Outline planning (Some Matters Reserved) for residential development (2 dwellings)

Land to the rear of 40 Main Street, Awsworth, Nottinghamshire, NG16 2QT

 

Councillor D D Pringle had asked that this proposal come before Committee.

 

There were no late items.

 

Greg Parkes, objecting, made representation to the Committee prior to the general debate.  A statement was read out on behalf of Councillor D D Pringle, Ward Member.

 

After considering all of the evidence before it the Committee debated the application.  There were concerns about the access to the site and whether the turning would be too tight for an emergency vehicle.  There were also discussions about flooding, drainage, the public right of way and the positioning of a fence on the site.

 

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

 

1.

Application for approval of the reserved matters shall be made to the Local Planning Authority before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission.

 

Reason: To comply with S92 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by S51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

 

2.

The development hereby permitted shall be commenced before the expiration of two years from the date of approval of the last of the reserved matters to be approved.

 

Reason: To comply with S92 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by S51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

 

3.

This outline permission relates to the Ordnance Survey Site Plan (1:1250) and Block Plan (1:200) Drawing reference DB/MC/23/9902 received by the Local Planning Authority on 14 February 2024.

 

Reason: For the avoidance of doubt.

 

4.

No development shall commence until all of the reserved matters below have been approved on application to the Planning Authority:

 

                        i.         the design and external appearance of the proposed development;

                      ii.         a proposed site section plan; and

                     iii.         landscaping proposals for the site of the proposed development (including boundary treatments);

 

The development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details.

 

Reason: The application was submitted in outline only and to ensure that the details of the development are acceptable to the Local Planning Authority.

 

4.

Landscaping works shall be carried out in accordance with the approved scheme. All planting, seeding or turfing as may be comprised in the approved details shall be carried out in the first planting and seeding seasons following the commencement of development, unless otherwise stated in the approved scheme.

 

Any trees or plants which within a period of five years from the completion of the development die, for whatever reason are removed or damaged shall be replaced in the next planting season with others of the same size and species.

 

Reason: To ensure that the development is sensitive to, and compatible with, its context and local architectural styles and in accordance with the aims of Policy 17 of the Broxtowe Part 2 Local Plan (2019) and Policy 10 of the Aligned Core Strategy (2014).

 

5.

No part of the development hereby approved shall commence until a detailed surface water drainage scheme has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority in consultation with the Lead Local Flood Authority. The scheme shall be implemented in accordance with the approved details prior to completion of the development. The scheme to be submitted shall:

? Demonstrate that the development will use SuDS throughout the site as a primary means of surface water management and that design is in accordance with CIRIA C753 and NPPF Paragraph 169.

? Limit the discharge generated by all rainfall events up to the 100 year plus 40% (climate change) critical rain storm to QBar rates for the developable area.

? Provide detailed design (plans, network details, calculations and supporting summary documentation) in support of any surface water drainage scheme, including details on any attenuation system, the outfall arrangements and any private drainage assets.

Calculations should demonstrate the performance of the designed system for a range of return periods and storm durations inclusive of the

 1 in 1 year, 1 in 30 year and 1 in 100 year plus climate change return periods.

o No surcharge shown in a 1 in 1 year.

o No flooding shown in a 1 in 30 year.

o For all exceedance to be contained within the site boundary without flooding properties in a 100 year plus 40% storm.

? Evidence to demonstrate the viability (e.g Condition, Capacity and positive onward connection) of any receiving watercourse to accept and convey all surface water from the site.

? Details of STW approval for connections to existing network and any adoption of site drainage infrastructure.

? Evidence of approval for drainage infrastructure crossing third party land where applicable.

? Provide a surface water management plan demonstrating how surface water flows will be managed during construction to ensure no increase in flood risk off site.

? Evidence of how the on-site surface water drainage systems shall be maintained and managed after completion and for the lifetime of the development to ensure long term effectiveness.

 

Reason:A detailed surface water management plan is required to ensure that the development is in accordance with NPPF and local planning policies. It should be ensured that all major developments have sufficient surface water management, are not at increased risk of flooding and do not increase flood risk off-site and in accordance with the aims of Policy 1 of the Broxtowe 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.

Under the Coal Industry Act 1994 any intrusive activities which disturb or enter any coal seams, coal mine workings or coal mine entries (shafts and adits) require the prior written permission of the Coal Authority since these activities can have serious public health and safety implications. 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 permission to enter or disturb our property will result in the potential for court action. Application forms for Coal Authority permission and further guidance can be obtained from The Coal Authority’s website at: www.gov.uk/get-a-permit-to-deal-with-a-coal-mine-on-your-property.

 

3.

In areas where shallow coal seams are present caution should be taken when carrying out any on site burning or heat focused activities.

 

4.

You are advised that construction work associated with the approved development (incl. the loading/unloading of delivery vehicles, plant or other machinery), for which noise is audible at the boundary of the application site, should not normally take place outwith the hours of 08:00 and 19:00 Monday to Friday, 08:00 and 13:00 on Saturdays or at any time on a Sunday or Bank Holiday, as prescribed in Schedule 1 of the Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971 (as amended).

 

5.

Burning of commercial waste is a prosecutable offence. It also causes unnecessary nuisance to those in the locality. All waste should be removed by an appropriately licensed carrier.
