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:-

An update was required to the approved plans condition (2) to include the latest revisions of two plans taking into account slight design changes for moving the white electricity boxes from prominent positions.

An additional letter of objection had also been received from a neighbouring resident detailing that:

·         The S106 contribution offered was unacceptable and the full contribution should be sought;

·         There was a likelihood for future housing development on the Fire Station and this would set the precedent;

·         Another set of development traffic should not be feeding onto Watnall Road;

·         Affordable housing would not fit in with the local community;

·         There was ample other housing developments within Hucknall;

·         A disagreement over the Air Quality report findings.

Officer Reponses

The issues of Section 106 contributions and highways safety had been covered within the report.  The Council could not demonstrate a 5-year land supply and there was a strong requirement for affordable housing in the District.

Each future application would be determined on its own individual merits and the application was supported by an Air Quality Assessment. This did not predict any exceedances of the air quality objectives and concluded that emissions from vehicles using the site would not be significant. The Council’s Environmental Health Officers found this to be acceptable and raised no objections.
