APPLICATION NUMBER

01/12/2021 - 20/00844/OUT

Outline planning application with all matters reserved to construct up to 110 dwellings with access from Lynncroft

Former site of Lynncroft Primary School, Garden Road, Eastwood NG16 3FZ

 

The application was brought before Committee because it was a major development.

 

There were a number of late items considered by the Committee including emails opposing the application because of flooding and comments from the Parks and Green Spaces Manager regarding the use of management companies to maintain the green spaces for the proposed development.

 

Neil Gamble, on behalf of the applicant, addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.

 

The Committee debated the proposal, specifically the promise that all homes on the would have off street parking, which some did not, the problems with flooding in the area and the access to the site.  It was also noted that this development should be seen as an opportunity to have all homes on Garden Road connected to the mains water.

 

The Committee went on to discuss the high volume of traffic that would be caused to go along Lynncroft.  This was a concern as the road was heavily double parked.
