Outline application with all matters reserved for 60 assisted living apartments with access from Walker Street

Former site of Lynncroft Primary School, Walker Street, Eastwood

Nottinghamshire

 

The application was brought before the Committee as it was a major development.

 

There were no late items and no public speakers.

 

It was noted that the number of properties proposed was lower than the allocation in the Local Plan.  The Committee discussed the usefulness of assisted living apartments, the desirability of this type of development, it’s benefit to the Borough and noted that there were no highways objections to the proposal.

 

Debate progressed on to concerns about traffic and the lack of public transport in the area.

 

It was proposed by Councillor D Bagshaw and seconded by Councillor G Marshall that the application be deferred to allow further time for consideration to be given to parking problems on Walker Street.  On being put to the meeting the motion fell.
