Notes to Applicant

 

Planning Statement - The Borough Council has worked positively and proactively with the applicant in accordance with paragraphs 186 to 187 of the National Planning Policy Framework. During the processing of the application there were no problems for which the Local Planning Authority had to seek a solution in relation to this application.

 

The applicant is advised that all planning permissions granted on or after 16th October 2015  may be subject to the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). Full details of CIL are available on the Council's website. The proposed development has been assessed and it is the Council's view that CIL is not payable on the development hereby approved as the development type proposed is zero rated in this location.

 

Air Quality Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Infrastructure The applicant's attention is drawn to an informal planning guidance document which has been produced to try and define what sustainable development means in the context of air quality, and how we might help decrease levels by incorporating mitigation measures into scheme design as standard.(See http://www.gedling.gov.uk/planningbuildingcontrol/planningpolicy/emerginglocalplan/supplementaryplanningdocuments/)We would also ask therefore, that the applicant considers the commitment to incorporate provision for an EV (electric vehicle) charging point(s); to allow those accessing the facilities to charge electric/plug-in hybrid vehicles. Reference can be made to guidance produced by IET Code of Practice for EV Charging Equipment Installation for details of charging points and plugs specifications.
