Minutes:

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

 

As ward Councillors for Cotgrave, Councillor R Butler and Councillor L Healy withdrew from the meeting at this point and did not take part in the consideration of the following item.

 

20/01309/FUL – Erection of 3 dwellings with associated parking – Land North of 19 Marlwood, Cotgrave, Nottinghamshire.

 

Updates

 

Further representations were received from residents objecting to the development or making observations, and additional information was received from the applicant after the agenda had been published and were circulated to the committee before the meeting.

 

In accordance with the Council’s public speaking protocol, Mr Gatehouse (applicant), Mr Douglas (objector) and Councillor Healy (Ward Councillor), addressed the committee.

 

DECISION

 

PLANNING PERMISSION BE REFUSED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS.

 

1.               It has not been adequately demonstrated that the provision of three affordable dwellings would outweigh the harm caused by the loss of open space that contributes to the character of the area, amenities of existing occupiers and wellbeing of local residents by virtue of its contribution to opportunities for informal communal recreation. The proposal would, therefore be contrary to Policies 11 (Housing Development on Unallocated Sites Within Settlements) and 34 (Green Infrastructure and Open Space Assets) of the Rushcliffe Local Plan Part 2: Land and Planning Policies.

 

Councillor Butler and Councillor Healy re-joined the meeting at this point.

 

20/01035/FUL – Demolition of a single storey bungalow and the erection of a 3 bedroomed, two storey detached dwelling with a raised patio to the rear on the existing plot – 1A Adbolton Grove, West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire.

 

Updates

 

In accordance with the council’s public speaking protocol, Mr Sewell (applicant) and Councillor R Mallender (Ward Councillor), addressed the committee.

 

 

 

 

 

Comments

 

The Service Manager – Communities recommended two extra conditions requiring the development to meet the higher ‘Optional Technical Housing Standard’ for water consumption and for the provision of an electric vehicle charging point.

 

Members of the committee considered the development to be of an innovative design, was not overbearing on neighbouring properties and that it sits well on the existing footprint.

 

DECISION

 

GRANT PLANNING PERMISSION FOR THE REASONS SET OUT ABOVE AND 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.
