This application was brought before Committee because it was a major application.  A decision on the application was deferred on 5 January 2022 to allow the developer an opportunity to reconsider the distribution of social housing on the site and proposed landscaping.

 

There was a late item pertaining to amendments to conditions 21 and 22.

 

Tom Broster, on behalf of the applicant, addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.

 

It was noted that the Committee’s concerns had been addressed, though there were still some comments regarding the style of the housing.

 

RESOLVED that the Head of Planning and Economic Development be given delegated authority to grant planning permission subject to:

 

(i) the prior completion of an agreement under section 106A of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990

Change of use to 84 bed student accommodation (Class C4 HMO including an additional floor)

Broadgate House, Broadgate, Beeston NG9 2HF

 

The application was brought to the Committee at request of Councillor P Lally and Councillor L A Lally.

 

The Committee gave consideration to the late items comprised of a re-consultation in relation to the amended Proposed Lower Ground Floor Plan No. A-20082-20-001_P2.  It was noted that 17 objections were received.

 

Mrs Fiona Carter, objecting, Councillor L A Lally, Ward Member and Councillor P Lally, Ward Member, addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.

 

The debate focussed on whether the provision of accommodation specifically for students would reduce the pressure on the housing stock in Beeston, in the vicinity of Nottingham University. 

 

There was concern about antisocial behaviour, impact on neighbouring properties, overdevelopment of the site, the impact on the character of the area and the lack of car parking for the proposed development.  The debate progressed, with the Committee considering the positive impact of students on the vibrancy and diversity of Beeston. 

 

To address the concerns of the Committee it was requested that additional conditions be placed on the development to ensure that car parking was specifically for residents, that there was no smoking on fire escapes and a tenancy management agreement.

 

RESOLVED that planning permission be granted subject to the following conditions and with additional conditions relating to fire doors, a tenant agreement and that car parking be for occupant’s only.

 

 

Conditions:

 

1.

The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of 3 years from the date of this permission.

 

2.

Construct two storey with balcony, single storey extensions, extension to existing annex and garden room

Minutes:

Construct two storey with balcony, single storey extensions, extension to existing annex and garden room

Gilt Hill Farm Gilt Hill Kimberley Nottingham NG16 2GZ

 

Councillor S Easom had requested this application be determined by Committee.  As an appeal for non-determination had already been lodged, the Committee was unable to determine the application, but instead gave an indication of the decision that it would have made had it been able to.

 

There were no late items.

 

A statement was read on behalf of Kari Viitanen, the applicant, and Councillor S Easom, Ward Member, addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.

 

The Committee received legal advice.

 

Consideration was given the untidy nature the site and the visual impact on the Green Belt.  Some Members considered the proposal to represent an improvement, however, there was concern that when approaching the Ikea Island, the increased volume of the farm house would have a material impact on the openness and amenity of the Green Belt. 

 

It was requested that a reason be provided to Councillor P Owen in writing regarding the non-determination of the application.

 

Councillor S Easom exercised his right to sum up after the debate.

 

RESOLVED that the Committee agreed with the recommendation of the Officer’s report so that accurate representations can be made to the Planning Inspectorate in the anticipated appeal of this matter.

 

1.

The proposal constitutes inappropriate development within the Green Belt as the proposed extensions, in conjunction with the existing extension, represent a disproportionate addition to the size of the original building. There are insufficient very special circumstances demonstrated to clearly outweigh the harm resulting from the inappropriateness of the proposed development and the significant harm upon openness. Accordingly, the proposal is contrary to Policy 8 of the Part 2 Local Plan (2019) and Section 13: Protecting Green Belt Land of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) 2021 and there are no other material considerations that justify treating this proposal as an exception.

 

 

NOTES TO APPLICANT

 

1.

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.

Councillor D K Watts requested that this application be determined by Planning

Committee.

 

There were no late items.

 

Mark Knowles, objecting, addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.

 

It was noted that this application had been refused at the meeting of the Committee on 2 June 2021 and that no material changes to the proposed development had been made. 

 

RESOLVED, unanimously, that planning permission be refused for the reasons given at the meeting of 2 June 2021.

 

Reason

 

Due to the loss of neighbour amenity and size of the development.

 

(Councillor D K Watts having declared a personal and prejudicial interest in this item, left the Council Chamber prior to the debate.  Councillor J W McGrath was Vice Chair in the Chair for the duration of the item.)

Construction of two storey and first floor rear extension

12 Rochester Court, Nuthall, Nottinghamshire, NG6 8WL

 

The application had been called before Committee by Councillor P J Owen.

 

There were no late items to be considered by the Committee.

 

Mrs Sheppards, objecting, addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.   

 

There was concern regarding the scale of the proposed development and that it was an overintensification of the site.  It was proposed by Councillor P J Owen and seconded that by Councillor D K Watts that the application be deferred to allow the applicant an opportunity to consider reducing the size and scale of the development so as not to negatively impact on neighbour amenity.

 

            RESOLVED that the application be deferred.

 

Reason

 

To allow the applicant an opportunity to consider reducing the size and scale of the proposed development so as not to negatively impact on neighbour amenity.

Minutes:

Retain raised patio and fencing and erect canopy

48 Wadsworth Road, Stapleford, Nottinghamshire, NG9 8BD

 

Councillor T Hallam requested that this application be considered by Committee. 

 

There were no late items and no public speakers.

 

It was noted that there was a disparity in ground levels between number 48 and the neighbouring property. This had meant that the fence, when erected, had an unacceptable impact on the light and amenity of the neighbour, particularly on their conservatory. 

 

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

 

Reason

 

The development as constructed would have an unacceptable impact on the amenity of the occupiers of 50 Wadsworth Road in terms of loss of light and by virtue of its overbearing nature, contrary to Policy 17 of the Broxtowe Part 2 Local Plan (2019) and Policy 10 of the Aligned Core Strategy (2014).

 

It was proposed by D K Watts and seconded by J W McGrath that enforcement action be taken if no appeal was lodged or no revised scheme was proposed.  On being put to the meeting the motion was passed.

 

RESOLVED that enforcement action be taken if no appeal was lodged or no revised scheme was proposed.
