Approval of reserved matters in relation to access, appearance, landscaping, layout and scale of the Local Centre comprising of Public House, Commercial/Retail Terrace and Children’s Day Nursery pursuant to outline planning permission 2017/0999.

The Principal Planning Officer outlined the report.  He informed Members that following discussions with the applicant’s agent and in order to aid delivery and build out of the development, a phasing plan had been provided which would allow each element of the scheme to be constructed separately. With phase 1 being the public house and access road, phase 2 the retail terrace and the final phase being the nursery.  This required an update to the conditions in the report with the phasing plan added to the approved plans at Condition 1 and Conditions 2, 3 and 4 amended to include reference to each phase.

Erection of a retail store (Class E) with associated car parking, landscaping and other infrastructure.

The Principal Planning Officer outlined the report.  He informed Members that

in relation to the local labour agreement, specifically at condition 18, the end user had indicated that they had a strict tendering process for the construction phase and as such could not give preference to local construction firms. It was therefore considered appropriate to reword condition 18 to relate to the operation of the food store as these jobs would be of a more permanent basis and accordingly the condition was reworded to include the operational phase.

Reasons for Decision

It is considered, given the single storey nature, design, location and relationship with adjoining properties, the proposed development would be visually acceptable in the street scene and in keeping with the character of the host dwelling and the wider area and would result in no significant undue impact on neighbouring residential amenity or the locality in general. The development therefore complies with the National Planning Policy Framework, Policy 10 of the Gedling Borough Aligned Core Strategy (2014), and policies LPD 32 and LPD 43 of the Local Planning Document.

Notes to Applicant

Positive and Proactive 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 is advised that all planning permissions granted on or after 16th October 2015 may be subject to the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). Full details of CIL are available on the Council's website at www.gedling.gov.uk.  The proposed development has been assessed and it is the Council's view that CIL is not payable on the development hereby approved as the gross internal area of new build is less 100 square metres

The proposed development lies within a coal mining area which may contain unrecorded coal mining related hazards. If any coal mining feature is encountered during development, this should be reported immediately to The Coal Authority on 0845 762   6848.
