Construct dwelling in lieu of approved household extension

8 Garton Close, Chilwell NG9 4GH

Councillor S Jeremiah requested that this proposal come before Committee.

There were late items comprising of the applicant providing additional information stating that the application was in keeping with the area and would provide additional housing.

One public speaker, Joshua Milsom, applicant, made representation to the Committee before the general debate.

The Committee gave consideration to the representations before it, with debate covering the appropriateness of the site. Members considered that the site was appropriate for the development, discussing adequacy of the garden and parking provision, the fact that the structure is already built, and whether adequate internal space would be provided to any tenant.

It was considered that the development would not be overbearing to existing properties and would be a benefit for the area.

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

Conditions:

1.       The development hereby permitted shall be completed in accordance with the following plans received by the Local Planning Authority on 13 February 2026:

• Site Location Plan
• Proposed Ground Floor and First Floor Plans Revision B (Drawing no. D102)
• Proposed Elevations Revision B (Drawings nos. D201 and D202)
• Proposed Roof Plan Revision B (Drawing no. D103)
• Proposed Block Plan Revision B (Drawing no. D301)

Reason: For the avoidance of doubt.

2.       The dwelling shall not be occupied until the landscaping scheme and boundary treatment has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme should include the following details:

a.       The hedges to be retained

b.       Proposed boundary treatment

c.       Proposed hard surfacing treatment

d.       Planting, seeding/turfing of soft landscape areas

Reason: In the interest of residential amenity and the appearance of the area and in accordance with Policy 17 of the Part 2 Local Plan (2019).

3.       The approved landscaping shall be carried out not later than the first planting season following the substantial completion of the development or occupation of the dwelling, whichever is the sooner 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: To ensure the development presents a more pleasant appearance in the locality and in accordance with Policy 17 of the Part 2 Local Plan (2019).

4.       The proposed dwelling shall not be occupied/brought into use until both accesses and parking or turning areas are surfaced in a hard bound material (not loose gravel) for a minimum of 5.5 metres behind the

Highway boundary and constructed so as to prevent the unregulated discharge of surface water to the public highway. The surfaced drives, any parking or turning areas, and the provision to prevent the unregulated discharge of surface water to the public highway shall then be maintained in such hard bound material for the life of the development.

Reason: To reduce the possibility of deleterious material being deposited on the public highway (loose stones etc.) and to ensure surface water from the site is not deposited on the public highway causing dangers to road users.
