An application received by Gedling Borough Council from Planning and Design Group (UK) Limited, Nottingham acting as agents on behalf of Mr. Adrian Bellingham to build two new dwellings on land at 46 Roe Hill, Woodborough, NG14 6DS has been refused.
The application stated that the proposed development would consist of one four bedroom property for market housing and one property described as self build / custom build.
The notice of refusal dated February 2 states that permission was refused for the following reason: ‘The proposal would result in 2 no. narrow plots, containing 2 no. narrow dwellings with little space between each dwelling making them appeared cramped within their plots. This is in contrast to other properties along Roe Hill which are all relatively wide dwellings, located on relatively wide plots. Furthermore, the height of the proposal, in particular plot 46A, does not follow the stepped height of the existing row of dwellings on Roe Hill and, as such, will dominate the existing row of dwellings and appear as an incongruous building within the streetscene. For these reasons the proposal is contrary to policies ACS10 and LPD40a)1.’
A covering letter provided in support of the application from the Planning and Design Group advised that the application site comprised approximately 653sqm of undeveloped grassland at Roe Hill, Woodborough, NG14 6DS and that the site is located between two detached dwellings that are also characterised by this identified pattern of development. 48 Roe Hill, to the north side, is a detached dormer bungalow. 44 Roe Hill, to the south, is a two-storey detached dwelling.
The covering letter also stated that application sought full planning permission for the erection of two detached dwellings, each with associated access, refuse storage and amenity space. Each dwelling, individually designed but complementary in design language, is two and a half storeys in height with four bedrooms. A single garage for each dwelling, with additional off-road parking for two vehicles, is also proposed.
