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

A further 10 objections had been received from residents. They had raised concerns regarding the following:

•      Two units is insufficient and a larger store/pub should be provided.

•      Location of retail units will attract anti-social behaviour.

•      Insufficient parking provision for the two retail units.

•      Misrepresentation about the provision of facilities.

•      Questions over how many stores and chains were approached.

•      More traffic will be bought onto Watnall Road.

•      Insufficient infrastructure to accommodate the development.

•      The original plan showed the retail provision elsewhere on site to benefit residents on the new estate and existing residents further afield.

•      Density of housing across the development is too high.

•      The consultation process was insufficient.

In response, officers advised that the points raised were covered within the report. The Applicant had submitted marketing evidence showing a number of chains were approached and no national operators could be secured. The Highways Authority have also noted that the location within the scheme and off the round-about was preferable from a safety perspective being at the heart of the development for residents.  The number of dwellings remained within the number approved under the outline consent and substantial S106 contributions had been received toward infrastructure.

The consultation process had been undertaken in accordance with legislation with neighbouring residents adjoining the site being consulted, along with a site notice and a press notice giving 21 days to make their comments.
