Land At Rear Of 1A To 1D Willoughby Street, Portland Street Beeston Nottinghamshire

 

The application is brought to the Committee at the request of Councillor G Bunn.

 

There were late items comprising a note that the application met the nationally described space standards and giving other examples of low-or-no parking residential schemes in or near Beeston Town Centre.

 

There were no public speakers for this item.

 

The Committee opened the debate after considering all representations. The Committee debated the fact that no parking is provided at the scheme and the other schemes in Beeston where this is the case, environmental considerations such as the amount of tree coverage, and transport links in Beeston centre.

 

          RESOLVED that planning permission be approved, 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.

e)  a scheme for the recycling/disposal of waste resulting from construction works; and

f)  details of dust and noise suppression to be used during the construction phase.

 

Reason: No such details were provided and the development cannot proceed satisfactorily without such details being provided and in accordance with the aims of Policy 17 of the Part 2 Local Plan (2019) and Policy 10 of the Aligned Core Strategy (2014).

 

4.       No development shall commence until details of a noise assessment have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The report shall be prepared in accordance with the provisions of the current BS8233 to predict noise levels at the nearest noise sensitive location. Predictions shall be contained in a report which sets out: a largescale plan of the proposed development; noise sources and measurement/prediction points marked on plan; a list of noise sources; a list of assumed noise emission levels; details of noise mitigation measures; description of noise calculation procedures; noise levels at a representative sample of noise sensitive locations; a comparison of noise level with appropriate current criteria.

 

Where current criteria are exceeded at any location it should be explained why that excess is immaterial or what further mitigation will be undertaken to ensure that criteria will be met.

 

Reason: No such details were submitted with the application, due to the location of the building next to air conditioning units and to protect occupiers from excessive external noise and in accordance with the aims of Policy 17 of the Part 2 Local Plan (2019) and Policy 10 of the Aligned Core Strategy (2014).

 

5.       No above ground works shall commence until manufacturing details of external facing materials have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The development shall be constructed only in accordance with the approved details. 

 

Reason: No such details were submitted with the application and in the interests of the appearance of the development and in accordance with the aims of Policy 17 of the Part 2 Local Plan (2019) and Policy 10 of the Aligned Core Strategy (2014).

 

6.       No above ground works shall take place until a landscaping scheme has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. This scheme shall include the following details: 

 

a)  numbers, types, sizes and positions of proposed trees and shrubs;  

b)  details of boundary treatments; 

c)  proposed hard surfacing treatment;

d)  planting, seeding/turfing of other soft landscape areas; and 

e)  timetable for implementation of the scheme. 

 

The approved scheme shall be carried out strictly in accordance  with the approved details and shall be carried out not later than the first planting season following the substantial completion of the development and any trees or plants which, within a period of 5 years, die, are removed or have become seriously damaged or diseased, shall be replaced in the next planting season with ones of similar size and species to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority, unless written consent has been obtained from the Local Planning Authority for a variation. 

 

Reason: Insufficient details were submitted with the application and to ensure the development presents a satisfactory standard of external appearance to the area and in accordance with the aims of Policy 17 of the Part 2 Local Plan (2019) and Policy 10 the Broxtowe Aligned Core Strategy (2014).

 

7.       No construction or site preparation work in association with this permission shall be undertaken outside of the hours of 08:00-18.00 Monday to Friday, 08:00-13:00 Saturdays and at no time on Sundays or Bank Holidays. 

 

Reason: To minimise disturbance to neighbours and in accordance with the aims of aims of Policy 17 of the Part 2 Local Plan (2019) and Policy 10 of the Broxtowe Aligned Core Strategy (2014).
