Outline planning application with all matters reserved to construct up to 110 dwellings with access from Lynncroft

Former site of Lynncroft Primary School, Garden Road, Eastwood NG16 3FZ

The application was brought before Committee because it was a major development.

There were a number of late items considered by the Committee including emails opposing the application because of flooding and comments from the Parks and Green Spaces Manager regarding the use of management companies to maintain the green spaces for the proposed development.

Neil Gamble, on behalf of the applicant, addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.

The Committee debated the proposal, specifically the promise that all homes on the would have off street parking, which some did not, the problems with flooding in the area and the access to the site.  It was also noted that this development should be seen as an opportunity to have all homes on Garden Road connected to the mains water.

The Committee went on to discuss the high volume of traffic that would be caused to go along Lynncroft.  This was a concern as the road was heavily double parked.

This application was called before Committee by Councillor M Handley.

The Committee considered the late item comprised of an email regarding flooding.

Keith Baker, objecting and Clive Bennetts, objecting, addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.

The Committee gave consideration to all representations and the debate that followed focused on the increase in the existing planning permission for 15 dwelling to 22 in the proposal being too much for the site.  There was also concern regarding the impact on neighbour amenity on Baldwin Street as these properties were bungalows.

The debate progressed to the concerns raised by the highway authority regarding the roads on the development not be of a standard to be adopted.  There was a discussion about the safety of pedestrians, the installation and maintenance of street lighting and the issues with management companies.  There were also concerns about the layout of the proposed development.

RESOLVED, unanimously, 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.

Refusal wording

The proposal constitutes an over intensive development of the site and by virtue of the close proximity and single storey nature of the dwellings located on Baldwin Street, the proposal would lead to overbearing, overshadowing and overlooking issues upon the immediate neighbouring properties located on Baldwin Street, to the detriment of their residential amenity. Furthermore, due to the internal roads being private, the proposed development would have a detrimental impact upon the residential amenity of future occupiers of the proposed dwelling through future maintenance of the roads.

Reasons

Accordingly, the proposal is contrary to the aims of Policy 10 of the Broxtowe Aligned Core Strategy (2014) and Policy 17 of the Part 2 Local Plan (2019), and there are no other material considerations that justify treating this proposal as an exception to these policies.
