RESOLVED

that the minutes of the meeting of the Planning Committee held on 20^th September, 2018 be received and approved as a correct record.

RESOLVED that

1.    Application V/2018/0150, Persimmon Homes Nottingham and Muse Developments Ltd, Application for Approval of Reserved Matters following Outline Approval V/2013/0123 - Proposed Erection of 120 Dwellings and Associated Infrastructure including Access and Landscaping, Land at Rolls Royce, Watnall Road, Hucknall

Mr. C. Gowlett, as agent for the Applicant, took the opportunity to address the Committee in respect of this matter.

In accordance with the Council’s Policy for dealing with late matters in relation to planning applications (Minute No. D4.17, 1993/94 refers), the Assistant Director for Planning and Regulatory Services proceeded to give a verbal report as to additional comments received in relation to the application as follows:-

Three additional objections had been received from local residents raising the following points :-

·         Loss of local centre / community facilities will cause increased travel & traffic as too far to walk to other facilities.

·         The developers were misleading stating the facilities would be built and if not on this phase, they should be provided elsewhere on the site, or space left vacant for future provision.

·         No community hub = no community.   More houses are not required.

·         An up to date feasibility study into commercial demand should be undertaken.

These issues reflect those detailed in the main report. The lack of the provision of the local centre is also discussed and the Applicant’s case bolstered by a marketing report by HEB surveyors and a detailed breakdown of their commitment thus far to the provision of various community benefits on the site.

Re-wording of Conditional Matters:

·         Condition 14 -  requiring the scheme submission and implementation as agreed.

Prior to the occupation of Plots 88 to 100 inclusive, an appropriate off-site traffic management scheme, to protect against the indiscriminate parking on Watnall Street / main development spine road, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority and the approved scheme be implemented.  Please refer to the Traffic Regulation Informative below.

·         Condition 19 – all drives and parking areas to be hard surfaced.

No part of the development hereby permitted shall be brought into use until all drives and any parking or turning areas are surfaced in a hard bound material (not loose gravel). for a minimum of 6 metres or less as detailed on the approved site layout, behind the highway boundary.  The surfaced drives and any parking or turning areas shall then be maintained in such hardbound material for the life of the development.

It was moved by Councillor Chris Baron and seconded by Councillor Phil Rostance that the recommendation contained within the report be rejected and that planning consent be refused for the reasons set out below:-
