17Dr Holland an Objector and Mr Gill the applicant spoke on the application.

The Head of Planning and Environment also reported the receipt of 2 additional representations being a petition in support of the application and a letter in support of the application from the occupier of 4 Karen Rise.
23The Head of Planning and Environment reported that Planning permission for the above development had been refused on 4th August, 2004 on the grounds that it was an inappropriate development within the Green Belt, and would be severely injurious to the openness of the Green Belt.

An appeal against this decison had subsequently been lodged with the Planning Inspectorate.

This appeal had been Dismissed. In reaching this decision, the Inspector had concluded that the proposal would represent inappropriate development within the Green Belt, and that there were no very special circunstances sufficient to outweigh the harm to the Green Belt.
24The Head of Planning and Environment reported that planning permission for the above development had been refused on 27th August, 2004 on the grounds that it was not in keeping with the scale and character of the dwelling to be extended and its wider setting.

An appeal against this decision had subsequently lodged with the Planning Inspectorate.

The appeal has been dismissed.
25The Head of Planning and Environment reported that planning permission for the above development had been refused on 20th October, 2004 on the grounds that the proposed development would result in overdevelopment of the site, and an unacceptable form of backland development, which would have an adverse effect on the amenities of adjoining dwellings and the appearance of the area in general.

An appeal against this decision had subsequently lodged with the Planning Inspectorate.
26The Head of Planning and Environment reported that planning permission for the above development was refused on 1st July, 2004 on the grounds that the proposed use of the property would be seriously detrimental to the amenities of adjoining neighbours by reason of a significant increase in noise and disturbance from children at play.

An appeal against this decision had subsequently lodged with the Planning Inspectorate.

This appeal has been dismissed.
27Planning permission for the above development was refused on 9th May, 2005 on the grounds that in the opinion of the County Council as Highway Authority the proposed driveway to serve the development was too narrow for a shared use, and would lead to conflict of movement on Somersby Road to the detriment of highway safety.

An appeal against this decision had been lodged with the Planning Inspectorate, and was to be determined by written representations.
28The Head of Planning and Environment reported that in the last financial year 2004/05 the department had received 1206 planning applications.

Officer caseload had averaged 158 per officer which was just below the maximum determined to be acceptable (160 cases per officer) in the Improvement Plan submitted to the ODPM.
29The Head of Planning and Environment submitted a report that sought authorisation from the Portfolio Holder to a response to the Proposed Modifications to the draft Joint Structure Plan (JSP). Representations to the Proposed Modifications should be made by 27th May 2005.
30At the meeting of the Planning Committee on the 26th April 2005, it was resolved to support an application for Listed Building Consent to extend the existing mezzanine floor in the bar \ dining area at Lakeside, Mansfield Road, Arnold.
The Head of Planning and Environment reported that it had been necessary to refer the above application to the Secretary of State. On 25th of May 2005 the Secretary of State had advised that he did not intend to require the application to be referred to him and Listed Building Consent was therefore granted on the 27th of May 2005.
