Construct a pair of semi-detached houses

Land between 3 and 5 Bosworth Drive, Newthorpe, Nottinghamshire

The application was called to Committee at the request of Councillor R Bullock.

The late items were noted, including an objection received from Brinsley Parish Council regarding the loss of the unregistered footpath and other concerns from residents.

Councillor R Bullock, Ward Member, made representation to the Committee prior to the general debate.

After considering the evidence before it, the Committee commenced the debate. It was noted that deferring the application until the footpath had been adopted was impractical, as the process was lengthy. The debate progressed on to the size and scale of the proposed development, and it was stated that although the houses would have three storeys, the top storey would be a loft conversion, maintaining the same ridge height as the other properties on the street.
