Construct replacement stable block

69 Hobsic Close, Brinsley, Nottinghamshire, NG16 5AX

The application sought permission to construct a stable block to replace the existing timber stable on the site, which operated as an animal rescue centre. The proposed stable was of a similar size, but more in keeping with the character of the surroundings.

There were no late items for consideration in conjunction with this item. 

Mr Jon Beresford, the applicant and Mr Ian Stapleton, objecting, addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.

It was agreed by the Committee that the work of the animal rescue centre, only 10% of which was in the Green Belt, represented very special circumstances.  It was also noted that the proposed development was not considered to impact on the openness of the Green Belt.  However, the impact on neighbour amenity was noted, though it was considered that the improvements to the stables could reduce the amount of mud and oil that was being spilt because of the hard standing.  Discussion progressed on to practical means by which to reduce the spread of mud from the site on to the public highway. 

It was proposed by Councillor M Radulovic MBE and Councillor D Bagshaw that a condition be added to include the provision of a wheel washing facility.  On being put to the meeting the motion was carried. 

          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.

2.     The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with drawing number KJ2725/02 REV E (1:50, 1:100, 1:200); received by the Local Planning Authority on 23 November 2018.

3.     All waste resulting from the development hereby permitted shall be removed from the site. There shall be no long term storage, burning, incineration or any other means of waste disposal on this site. This means of disposal of waste shall continue throughout the duration of the use

4.     The development hereby permitted shall be constructed using red facing brickwork (south and east facing elevations), block work (north and west elevations), and Staffordshire blue tiles.

5.     Prior to the first use of the development hereby approved details of wheel washing facilities shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The approved wheel washing facilities shall be installed prior to the first use of the development and shall remain in place for the lifetime of the development.

Reasons

1.          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.          For the avoidance of doubt.

3.     To protect the immediate residents from operational odour.

4.     To ensure a satisfactory standard of external appearance and in accordance with the aims of Policy 10 of the Broxtowe Aligned Core Strategy (2014) and Policy 17 of the Broxtowe Draft Part 2 Local Plan (2017).

5. To reduce the possibility of mud and similar substances from the site being deposited on the public highway.
