Site Adjacent Goldcrest Lane and Skylark Way, Clipstone 20/00772/FUL pdf icon PDF 771 KB

Minutes:

The Committee considered the report of the Business Manager – Planning Development, which sought planning permission for residential development of nine bungalows.

 

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 local neighbours.

 

Councillor M Brown – Local Ward Member (Edwinstowe and Clipstone) spoke against the application on the grounds of no amenities and facilities for the residents of the estate, which had been proposed at the start of the development but never came to fruition. The small parcel of land was considered too small for the proposed nine bungalows in an already high density estate.

 

Members considered the application and it was commented that there was no evidence provided in the report that the developer had undertaken a marketing exercise regarding the early year’s provision.  Members also felt that the site was tight for the proposed nine bungalows, but were advised that the number of dwellings had been reduced from ten bungalows to nine to allow for car parking.  It was also confirmed that the density of the site accorded with the Council’s local plan.

 

AGREED           (with 10 votes For, 3 votes Against and 1 abstention) that planning                      permission be approved subject to:

 

(a)        the conditions and reasons contained in the report; and

(b)        a variation to the existing S106 legal agreement to remove the                             requirement to provide a children’s nursery and to secure a                                   commuted sum of £13,841 plus indexation and ensure the                                          existing community facilities contributions are used towards                               the refurbishment of the Clipstone Welfare building.

Bridgefield Farm, Wigsley Road, Thorney Moor 20/00054/FULM pdf icon PDF 670 KB

Minutes:

The Committee considered the report of the Business Manager – Planning Development, which sought retrospective planning permission for the retention of mobile poultry units and access drive.

 

Members considered the presentation from the Business Manager - Planning Development, 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 the following: Neighbouring Parties; Parish Council; and Local Planning Authority Independent consultant.  Members were also informed that Historic England had informed the Local Planning Authority before the meeting that they had no objection.

 

The Business Manager - Planning Development requested that an additional informative be added to the conditions, if the Committee were minded to approve the application, as follows:

 

Condition 8

The applicant should avoid arranging all of the arks in a single long row (e.g. a long row running south to north) as it may result in some “accumulations” of downwind odours if the wind picks up odours over a long fetch path of arks.

 

Members considered the application and concern was raised regarding the smell which was being emitted from the premises and the nuisance to residents of neighbouring properties.  It was commented that a lot of Members concerns were environmental issues and not material planning matters.  It was commented that the Council had commissioned an independent report from the RSK, who had confirmed that the odour emissions were acceptable.  For this reason Thorney Parish Council had removed their objection. 

 

(Councillor M Skinner left the meeting during the debate).

 

AGREED             (with 8 votes For, 4 votes Against and 1 abstention) that full planning                   permission be approved subject to the conditions and reasons                                  contained in the report and the amendment to condition 8 as outlined                          in the above minute.

Land at Healey Close, Collingham 20/01481/FUL pdf icon PDF 739 KB

Minutes:

The Committee considered the report of the Business Manager – Planning Development, which sought planning permission for one, one-bed unit and associated landscaping and parking.

 

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

 

Councillor M Davies on behalf of Collingham Parish Council spoke against the application, in accordance with the views of Collingham Parish Council, as contained within the report.

 

Members considered the application and felt that the proposed house was not in keeping with the street scene and neighbouring properties as this plot of land was surrounded by bungalows.  Members requested that the application be deferred in order for Officers to consider the possibility of a bungalow on site, utilising the whole site, whilst also retaining the additional six car parking spaces.

 

Councillor M Skinner entered the meeting during the debate and took no part in the vote.

 

AGREED             (unanimously) that the application be deferred in order for Officers to                       explore whether a single storey dwelling was possible, still retaining the                     six car parking spaces.
