The access road shall be implemented in accordance with these details to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority.

 

Reasons

 2         For the avoidance of doubt.

 

 3         To ensure an adequate form of access arrangement is provided in the interests of highway safety

Reasons for Decision

 

The development has been considered in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework, the Aligned Core Strategy for Gedling Borough (September 2014) The Gedling Borough Replacement Local Plan (Certain Policies Saved 2014), and the Local Planning Document Part 2 where appropriate.  In the opinion of the Borough Council, the proposed development largely accords with the relevant policies of these frameworks and plans.  Where the development conflicts with the Development Plan, it is the opinion of the Borough Council that other material considerations indicate that permission should be granted.  The benefits of granting the proposal outweigh any adverse impact of departing from the Development Plan.

 

Notes to Applicant

 

In order to carry out the off-site works required you will be undertaking work in the public highway which is land subject to the provisions of the Highways Act 1980 (as amended) and therefore land over which you have no control. In order to undertake the works you will need to enter into an agreement under Section 278 of the Act

Minutes:

Erection of single storey extensions to the side and rear, installation of canopies, external alterations and buggy store to front, in conjunction with use as a day nursery.

 

Mr Robin Batten, the applicant, spoke in support of the application.

 

Mrs Leanne Banks, a local resident, spoke against the application.

 

The Service Manager – Development Services informed members that further to the publication of the report a revised first floor plan had been submitted, detailing 10 children and revised elevations, which confirmed the precise materials to be used in the construction of the extensions.  These revisions would be included as an amendment to condition 2. 

 

RESOLVED to Grant planning permission subject to amended conditions;

 

Conditions

 

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

 

2.         This permission shall be read in accordance with the following plans/details submitted to the Local Planning Authority; email received from the applicant’s agent on 11th July, drawings 101 Rev D, 102 Rev C, 150 Rev D and 151 Rev D received on 4th  July, email received from the applicant’s agent on the 3rd  July, drawings 001 Rev C, 100 Rev B, 125 Rev B, 126 Rev C received on 15th June 2018, buggy store details received on 3rd April 2018.

 

3.         The maximum number of children on site at any time shall not exceed 75.

 

4.         The extensions shall be rendered in accordance with the approved plans prior to being brought into first use.

 

 

Reasons

 

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

 

2.         For the avoidance of doubt and to define the terms of this permission.

 

3.         To ensure that the number of children permitted at the property is not increased, in the interests of the residential amenities of adjacent occupiers and to ensure that there is not a material change in the amount of vehicular activity.

 

4.         In the interests of visual amenity.

 

 

Reasons for Decision

 

The site has an existing unrestricted use within planning use class D1 and planning permission is not required to change the use of the building to operate a day nursery. Subject to a condition restricting the number of children that can attend the premises, it is not considered that the impact of the proposed development would be materially different than that which would arise from the use of the existing building, in terms of the impact upon residential amenity and highway safety. The proposal is considered to be acceptable in design terms and would not cause harm to visual amenity of the surrounding streetscene. For these reasons, the proposal would accord with the objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework, Policies A, 1, 10 and 12 of the Aligned Core Strategy, Saved Policies ENV1. T10 and C3 of the Replacement Local Plan and Policies LPD 32, LPD 57 and LPD 61 of the Local Planning Document (Part 2 Local Plan).
