Construct single storey rear extension to form a 5 bed cluster flat

Flewitt House, Middle Street, Beeston NG9 2AR

The application was brought before Committee at the request of Councillor P Lally and Councillor L A Lally.

There were no late items for the application.

Kapil Lathia, applicant, and Councillor P Lally, Ward Member made representation to the Committee prior to the general debate.

The debate included concerns regarding overdevelopment, the risk of flooding and car parking.  It was also noted that this was an ideal location for the provision of further student accommodation in a purpose built development.

There was concern that as a previous proposal for a two storey development had been refused, that there would be permitted development rights to build the upper storey.

It was proposed by Councillor D K Watts and seconded by Councillor D Grindell that an additional condition be added to remove permitted development rights, the precise wording of which to be delegated to the Head of Planning and Economic Development on the Chair of the Planning Committee.  On being put to the meeting the motion was carried.  After the meeting it was established that no condition was necessary as no permitted development rights existed.
