It is also considered that the proposed development will result in no undue impact on the amenity of adjacent properties or on highway safety. The proposal therefore accords with Policy 3, Policy 10 of the Aligned Core Strategy 2014, Policy LPD13, LPD19, LPD32, LPD35, LPD 57 and LPD 61 of the Local Planning Document 2018, Policies 2, 3 & 7 of the Papplewick Neighbourhood Plan as well as the Policies contained within the National Planning Policy Framework (2019) and Policy SPZ 3 of the Greater Nottinghamshire Landscape Character Assessment.

Notes to Applicant

Planning 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 attached permission is for development which will involve building up to, or close to, the boundary of the site.  Your attention is drawn to the fact that if you should need access to neighbouring land in another ownership in order to facilitate the construction of the building and its future maintenance you are advised to obtain permission from the owner of the land for such access before beginning your development.

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.

If any coal mining feature is encountered during development, this should be reported immediately to The Coal Authority on 0845 762 6848.
