With regard to works affecting the highway you are advised that Nottinghamshire County Council are the Highway Authority and it is suggested that you contact the Highways Area Office by telephoning  08449 808080 for further information.

 

The provision of a vehicular footway crossing requires works within the public highway on land outside your control. You are therefore advised to contact the Highways Area Office by telephoning  08449 808080 to arrange for these works.

 

This decision relates to planning law only. It is not a legal agreement either to remove or relocate any right of way affected by the development given planning permission.

 

You are advised to ensure disturbance to neighbours is kept to a minimum during construction by restricting working hours to Monday to Friday 7.00am to 7.00pm, Saturday 8.00am to 5.00pm and by not working on Sundays or Bank Holidays. If you intend to work outside these hours you are requested to contact the Environmental Health Officer on 0115 9148322.

 

This is subject to an Agreement made under the provisions of Section 106 of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990 (as substituted by the Planning & Compensation Act 1992) relating to Healthcare.  Any payments will increase subject to the provisions set out in the Agreement.

 

It is an offence under S148 and S151 of the Highways Act 1980 to deposit mud on the public highway and as such you should undertake every effort to prevent it occurring.

 

In considering the application, the Planning Committee indicated that they would expect the future layout of the site (care facility and commercial units) and any details submitted pursuant to condition 15 and 16 of this permission to include the provision of a public realm area as part of the commercial development to provide opportunities for members of the community to gather/meet in the interest of community cohesion.

Updates

 

A representation was received from the Council’s Environment Sustainability Officer after the agenda had been published and was circulated to the Committee before the meeting.

 

In accordance with the Council’s public speaking protocol at planning committee, David Symons (Applicants Agent), Anne McLeod (objector – Radcliffe on Trent Parish Council) and Councillor Neil Clarke (Ward Councillor) addressed the Committee.

 

Comments

 

Members of the committee considered the proposed application and raised concerns that the development would be over intensive and an overdevelopment of the plot, resulting in a cramped form of development, and would not fit in aesthetically with the street scene on St Johns Road. The Committee also noted that the plot was small and narrow which would restrict access for emergency vehicles and that access to Grantham Road would be dangerous.

 

DECISION

 

PLANNING PERMISSION BE REFUSED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:

 

1.       The development, by reason of density, layout, massing and design, would appear cramped and over intensive for the site, creating a form of development that would not be sympathetic to the character and appearance of the locality, or respect surround form, layout and context. Notably the semi-detached form and limited width of the plots would not be in keeping with the prevailing pattern of the development in the area. Therefore the development would be contrary to Policy 10 (Parts 1a; 1c; 2a; 2e; 2f & 4) of the Rushcliffe Local Plan Part 1: Core Strategy; Policy 1 (Part 4) and Policy 11 (Part 1 section b) of the Local Plan Part 2: Land and Planning Policies; Policies 11 and 15 of the Radcliffe on Trent Neighbourhood Plan; and Section 12 of the NPPF (paragraph 127; parts b) and c)).

 

Of particular reference the development would be in accordance with Paragraph 130 (Section 12) of the NPPF which states:

 

‘Permission should be refused for development of poor design that fails to take the opportunities available for improving the character and quality of an area and the way it functions, taking into account any local design standards or style guides in plans or supplementary planning documents.’

 

2.              The proposed new access onto Grantham Road (A52 Trunk Road) to serve plots 3 and 4 would result in an unacceptable impact on highway safety by virtue of the speed and volume of traffic utilising this part of the Trunk Road Network. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy 1 (Part 2) and Policy 11 (Part 1 section g) of the Local Plan Part 2: Land and Planning Policies; and Section 9 of the NPPF (paragraph 109).

 

Councillor Abby Brennan and Councillor Neil Clarke re-joined the meeting at this point.

In accordance with the Council’s speaking protocol at planning committee, Simon Jenks (Applicant), Nigel Gould (Objector) and Councillor Thomas (Ward Councillor) addressed the committee.

 

Comments

Notes to Applicant

 

Please be advised that all applications approved on or after the 7th October 2019 may be subject to the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). The Borough Council considers that the approved development is CIL chargeable as the floor area would exceed 100sqm. Full details of the amount payable, the process and timescales for payment, and any potential exemptions/relief that may be applicable will be set out in a Liability Notice to be issued following this decision.

Further information about CIL can be found on the Borough Council's website at https://www.rushcliffe.gov.uk/planningandgrowth/cil/

 

This permission does not give any legal right for any work on, over or under land or buildings outside the application site ownership or affecting neighbouring property, including buildings, walls, fences and vegetation within that property.  If any such work is anticipated, the consent of the adjoining land owner must first be obtained.  The responsibility for meeting any claims for damage to such features lies with the applicant.

 

Any existing hedgerow/trees should be retained and enhanced, any hedge/trees removed should be replaced. Boundary verges should be retained and enhanced. Where possible new trees/hedges should be planted with native species (preferably of local provenance and including fruiting species). See

https://www.rushcliffe.gov.uk/conservation/treeshedgesandlandscaping/landscapingandtreeplanting/plantingonnewdevelopments/ for advice including the planting guides (but exclude Ash (Fraxinus excelsior)). Good practise construction methods should be adopted including:

 

-         Advising all workers of the potential for protected species. If protected species are found during works, work should cease until a suitable qualified ecologist has been consulted.

-         No works or storage of materials or vehicle movements should be carried out in or immediately adjacent to ecological mitigation areas or sensitive areas (including ditches).

-         All work impacting on vegetation or buildings used by nesting birds should avoid the active bird nesting season, if this is not possible a search of the impacted areas should be carried out by a suitably competent person for nests immediately prior to the commencement of works. If any nests are found work should not commence until a suitably qualified ecologist has been consulted.

-         Best practice should be followed during building work to ensure trenches dug during works activities that are left open overnight should be left with a sloping end or ramp to allow animal that may fall in to escape. Also, any pipes over 200mm in diameter should be capped off at night to prevent animals entering. Materials such as netting and cutting tools should not be left in the works area where they might entangle or injure animals. No stockpiles of vegetation should be left overnight and if they are left then they should be dismantled by hand prior to removal. Night working should be avoided.

-         Root protection zones should be established around retained trees / hedgerows so that storage of materials and vehicles, the movement of vehicles and works are not carried out within these zones.

-         Pollution prevention measures should be adopted.
