RESOLVED

1.  Application V/2020/0884, Countryside Properties (UK) Ltd & Ashfield Limited, Demolition of 211 Alfreton Road, the Garage of 213 Alfreton Road and Garages to the Rear of 209 Alfreton Road, Construction of 110 homes with Associated Infrastructure Including a Replacement Garage to the Rear of 209 Alfreton Road, Land Rear of 211 Alfreton Road, Sutton in Ashfield

(In accordance with the Council’s Constitution and the Members’ Code of Conduct, Councillors Tom Hollis and Jason Zadrozny had previously declared Non-Registrable Interests in respect of this application. Their interests were such that they stayed in the meeting and took part in the discussion and voting thereon.)

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 local resident questions that the internal floor space of the dwellings do not meet the National Described Space Standard. 

Planning Practice Guidance is clear in stating that if an LPA “wishes to require an internal space standard, they should only do so by reference in their Local Plan. The council has not adopted the national space standards in a Local Plan Policy and therefore cannot insist on meeting these requirements.

The Council’s Residential Design Supplemental Planning Document however provides local standards and the overall gross internal floor space of each dwelling meets these standards.

In respect of gas protection measures it is suggested that permitted development rights for any future house extensions should be removed. It is considered more appropriate to attach an informative note on the decision in this regard, rather than requiring applications to be submitted to control such issues which are also assessed under building regulations.

The applicant has submitted an updated adoptable areas plan taking account changes to the path linking into the Gleeson site (ensuring this is a suitable gradient for disabled people). This will be updated in the approved plans conditions.

Barry Herrod, on behalf of the Applicant, took the opportunity to address the

Committee in respect of this matter. As per the agreed process, Members

were then offered the opportunity to clarify any points raised during the

submission as required.

It was moved and seconded that conditional consent be granted as per

officer’s recommendation.

(In accordance with the Constitution and Council Procedure Rule 18.6 [Right

to Require Individual Vote to be Recorded], Councillors Tom Hollis and

Jason Zadrozny requested their votes against the decision to be noted in the

minutes.)

The meeting was adjourned at 10.29am and reconvened at 10.31am.

2.  Application V/2020/0784, C. Rowe, Outline Application for a Residential Development, Land West Off Fisher Close, Sutton in Ashfield

(In accordance with the Council’s Constitution and the Members’ Code of Conduct, Councillor Jason Zadrozny had previously declared a Non-Registrable Interest in respect of this application. His interest was such that he stayed in the meeting and took part in the discussion and voting thereon.)
