Issue - meetings

Erect detached dwelling.

Ruth Farnsworth, The Applicant, spoke in support of the application.

The Head of Development and Place introduced the report.

RESOLVED:

To Refuse Planning Permission.

Reasons

1         In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority the proposed dwelling would represent a form of backland development that would appear alien and entirely incongruous with the established layout and urban form of the area, which is predominantly characterised by properties directly facing the highway with no clear tandem or back land development present. The proposal would therefore fail to accord with Sections Section 12 of the NPPF, Policy 10 of the ACS and paragraph g. of Policy LPD 32, paragraph b. of LPD 35 and paragraph a) 1of policy LPD 40 of the LPD.

Notes to Applicant

You are advised that as of 16th October 2015, the Gedling Borough Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Charging Schedule came into effect. Whilst the above application has been refused by the Local Planning Authority you are advised that CIL applies to all planning permissions granted on or after this date. Thus any successful appeal against this decision may therefore be subject to CIL (depending on the location and type of development proposed). Full details are available on the Council's website.

Planning Statement - The Borough Council has worked positively and proactively with the applicant in accordance with paragraph 38 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2019). There are fundamental policy objections to the proposal and it is considered that these cannot be overcome. In order to avoid the applicant incurring further abortive costs, consideration has not been delayed by discussions, which cannot resolve the reasons for refusal, to facilitate a decision in a timely manner.
