Change of use to 84 bed student accommodation (Class C4 HMO including an additional floor)

Broadgate House, Broadgate, Beeston NG9 2HF

 

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

 

The Committee gave consideration to the late items comprised of a re-consultation in relation to the amended Proposed Lower Ground Floor Plan No. A-20082-20-001_P2.  It was noted that 17 objections were received.

 

Mrs Fiona Carter, objecting, Councillor L A Lally, Ward Member and Councillor P Lally, Ward Member, addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.

 

The debate focussed on whether the provision of accommodation specifically for students would reduce the pressure on the housing stock in Beeston, in the vicinity of Nottingham University. 

 

There was concern about antisocial behaviour, impact on neighbouring properties, overdevelopment of the site, the impact on the character of the area and the lack of car parking for the proposed development.  The debate progressed, with the Committee considering the positive impact of students on the vibrancy and diversity of Beeston. 

 

To address the concerns of the Committee it was requested that additional conditions be placed on the development to ensure that car parking was specifically for residents, that there was no smoking on fire escapes and a tenancy management agreement.

 

RESOLVED that planning permission be granted subject to the following conditions and with additional conditions relating to fire doors, a tenant agreement and that car parking be for occupant’s only.
