Conversion of part of existing college to residential accommodation to provide 65 apartments.  Construction of a 2/3 storey apartment building to provide 15 apartments.  Construction of 6 semi-detached houses and one dormer bungalow.

Central College Nottingham, High Road, Chilwell, Nottinghamshire, NG9 4AH

 

This item was brought before Committee because it was a major application.

 

The Committee noted the late items comprised of two comments from local residents.

 

A statement was read on behalf of the applicant and Tony Greaves, objecting, addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.

 

There were concerns over the access on Dale Lane, highways issues, impact on the tram, the loss of trees, the impact on noise and neighbour amenity and the style and scale of the proposed development.

 

As debate progressed the Committee noted that this was a good use of a brownfield site, that the dormant site had been at the centre of anti-social behaviour and that in its current state the College was an eyesore.  It was requested that condition 6 include specific intructions regarding landscaping with mature trees and the blocking up of the Dale Lane entrance to the site.

 

It was noted that the Chair would write to the Secretary of State for Levelling up, Housing and Communities regarding the frustration felt by Committee members at a planning system that appeared to favour developers.

 

It was requested by Councillor G Marshall and seconded by Councillor S J Carr that the vote be recorded.  The votes were cast as follows:

                RESOLVED that planning permission be granted subject to the following conditions:

 

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.
