Construct detached bungalow

Land to the rear of 65 Newdigate Road, Watnall, Nottinghamshire, NG16 1HN

 

The application is brought to the Committee at request of Councillor M Radulovic MBE and Councillor J M Owen.

 

There were no late items.

 

Jake Shaw, on behalf of the applicant, addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.

 

After weighing the evidence before it, the Committee debated the item.  It was noted that an objector had been unable to give evidence to the Committee as they were unwell.  There were concerns about the scale of the proposed development.  There was a discussion about the existing outbuildings and whether the proposed bungalow would exceed the size of those.  The debate moved on to the impact of the new property on the character and appearance of the neighbourhood and the impact on the amenity of the neighbour.

Note 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 Coal Authority on 0345 762 6848.  Further information is available on the Coal Authority website at www.gov.uk/government/organisations/the-coal-authority

 

3.       1. Developer to purchase the first time provision of bins. Notice served in due course.

2. The site plan states that a two bedroom detached bungalow is to be constructed in a currently used residential garden area. There is no mention of the number of occupants.

3. It is assumed each bedroom will be single occupancy. If that is not the case then the 140 litre capacity per room will need to change to 240 litre capacity. The bin allocation would then need to recalculated accordingly.

4. The plans do not state there is proposed bin storage area.

5. The properties would be allocated the following:

2 x 140 litre bin for residual waste = 280 litres = 1 x 240L litre bin

2 x 140 litre bin for recycling waste = 280 litres = 1 x 240L litre bin

2 x 37 litre bag for glass = 74 litres = 1 x 140 litre glass bin

6. The approx. size of a 140 litre bin is approx. 1060mm (h) x 480mm (w) x 550mm (d)

7. The approx. size of a 240 litre bins is 1074mm (h) x 580mm (w) x 734mm (d)

8. Bins need to be presented at the edge of adopted highway for emptying.

 

4.         Due to the proximity of the site to residential properties it is recommended 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.

 

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.
