large number of late items comprised of objections to the proposed development.
Mrs Patricia Greaves (objecting) and Mrs Judith Sleath (objecting) addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.
Members debated the application with particular reference to the derelict state of the site, the inadequacy of the proposed section 106 contributions, the times that work was permitted on site and the shortage of family homes in the area.
The debate progressed on to the number of car parking spaces proposed for the development, which was 15. It was noted that although the site was being promoted as car free this was not possible to enforce. There was also concern about the potential access to the site from surrounding residential streets.
It was proposed by Councillor M Radulovic MBE and seconded by Councillor G Marshall that the item be deferred to allow the developer to discuss the provision of additional car parking spaces, that access to the site be exclusively from High Road for this and future phases and the hours of work for the site.
RESOLVED that the application be deferred. |

Application Number 21/00049/FUL Construct 5 dwellings including demolition of kennels, access and landscaping Babbington Hall, Westby Lane, Babbington, NG16 2SS Minutes: Construct 5 dwellings including demolition of kennels, access and landscaping Babbington Hall, Westby Lane, Babbington, NG16 2SS
Councillor M J Crow had requested that this application be considered by the Committee.
There were two late items comprised of letters from the agent on behalf of the applicant, which were considered by the Committee.
Mr Tony Sanderson (applicant), Councillor M J Crow (Ward Member) and Councillor S Easom (Ward Member) addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.
The Committee noted the good work that the charity operating from this site had done of many years.
Debate progressed on to concerns that the proposal constituted a small scale suburban development out of keeping with the rural character of the hamlet of Babbington. It was considered that the keeping of animals, including dogs represented activity that was acceptable in the Green Belt, whereas the proposed development was not. There was also concern about the size and scale of the development, as the two storey houses would impact on the openness and amenity of the Green Belt more adversely than the existing one storey structures.
RESOLVED that planning permission be refused, with the precise wording of the refusal to be delegated to the Chair of Planning Committee in agreement with the Head of Planning and Economic Development.
Reasons
The proposal, to construct 5 two storey dwellings on site, would create a development that is out of keeping in both scale and design with the character of the locality of Babbington, and would create significant harm upon the character and openness of the Green Belt. Accordingly, the development is contrary to the aims of Policy 10 of the Broxtowe Aligned Core Strategy (2014) and Policy 8 of the Part 2 Local Plan (2019) and Section 13 - Protecting Green Belt Land of the National Planning Policy Framework 2018 and there are no other material considerations that justify treating this proposal as an exception to these policies.
NOTE TO APPLICANT
The Council has tried to act positively and proactively in the determination of this application, however it was not considered that there were any minor alterations which could be made to the scheme to make the proposal acceptable. |

This application was called before Committee by Councillor J C Patrick.
The late items were comprised of two letters of objection from residents and were noted by the Committee.
Mr Tom Baker (applicant), Mr Richard Hill (objecting) and Councillor J C Patrick (Ward Member) addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.
Consideration was given to the size of the plot, the design of the proposed house and the variety of architectural styles on this street. It was noted that the conservation area was in place to ensure proposed development was of a high quality, not to prevent development.
The Committee received legal advice.

Councillor J C Patrick had requested that this item be determined by Committee.
The Committee noted that there were four late items including a change to condition, an email from a resident objecting, a correction to paragraphs in the report and an amendment to the proposed boundary treatment.
Mrs Karen Whitehead (applicant) and Councillor J C Patrick (Ward Member) addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.
The Committee debated the application and were generally supportive of the proposed development. There were concerns that the glass on the bar terrace should be opaque though, after consideration, it was agreed that the privacy of residents on Barrydale Avenue would not be adversely affected by this glass being clear.
It was proposed by Councillor D Grindell and seconded by Councillor T Hallam that a named liaison for residents be required, as a note to applicant, the start time of hours of working on site be amended to 08:00 and the fence height on the Barrydale Avenue boundary should be increased to 2.5 metres above ground level. On being put to the Committee the amendment was carried.

Mr Warren Sanderson (objecting) addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.
There was general support for the proposed development, but consideration was given to concerns regarding drainage on the site and the possibility of a noise disturbance to neighbours.
It was proposed by Councillor P J Owen and seconded by Councillor M Radulovic MBE that the application be deferred to allow the school to consider situating the proposed development away from neighbouring properties beside the road and to clarify drainage. On being put to the meeting the motion was carried.
RESOLVED that the application be deferred.
