Agenda and minutes

Councillors Parr and Hewson attended as substitutes for Councillors Stirland and Doyle, who had given their apologies for absence.

RESOLVED:

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

The Chair declared a non-pecuniary interest, on behalf of all members of the Committee, in application number 2016/0253 on the grounds that Gedling Borough Council is both the applicant and the owner of the site.

Construction of a detached bungalow and associated alterations to existing boundary and parking arrangement.

RESOLVED to REFUSE PLANNING PERMISSION:

1.       The proposed development by reason of its scale and design would result in an overintensive development of the site that would be detrimental to the visual appearance of the area and incongruous on the streetscene.  The proposal would therefore not accord with the following local policies:- Policy 10 'Design and Enhancing Local Identity' of the Aligned Core Strategy 2014 and Saved Policies H7 'Residential Development on unidentified sites within the Urban Area and the Defined Village Boundaries' and ENV1 'Development Criteria' of the Gedling Borough Council Replacement Local Plan.  The proposed development would also fail to accord with paragraph 63 of the National PPF which seeks to ensure that new development is of good design.

2.       In the opinion of the Borough Council, by reason of the scale and bulk of the proposed bungalow on elevated land and the proximity to neighbouring residential amenity, the proposed development would result in an undue overbearing and overshadowing impact on no.9 Grenville Rise. The proposal would therefore be contrary to the aims of Policy ENV1 of the Gedling Borough Council Replacement Local Plan (Certain Policies Saved 2014).
