Minutes:

The Committee considered the report of the Business Manager – Planning Development, which sought planning permission for the erection of an extension to the existing warehouse/distribution centre to create additional floor space for B8 use (storage and distribution), parking and associated works.

 

Members considered the presentation from the Senior Planning Officer, which included photographs and plans of the proposed development.

 

A schedule of communication was tabled at the meeting which detailed correspondence received after the Agenda was published from a Neighbouring Party; the Agent; Nottinghamshire County Council Highways; and the Planning Case Officer.

 

The Senior Planning Officer informed Members of a proposed amendment to Condition 7 and 13 if the Committee were minded to approve the application, as follows.  The Officer recommendation was amended to approval subject to the conditions outlined and also a legal agreement securing monitoring fees for the Travel Plan and compliance with the Traffic Management Plan.

 

Condition 7

The development hereby approved shall not be brought into use until the mitigation measures included within the Noise Assessment by wsp – 70069516-001/R01 dated May 2020, have been fully installed on site. For the avoidance of doubt this includes:

 

·       A 20 metre length of 2.5m high acoustic fence/barrier along the Western site boundary joining the existing barrier at its Northern extent

·       A 50 metre length of 2.5m high acoustic fence/barrier along the Western site boundary adjacent to the site access road effectively extending the existing screening to the South.

 

The measures shall thereafter be retained for the operational lifetime of the development.

Reason: To protect neighbouring amenity.

 

Condition 13

Notwithstanding the submitted details within Initial Travel Plan by TTHC – M19136-03C TP dated October 2020, no part of the development hereby permitted shall be occupied until a Travel Plan has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The Travel Plan shall set out proposals (including targets, a timetable and enforcement mechanism) to promote travel by sustainable modes and shall include arrangements for monitoring of progress of the proposals. The approved Travel Plan shall be implemented in accordance with the timetable set out in that plan.

Reason: To promote sustainable travel.

 

Members considered the application and it was commented that the structure currently dominated the area off the A617 and the proposed development would result in added visual harm by virtue of its sheer scale and massing.  Policy DM8 was quoted and it was felt that the development was not proportionate in the countryside, was unsuitable as this area was not an industrial site.  The A617 was already heavily used with the narrow congested Kelham Bridge.  The impact from this development on the surrounding local residents should be taken into account, including overshadowing from this business.  HGV’s were currently parking outside residential properties waiting for delivery/collection times and residents were also experiencing noise nuisance and littering from the HGV’s.  It was commented that the development should be on an industrial estate with better road networks.  Members also felt that as the application  ...  view the full minutes text for item 293.

1 Barrel Hill Road, Sutton-On-Trent - 20/02132/FUL pdf icon PDF 504 KB

Minutes:

The Committee considered the report of the Business Manager – Planning Development, which sought planning permission for the change of use of a (C3a) Dwelling to a Children's Care Home (C2) for three children, demolition of garage and associated external alterations to create on-site parking and turning areas.

 

Members considered the presentation from the Senior Planning Officer, which included photographs and plans of the proposed development.

 

Members considered the application and it was commented that there was very little difference in terms of numbers of children and carers to that of a residential property.  It was suggested that the car parking area could be grassed with a membrane in order for it to be used as a play area when not being used for car parking.

 

AGREED           (unanimous) that planning permission be approved subject to the                          conditions and reasons contained within the report.

Enforcement Report - 20/00473/ENFB

Minutes:

The exempt report was withdrawn from the agenda as the land owner had submitted a planning application for the change of use.  Given the change in circumstances it would be inappropriate to take enforcement action and the application would be considered and determined through the usual planning process.
