Councillor P J Owen has requested this application be determined by Committee.

 

The Committee considered the late items related to a second consultation that was carried out due to a change of description and amended plans being received.  In response to the consultation eleven objections and a petition of 64 signatures in opposition being received.

 

Janet Russell, applicant, Alan Coulton, objecting and Councillor Paul Simpson, Ward Member addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.

 

The Chair then made a statement that any hint of racism at Planning Committee would not be tolerated. 

 

It was noted that the Nuthall Neighbourhood Plan stated that the loss of houses that were suitable for elderly residents or those with limited mobility would be resisted and this was discussed with regards to the personal circumstances of the applicant. 

 

The debate focussed on whether the design of the proposed development would have an impact on neighbour amenity and the street scene.  There were concerns about the impact of the balcony on the privacy of the neighbours and that the unusual design may dominate the street scene.

 

As the debate progressed it was considered that the street scene would not be impacted negatively as was a mix of housing, including two storey houses opposite the proposed development, that the design was interesting and that there would be no impact of overlooking on neighbour amenity because the proposed balcony was to be obscurely glazed.
