Construction of two storey 5 bed detached dwelling at The Bungalow, Station Road, Pilsley.

(Planning Manager – Development Management)

With the agreement of the Chair, Item 7 - NED/24/00521/FL – PILSLEY, was taken next.

The report to Committee explained that an Application had been submitted for the construction of a two storey 5 bed detached dwelling at The Bungalow, Station Road, Pilsley. The Application had been referred to committee by Local Ward Member, Councillor A Cooper, who had raised some concerns about it.

Planning Committee was recommended to approve the Application. The report to Committee explained the reasons for this.

Officers felt that the proposal, being a 5-bed dwelling, fits well with the planning policies aimed at supporting development within settlements. The report suggested that the design of the proposal fits into the existing street scene and secured the privacy and amenity of neighbouring properties. In this context, Officers considered that the proposal meets the guidelines contained within the Council’s Successful Places Guidance. Whereas issues such as access to services were seen as private legal matters between landowners.

Officers concluded that the proposal meets the requirements of the policies of the North East Derbyshire Local Plan. They recommended, therefore, that the application be approved, subject to conditions and legal agreement.

Before the Committee considered the application it heard from Local Ward Member, Councillor A Cooper, L Booth and K Goodwin who spoke against the Application. It also heard from the Applicant, P Hartill.

Committee considered the application. It took into account the type of occupancy being applied for and its location on a narrow access track. It considered the relevant Local and National Planning Policies. These included Local Plan Policy SS7 concerning development within the settlement development limits, and Local Plan Policy SDC12 concerning high quality design and place making.

Members discussed the application. Committee welcomed the proposal being on a vacant site within the Pilsley settlement development limits. Some Members questioned the impact of the building works on the neighbouring properties using the access Lane, it was felt that conditions limiting the hours in which works could take place would be sufficient to address this. Some Members felt the proposal lacked adequate parking provisions but understood that it would take a fresh application to address this issue.

At the conclusion of the discussion Councillor D Hancock and Councillor S Clough moved and seconded a Motion to approve the Application. The motion was put to a vote and agreed.

RESOLVED –

That the Application be approved, in line with Officer recommendations.

That the final wording of the conditions and legal agreement be delegated to the Planning Manager (Development Management).
