Change of Use to Residential (C3) and External Alterations.

The applicant spoke in favour of the application.

RESOLVED: to GRANT CONDITIONAL PLANNING PERMISSION

Conditions

1.       The development must be begun not later than three years beginning with the date of this permission.

2.       The existing detached outbuilding located to the North of the dwellinghouse, shall only be used for purposes ancillary to the main dwellinghouse.

3.       The window fronting onto the public highway shall not open out over the adopted footway.

4.       The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the submitted plans, named 'Proposed plans and elevations', drawing no. 0002 deposited on the 20th January 2015.

Reasons

1.       In order to comply with Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

2.       For the avoidance of doubt.

3.       No opening windows/structures should open over the adopted highway/footway.

4.       For the avoidance of doubt.

Reasons for Decision

In the opinion of the Borough Council the change of use to residential would not have a significant impact on community facilities in the area. The proposed renovations to the property, to maintain the fabric of the building in a prominent location within the Conservation Area would, on balance, outweigh the harm to the Community with the loss of a hairdressing salon. The proposal therefore accords with Policy ENV1, ENV15, ENV30, C4 and H11 (Development Criteria) of the Gedling Borough Replacement Local Plan (Certain Policies Saved 2008).

Notes to Applicant

The Borough Council has worked positively and proactively with the applicant, in accordance with paragraphs 186 and 187 of the National Planning Policy Framework. Negotiations have taken place during the consideration of the application to address adverse impacts identified by officers and/or address concerns raised in letters of representation submitted in connection with the proposal. Amendments have been made to the proposal, addressing the identified adverse impacts, thereby resulting in a more acceptable scheme and a favourable recommendation.
