Reasons for Decision

 

The proposed development is consistent with Gedling Borough planning policies. The proposal represents an acceptable form of development which seeks to reduce crime, the detection of crime and the fear of crime. The proposal is not considered to have an unacceptable impact on the visual amenity of the area. The proposal will not have an unacceptable impact on the residential amenity of the occupiers of neighbouring properties. The proposal will not increase flood risk in the area. It is considered that the proposal is appropriate for its context and is in accordance with the NPPF (Sections 8 and 12), Policy 10 of the GBCAS (2014) and Policies LPD 3 and 32 of the LPD.

 

Notes to Applicant

 

The applicant is advised that all planning permissions granted on or 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 given that there is no net additional increase of floorspace as a result of the development.

 

Planning Statement - The Borough Council has worked positively and proactively with the applicant in accordance with paragraph 38 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 should be aware that the site is within a flood zone and therefore it would be advisable to set any control equipment as high as possible to offset the risk of any control equipment becoming damaged.
