(i)    prior completion of an agreement under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to secure the provision of landscape contributions and affordable units

This application had been called before Committee by Councillor S J Carr.

There were no late items for this application.

Jacob Brown, the applicant and Anthony Simpson, objecting, addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.

The Committee considered all matters pertaining to the application and it was considered that the proposed development was too big, that it represented overcrowding, that it was not close to public transport links and that parking was a major issue in that part of Beeston.

The design of the proposed development was complimented, but it was considered to be out of keeping with the surrounding area, which had a definite style.

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 is of contemporary design which is out of character with the surrounding area which constitutes traditional design. Furthermore, no parking has been provided on site which would result in parking problems in the immediate area.  Accordingly, the proposal is contrary to the aims of Policy 17 of the Part 2 Local Plan (2019), Policy 10 of the Broxtowe Aligned Core Strategy (2014) and the NPPF (2021).

In considering the application, the Committee noted that Victorian terraced streets always presented problems with parking, however, the proposed development sought to improve that situation by providing four off-street parking spaces.

Change of use of land to car/van sales (sui generis), siting of storage containers (not exceeding 70 units) (B8), change of use of land to open storage, change of use of buildings to car repairs and tyre sales, erection of 2 metre high security fencing, extension to existing single storey building and new storage/car repair building (revised scheme)

Neil Turner, applicant and Peter Johnson, objecting addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.

The Committee considered the application and noted that the proposed scheme updated the property to make it suitable for a family without having an impact on the openness or amenity of the Green Belt.

Retention of Marquee

Councillor M Radulovic MBE requested that this application be considered by Committee.

There were four late items that were noted by the Committee comprised of three letters of support and a submission from a sound engineer commissioned by the applicant.

Cain Oliver, applicant and Mr Ward, objecting, made representation to the Committee prior to the general debate.

The Committee noted a letter from a neighbour to the proposed development and all of the other representations that were made.  There was debate about the marquee blocking access to other businesses, concern about noise from neighbours, the loss of car parking, the provision of 15 jobs at the establishment, and there was a call for compromise.  It was considered that the application for the marquee to be used Monday to Saturday between the hours of 10am and 2:30am was unreasonable because of the impact that the noise would have on neighbours. 

It was proposed by Councillor D K Watts and seconded by Councillor J W McGrath that a temporary permission be granted for a period of twelve months until 11pm, for 32 days in that period, with the precise wording of the approval and conditions to be delegated to the Chair of Planning Committee in agreement with the Head of Planning and Economic Development.  On being put to the meeting the motion passed.

RESOLVED that planning permission be granted for a period of twelve months until 11pm, for 32 days in that period, with the precise wording of the approval and conditions to be delegated to the Chair of Planning Committee in agreement with the Head of Planning and Economic Development.

The development be carried out in accordance with the application, subject to compliance with the Conditions imposed, and the subsequent approval of all matters referred to in the conditions, for the reasons set out below.

Conditions:

1.         This permission shall be for a limited period of one year expiring on the 10.12.22 when the building works carried out under this permission shall be removed and the land reinstated to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority unless prior permission has been obtained in writing from the Local Planning Authority for its retention.

2.         The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with drawings numbered TO/GKO/16/036/05 received on 12 August 2021

3.         The use of the marquee shall be limited to a maximum of 32 sessions per annum. Such sessions shall only take place between 12.00 noon - 23.00 hours on any given day.

Reasons:

1.         To protect immediate residents from excessive operational noise, in accordance with Policy 10 of the Broxtowe Aligned Core Strategy (2014) and Policy 19 of the Broxtowe Part 2 Local Plan (2019).

2.         For the avoidance of doubt

3.         To protect immediate residents from excessive operational noise, in accordance with Policy 10 of the Broxtowe Aligned Core Strategy (2014) and Policy 19 of the Broxtowe Part 2 Local Plan (2019).
