Demolition of Existing Public House

Inham Nook Hotel, Inham Road, Chilwell, Nottinghamshire, NG9 4HX

 

This application was brought before Committee as the site was owned by the Council.

 

There were no late items for the Committee to note.

 

Peter Goodrick, applicant, addressed the Committee prior to the general debate. 

 

During the debate it was noted that the public house had not been a viable business for some years, with a high turnover of tenants and a reputation for antisocial behaviour.  The Committee also discussed the need for social housing and the benefit to local residents of the proposed pocket park.

 

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

 

1.

The development hereby permitted shall be commenced before the expiration of three years beginning with the date of this permission.

 

Reason: To comply with S91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by S51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

 

2.

The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the site location plan, Demolition Method Statement and the Ecological Appraisal, received by the Local Planning Authority on 17.01.22.

 

Reason: For the avoidance of doubt.

 

3.

The erection of fencing for the protection of the retained trees shall be undertaken in accordance with details which shall have first been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority, before any equipment, machinery or materials are brought on to the site for the purposes of the demolition, and shall be maintained until all equipment, machinery and surplus materials have been removed from the site.  Nothing shall be stored or placed in any area fenced in accordance with this condition and the ground levels within those areas shall not be altered, nor shall any excavation be made, without the written consent of the Local Planning Authority.

 

Reason: To ensure the retained trees are not adversely affected and in accordance with the aims of Policy 31 of the Broxtowe Part 2 Local Plan (2019).

 

4.
