The Chairman, Councillor Richard Butler, as Ward Councillor for Cotgrave withdrew from the committee for the consideration of this item. The Vice-Chairman, Councillor John Stockwood then took the Chair.

 

Item 1 – 18/00823/FUL – Demolition of existing garage and construction of new dwelling with associated parking, landscaping and boundary treatment – 27 Flaxendale, Cotgrave, Nottinghamshire, NG12 3NR.

 

Updates

 

There were no updates reported.

 

In accordance with the Council’s Public Speaking Protocol for Planning Committee Mr Mark Abrams, (objector), addressed the meeting.

 

DECISION

 

REFUSE PLANNING PERMISSION FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS

 

1.    The proposed two storey dwelling to the side garden area of 27 Flaxendale would result in a cramped, over intensive form of development which would be harmful to the character, layout and appearance of the surrounding area.  The proposal would therefore be contrary to policy 10 of the Rushcliffe Local Plan Part 1: Core Strategy; Policies GP2 and HOU2 of the Rushcliffe Borough Non-Statutory Replacement Local Plan and guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework.

 

2.    The proposed two storey dwelling would appear overbearing and intrusive, and result in unacceptable levels of overlooking which would be harmful to the living conditions of 26 and 28 Flaxendale.  Furthermore the proposed development would not provide adequate outdoor amenity space for occupiers of the proposed dwelling or the existing dwelling 27 Flaxendale.  The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policies GP2 and HOU2 of the Rushcliffe Borough Non-Statutory Replacement Local Plan and guidance contained within the Rushcliffe Residential Design Guide and National Planning Policy Framework.

 

Councillor Butler re-joined the committee at this point and re-took the Chair from Councillor John Stockwood.
