Construct 3 houses and 2 apartments with associated parking and dropped kerb including provision of new driveway to existing cottage and demolition of single storey extension

Fishpond Cottage, 51 Ilkeston Road, Bramcote, NG9 3JP

 

This application sought approval to construct 3 houses and 2 apartments with associated parking and was brought to the Committee as it is an application made by the Council.

 

Members considered the late items for the application which included additional objections which raised concerns over the loss of privacy, the building height, the overpowering nature of the building and the loss of parking.

 

Ms Kim Melvill-Smith (objecting), Mr P Goodrick (applicant) and Councillor H Land and I Tyler (Ward Members) addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.

 

Members debated the application and the following comments were amongst those noted:

 

  • The proposal was over intensive for the surrounding area.
  • Further parking issues that would arise from the increased number of residents.
  • There would be a loss of neighbour amenity.
  • There was a need to deliver housing within the area.
