An application has been received by Gedling Borough Council from Mr. Adam Jones of Peter Philip Developments Limited acting as agents on behalf of A&B enterprise’s Ltd., Second Floor, 18 The Ropewalk, Nottingham, NG1 5DT to build four new dwellings on land adjacent to 1 Ernest Road, Carlton, Nottingham, NG4 1JU currently occupied by garages.
The application states the proposed development or works as ‘Demolition of Existing Garages and Erection of New Build comprising of 2 x 1 Bed Units & 2 x 2 Bed Units’
The planning application advises that there will be four houses for market housing consisting of 2 X 1 bedroom properties and 2 X 2 bedroom properties including four car parking spaces.
A Design and Access statement provided in support of a full planning application advises that the current use of the site is as 13 garages. However, as all the homes in the area have driveways and typically private garages or on street parking nor do they own the units the garages are mostly vacant or used as old storage for the applicant. They further suggest that the garages are detrimental to the surrounding area as they induce crime, unwelcome dwellers & reduce the value of the adjacent homes whilst being non-utilitarian, unattractive & ugly.
The Design and Access statement further advises that 2 of the dwellings will be bungalows and can be made suitable for elderly residents, if required. The other two units are split in the stepped terraced element at South-west side of the site. This will allow for the ridge heights to be matched or lower than the existing but still have an attractive appearance. The proposed plot sizes are as follows; Plot 1 – 72sqm – 2 Bed – 3 Persons, Plot 2 – 80sqm – 2 Bed – 3 Persons, Plot 3 – 50sqm – 2 Bed – 2 Persons and Plot 4 – 50sqm – 2 Bed – 2 Persons.
