The report of the Executive Manager - Communities.

Additional documents:

Minutes:

The Committee considered the written report of the Executive Manager - Communities relating to the following applications, which had been circulated previously.

 

18/01491/FUL – Demolition of existing buildings and erection of 8 dwelling with associated parking and new access – RO Royal British Legion, Nottingham Road, Gotham, Nottinghamshire.

 

Updates

 

A representation from Gotham Parish Council (Objector) providing additional information was received after the agenda had been published and was circulated to the committee before the meeting.

 

In accordance with the Council’s Public Speaking Protocol for Planning Committee Claire Adie (applicant’s representative) and Councillor Andrew Brown (neighbouring ward councillor) addressed the committee.

 

Comments

 

Members of the committee thought that the plot sizes were too small, the outside amenity spaces were small and that three of the plots did not have garages, with the likelihood of parking overflow onto the road. In addition members thought the dwellings should be designed for first time buyers or the older generation wishing to downsize.

 

DECISION

 

THE ABOVE PLANNING APPLICATION WAS REFUSED PLANNING PERMISSION FOR THE FOLLOWING REASON.

 

1.      The proposal would result in an over intensive form of development leading to limited private garden areas intended to serve the proposed dwellings, failing to create an attractive, inclusive and healthy environment, which would be detrimental to the amenities of future occupiers of the dwellings. The development is therefore contrary to Core Strategy Policy 10: Design and Local Identity (2) as well as the adopted Residential Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document (C.2).

 

2.    The applicant has failed to demonstrate that the proposed development would be of a mix and typology which would solely meet the local housing need of Gotham and therefore is contrary to Policy 3: Spatial Strategy (2)(b)(VII) of the adopted Core Strategy 2014.

 

19/00112/FUL – Construction of two storey side extension – 17 Elterwater Drive, Gamston, Nottinghamshire.

 

Updates

 

There were no updates reported.

 

DECISION

 

GRANT PLANNING PERMISSION FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS SET OUT IN THE REPORT SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS.

 

1.    The development must be begun not later than the expiration of three years beginning with the date of this permission.

 

[To comply with Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, as amended by the Planning & Compulsory Purchase Act 2004].

 

2.    The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the following approved plan(s): A102, and A103 REV 1.

3.    The extension(s) hereby permitted shall be constructed in suitable facing and roofing materials to match the elevations of the existing property.
