PLANNING APPROVED: Planners give green light for five new build properties to rear of Scotgrave Farmhouse in Gedling

Plans to construct five dwellings to the rear of Scotgrave Farmhouse, Arnold Lane, Gedling, NG4 4HF have been granted conditional permission following consideration by Gedling Borough Council planners.

The application submitted by MNCN Architecture Limited acting as agent on behalf of Darley Developments Limited of London was formally granted permission in a decision notice dated May 31, 2024.

The proposed development includes the demolition of existing out-buildings and the construction of four semi-detached two storey residential dwellings with associated out-buildings (garages) as well as hard and soft landscaping areas and one detached bungalow.

Four objections were received by adjoining neighbours during the consultation period which included:

The impact of the building a boundary fence above the existing boundary wall,
with a total height of approximately 2.13 metres and whether this wall would
structurally be able to support this.
Increase in noise with cars and outdoor activity
The proposed development would give neighbours the feeling of being boxed
in and would have an overbearing impact.
The driveway is too narrow with insufficient room for delivery vehicles and for
vehicles to turn to enter and leave the site in a forward gear.
The access is likely to represent a highway safety issue with cars speeding on
Arnold Lane.
Should plans be agreed despite objections, working hours should be restricted
including no work on weekends, no radios, no shouting or foul language.
Impact on the mental health of nearby residents.
There have been vehicle accidents on Arnold Lane since the previous
approval so the highway safety situation has changed since the previous
application was determined.
The site is too small for this many houses.
Potential for debris in gardens.

A letter recommending the granting of conditional planning permission dated May 23, 2024 and authorised by Service Manager Development Services / Principal Planning Officer on May 31, 2024 stated that ‘Initially the Local Highway Authority raised concerns about the proposed development, particularly in relation to the width of the shared driveway, visibility splays and space for turning on the site. However, the proposal has now been amended to address these concerns, with the exception of there being more than 5 dwellings accessed from a private drive. The Local Highway Authority have now raised no objections.’

The proposal includes tarmacadam vehicle access with block paved driveways with the proposed number of on-site parking spaces including existing totalling 12.

A prior planning application in 2019 to erect four detached properties (application no. 2019/0852) was granted conditional permission on January 16, 2020 however the development was not proceeded with.

Morrisons in Netherfield offering shoppers ‘free’ cardboard boxes at tills after ‘listening to customers’

Supermarket giant Morrisons is reintroducing free cardboard crates as an alternative to the supermarket’s traditional plastic bag – or for customers who may have forgotten their own bag.

The retailer said the scheme, which is available in their Netherfield store, gives a second life to boxes that would otherwise have been recycled and comes in response to a survey where 67% of customers called for the return of the initiative.

Cardboard boxes have always been available at Morrisons stores for customers that ask, but the new move makes them more visible as a reminder for customers that may have forgotten their bag and more accessible as they are handily at all checkouts.

Morrisons customer insight director Jen Price said: “We’re continuing to make it easier for customers to shop with us so are really pleased to be bringing back our free cardboard boxes at the checkout as customers told us it was a much loved initiative”.

It is the latest initiative Morrisons has introduced in recent months to win back shoppers as part of CEO Rami Baitiéh transformation plan amid his pledges to “refresh” the grocer.

Earlier this year, the grocer introduced child-sized mini trolleys in a bid to make the shopping experience more enjoyable for younger shoppers, and in April, Morrisons extended its Quiet Hours to give customers more opportunities to experience a calmer shopping experience.

Explained: Why constituency boundaries have been changed in Gedling for the forthcoming General Election

Some voters in parts of Gedling borough will fall under a new constituency in just over five weeks’ time.

Polling day on July 4 will be the first time that Bestwood Village, Lambley and Woodborough become part of the Gedling constituency boundary.

The villages have moved across from Sherwood – which has been reduced in size and will now be renamed Sherwood Forest.

Why have the boundaries changed?

In June 2023, the Boundary Commission made final recommendations to government over changes to constituency boundaries.

As part of a periodical review of the 650 constituencies in the UK, it looked at whether some seats needed to be reduced in size, increased in size or abolished altogether.

Among the recommendations was to introduce a make Sherwood smaller and enlarge the Gedling boundary.

At the time, Tim Bowden, secretary of the Boundary Commission, said the proposals were made following extensive consultation.

He added that the move to change the boundaries was made to “best to reflect local community ties”.

The changes, which include retaining a total of 650 constituencies across the UK, see each seat contain no less than 69,724 voters and no more than 77,062.

Who will be contesting the seat?

It’s early days in the election campaign, but the following candidates have already been announced for the seat.

Current Gedling MP, Tom Randall, will try to hang on to the constituency for the Conservatives.

Meanwhile, Labour will field Michael Payne as its candidate Tad Jones will stand for the Liberal Democrats in the constituency, Dominic Berry will fight votes for the Greens and Simon Rood will represent Reform.
