Outline planning application for residential development for up to 120 dwellings and associated development (including public open space, engineering works, drainage, internal roads, paths and parking) with all matters reserved excluding access.

Helen Ashworth of Northern Trust, the applicant, spoke in support of the application.

The Principal Planning Officer informed Members of some minor amendments to the conditions within the report to reflect that the development could come forward in a phased manner.  This would impact conditions 12, 13 and 20 with reference to ‘phase by phase’ inserted into conditions 12 and 13 and ‘within the relevant phase’ to condition 20.

At condition 3, the list of approved drawings should also be amended in respect of the Design and Access Statement in that it should read ‘The submission of reserved matters shall also have regard to the design principles set out in the Design and Access Statement’.

In addition, condition 7 should have the phrase ‘necessary to serve that dwelling’ inserted to ensure that the drive to serve the particular dwelling is in situ rather than all drives.

In all other respects, the conditions were intended to remain as drafted.

Diversion of Calverton Footpath No. 39 for 90m (as per drawing ref CA-FD-01).

The Principal Planning Officer clarified that there was a minor error in the report in that the last sentence of paragraph 1.1, page 66 and the first sentence of paragraph 5.1, page 67 should be amended so that reference to Section 275(1A) referred to it being the power to divert a footpath where an application for planning permission has been made and, if the application were granted, it would be necessary to authorise the diversion in order to enable development to be carried out, rather than it being necessary to enable development to be carried out in accordance with a valid planning permission.

RESOLVED:

That Members authorise the Director of Organisational Development and Democratic Services to make an order under s257(1A) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) to divert Calverton Footpath No. 39 for a distance of 90m as per drawing ref CA-FD-01, carry out the procedure under Schedule 14 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 for confirmation of the order and, following consultation and publication, to confirm the order if there are no outstanding objections to the order.  However, if there are outstanding objections, the matter be referred to the Secretary of State for determination.

Replace existing rooflights with 3no. dormer windows.

The Assistant Director of Planning and Regeneration introduced the report and advised Members that further to the publication of the report, the applicant had provided the following summarised comments:

·         There would be little visibility of the site from the surrounding area as the hedges along the boundary are high. Trees have also been planted along the rear and northern boundary which, once mature, will make the bungalow invisible in the landscape.

·         It is considered that the dormer windows would improve the current roof lines and will blend into the existing tiles and would allow the occupiers to have a more practical use of the internal space.

·         The bungalow has been extended by 55% but original bungalow was very small and the loft space is not as large as it looks due to the roof angle and low ridge height. 

·         The existing front dormer window on the property was relocated during construction due to a ridgeline change.

·         The garage was constructed under permitted development.

·         The Committee should approve the application, or allow further dialogue with the planning department as the concerns raised are unwarranted.

The Assistant Director of Planning and Regeneration recommended that permission was refused in accordance with the report, following the expiry of the statutory press notice and subject to no further material considerations being raised.

RESOLVED:

TO REFUSE planning permission for the following reason;

1          The proposed dormer windows would result in cumulative disproportionate additions to the building and would therefore represent inappropriate development, which is by definition, harmful to the Green Belt. The proposed development would cumulatively result in an increase in floorspace to the building of 74% which would be harmful to the openness of the Green Belt. The proposal would also be unduly prominent from the surrounding countryside through the cumulative increase in bulk and scale of the building. There are no very circumstances that would outweigh this harm. The development would therefore be contrary to Section 13 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2019) Policy 3 of Gedling Borough Council Aligned Core Strategy (2014) and Gedling Borough Council Local Planning Document Policy 13 (2018).
