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.

The Borough Council is charging developers for the first time provision of wheeled refuse containers for household and recycling wastes.

Please contact the Borough Council (Tel: 0115 981 9911) and ask for the Recycling Officer to arrange for payment and delivery of the bins.

Updates

 

Additional representations were received after the agenda had been published and were circulated to the Committee before the meeting.

 

DECISION

 

PLANNING PERMISSION BE REFUSED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:

 

1.                  Due to its siting and scale, the proposed extension would represent an incongruous addition to the shopping parade and would have an intrusive visual impact in the street scene, which would be unsympathetic to the character of the surroundings. The proposed development is, therefore, contrary to Section 12  (Achieving Well Designed Places) of the National Planning Policy Framework, policy 10 (Design and Enhancing Local Identity) of the Rushcliffe Local Plan Part 1: Core Strategy, policies 1 (Development Requirements) & 25 (Development within District Centres and Local Centres) of the Rushcliffe Local Plan Part 2: Land and Planning Policies, and policy 14 (Design and Layout) of the Radcliffe on Trent Neighbourhood Plan.

 

2.                  The proposed development would result in the loss of a Maple tree which is protected by a Tree Preservation Order and which enhances the street scene and has notable public amenity value. The proposed development is, therefore, contrary to the environmental objective of the National Planning Policy Framework and policy 37 (Trees and Woodlands) of the Rushcliffe Local Plan Part 2: Land and Planning Policies.
