Retention of Marquee

20 Nottingham Road, Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, NG16 3NQ

Councillor M Radulovic MBE requested that this application be considered by Committee.

There were four late items that were noted by the Committee comprised of three letters of support and a submission from a sound engineer commissioned by the applicant.

Cain Oliver, applicant and Mr Ward, objecting, made representation to the Committee prior to the general debate.

The Committee noted a letter from a neighbour to the proposed development and all of the other representations that were made.  There was debate about the marquee blocking access to other businesses, concern about noise from neighbours, the loss of car parking, the provision of 15 jobs at the establishment, and there was a call for compromise.  It was considered that the application for the marquee to be used Monday to Saturday between the hours of 10am and 2:30am was unreasonable because of the impact that the noise would have on neighbours. 

It was proposed by Councillor D K Watts and seconded by Councillor J W McGrath that a temporary permission be granted for a period of twelve months until 11pm, for 32 days in that period, with the precise wording of the approval and conditions to be delegated to the Chair of Planning Committee in agreement with the Head of Planning and Economic Development.  On being put to the meeting the motion passed.

RESOLVED that planning permission be granted for a period of twelve months until 11pm, for 32 days in that period, with the precise wording of the approval and conditions to be delegated to the Chair of Planning Committee in agreement with the Head of Planning and Economic Development.

The development be carried out in accordance with the application, subject to compliance with the Conditions imposed, and the subsequent approval of all matters referred to in the conditions, for the reasons set out below.

Conditions:

1.         This permission shall be for a limited period of one year expiring on the 10.12.22 when the building works carried out under this permission shall be removed and the land reinstated to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority unless prior permission has been obtained in writing from the Local Planning Authority for its retention.

2.         The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with drawings numbered TO/GKO/16/036/05 received on 12 August 2021

3.         The use of the marquee shall be limited to a maximum of 32 sessions per annum. Such sessions shall only take place between 12.00 noon - 23.00 hours on any given day.

Reasons:

1.         To protect immediate residents from excessive operational noise, in accordance with Policy 10 of the Broxtowe Aligned Core Strategy (2014) and Policy 19 of the Broxtowe Part 2 Local Plan (2019).

2.         For the avoidance of doubt

3.         To protect immediate residents from excessive operational noise, in accordance with Policy 10 of the Broxtowe Aligned Core Strategy (2014) and Policy 19 of the Broxtowe Part 2 Local Plan (2019).

Note to Applicant

Whilst it has not been possible to achieve a positive outcome, due to the fundamental concern regarding the use, appearance and siting of the marquee, the Council has acted positively and proactively in the determination of this application and a decision was issued within the agreed determination period.
