Agenda and minutes

None.

RESOLVED:

That the minutes of the above meeting, having been circulated, be approved as a correct record.

The Chair declared a collective non-pecuniary interest in item 7 on the agenda, as the site was in the ownership of Gedling Borough Council.

Conversion and alteration of pavilion building for use as a childrens' day nursery, including access improvements, 10 car parking spaces and formation of a pedestrian path.

A written representation from Philippa Fisher, a local resident who was in objection to the application, was read by Cayte Goodall, Democratic Services Officer.

The Head of Development and Place introduced the report.  He advised Members that further to the publication of the report, a provisional Tree Preservation Order had been made for a group of trees to the front of the site, in consultation with the Chair of Planning Committee.

RESOLVED:

That the Borough Council refuses planning permission on the following grounds:-

Reasons

 1         The proposed development would include the change of use of agricultural land and engineering works to create a pedestrian footpath in association with the proposed nursery along with the erection of a palisade fence with gates around the proposed planning unit. These forms of development are, by definition, inappropriate development within the Green Belt and therefore would be harmful to the openness of the Nottingham-Derby Green Belt. There are no very special circumstances or other material considerations that would outweigh this harm and therefore the proposal would be contrary to the aims of Section 13 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2019) and policy LPD12 of the LPD (2019).

 2         The proposed development by virtue of the creation of a pedestrian footpath in association with the proposed nursery along with the erection of a palisade fence with gates around the proposed planning unit and the loss of the mature tree to the front of the building would result in an undue impact on the rural character of the site and immediately surrounding landscape area. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Section 12 of the NPPF (2019), Policy 10 of the ACS (2014) and Policy LPD 19 of the LPD (2018).

Notes to Applicant

The application is clearly contrary to the Development Plan and other material planning considerations, as detailed in the above reason for refusal. It is not considered that any suitable alterations could be made to the scheme to address the Borough Council's Green Belt concern

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.

Proposed Apartment Building for 10 Apartments including the demolition of an existing building and garage.

The Head of Development and Place introduced the report.

RESOLVED:

That the Borough Council refuses planning permission on the following grounds:-

Reasons

 1         In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority the proposed development would, by reason of its design, scale, massing and height appear a visually dominant and incongruous feature, which would be out of character with the area to the detriment of the visual amenity of the streetscene and the wider setting.  The proposal therefore fails to meet with the objectives of Section 12 of the NPPF (2019), Policy 10 of the GBACS (2014), and Policies LPD 35 and 40 of the LPD (2018).

 2         In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority the proposed development by reason of its design, scale, massing and height would result in an adverse impact on the residential amenity in terms of overbearing, overshadowing and overlooking impact. The proposal therefore fails to meet the objectives of Section 12 of the NPPF (2019) and Policies LPD 32 and LPD 40 of LPD (2018).

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). However the proposed development is considered to be unacceptable, for the reason set out.

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.

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.

Newstead Abbey Park Woodland Tree Preservation Order

The Head of Development and Place introduced the report.  He informed Members that following publication of the report a further representation had been received and that the only new issue raised, which was not covered in the report, was that a significant number of trees were not visible from the public realm. 

He added that in response to the additional issue raised, he would advise that some of the trees were not visible from the public realm, however they did still contribute to the wider setting and amenity of the woodland which the Tree Preservation Order was seeking to protect. 

He concluded that the representations received did not raise any new issues and therefore recommended that the Tree Preservation Order was confirmed and the historic orders were revoked, in accordance with the report.

To confirm Tree Preservation Order - 000141 ‘Newstead Abbey Park’ without modifications and revoke TPOs G0028 and G28B
