1. 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 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 additional three letters of objection had been received from local residents. The objections raised no new planning issues that had not been covered in the report. It suggested that not all residents had been consulted on the application and the timing of the meeting prevented members of the local community attending and speaking.
Officer Response
As stated at the last Committee the consultation was carried out in accordance with the relevant legislation. Emails and letters had been sent out to all objectors informing them of the Committee and a local resident had registered to address Members at the meeting.
Sarah Brooke, as an objector and David Cummins, for 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.
(At this point in the proceedings, Councillor Helen-Ann Smith declared a Non-Registrable Interest in respect of this application. Her interest arose from the fact that she was a non-voting member of the Stanton Hill and Teversal Neighbourhood Forum.)
It was moved and seconded that conditional consent be granted as per
officer’s recommendation.
The meeting was adjourned at 10.53am and reconvened at 11.02am.
Due to the Committee Chairman, Councillor Sarah Madigan, being taken unwell following determination of the first application, the Vice-Chairman Councillor Andy Meakin duly took control of proceedings.

proceeded to give a verbal report as to additional comments received in
relation to the application as follows:-
The applicant’s agent wished to clarify some matters:
· The new access met the Highway Authority requirements and the first 5m would be surfaced with a hard bound material, the remainder would be crushed stone.
· The site was lower than Fackley Road and the new access drive would not be lit, so would be discrete.
· The suggested conditions requiring further planting to reduce visible harm and restricting occupancy were acceptable.
· Signage would be minimal and subject to advert regulations.
· The Neighbourhood Forum had met with the agent on site to go through the application.
· The site was not within any of the locally important gaps highlighted in Policy NP4 of the Neighbourhood Plan.

officer’s recommendation.
