The application was brought to Committee at the request of Councillor V C Smith.

 

There was one late item, which was an email highlighting concerns and objections.

 

Rae Murphy, the applicant and Dave Gilkerson, commenting, made representation to the Committee prior to the general debate.

 

The Committee debated the item, having given regard to the representations before it.  There were concerns about the size of the proposed development and the impact it would have on car parking and flooding in the area.  Consideration was also given to the approach of the developer and the high quality of the proposed development, which was considered to be an improvement on the current state of the property.

 

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.

 

2.

Reason: For the avoidance of doubt.

 

3.

The extensions and dormer shall be constructed using materials as annotated on the approved plans unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

 

Reason: To ensure a satisfactory standard of external appearance and in accordance with the aims of Policy 10 of Broxtowe Aligned Core Strategy (2014) and Policy 17 of Part 2 Local Plan (2019).

 

 

NOTES TO APPLICANT

 

1.

The Council has acted positively and proactively in the determination of this application by working to determine it within the agreed determination timescale.

 

2.

The proposed development lies within an area that has been defined by the Coal Authority as containing coal mining features at surface or shallow depth.  These features may include: mine entries (shafts and adits); shallow coal workings; geological features (fissures and break lines); mine gas and former surface mining sites.  Although such features are seldom readily visible, they can often be present and problems can occur, particularly as a result of new development taking place. 

 

Any form of development over or within the influencing distance of a mine entry can be dangerous and raises significant land stability and public safety risks.  As a general precautionary principle, the Coal Authority considers that the building over or within the influencing distance of a mine entry should be avoided.  In exceptional circumstance where this is unavoidable, expert advice must be sought to ensure that a suitable engineering design which takes into account all the relevant safety and environmental risk factors, including mine gas and mine-water.  Your attention is drawn to the Coal Authority Policy in relation to new development and mine entries available at:

www.gov.uk/government/publications/building-on-or-within-the-influencing-distance-of-mine-entries

 

Any intrusive activities which disturb or enter any coal seams, coal mine workings or coal mine entries (shafts and adits) requires a Coal Authority Permit.  Such activities could include site investigation boreholes, excavations for foundations, piling activities, other ground works and any subsequent treatment of coal mine workings and coal mine entries for ground stability purposes.  Failure to obtain a Coal Authority Permit for such activities is trespass, with the potential for court action. 

 

If any coal mining features are unexpectedly encountered during development, this should be reported immediately to the CoalAuthority on 0345 762 6848.  Further information is available on the Coal Authority website at:

3.

The applicant is advised to ensure that sound insulation to limit the transmission of noise between each property achieves the minimum requirements as contained in the current version of British Standard Approved Document E.

 

4.

The proposal will involve building works. Given the proximity of residential properties, it is advised that contractors limit noisy works to between 08.00 and 18.00 hours Monday to Friday, 08.00 and 13.00 hours on Saturdays and no noisy works on Sundays and Bank Holidays.

 

Burning commercial waste is a prosecutable offence and all waste should be removed by an appropriate licensed carrier.
