Dear Ms Feast
NOTIFICATION OF PLANNING APPEAL
Construct purpose built student accommodation (sui generis) and ground floor commercial unit (Class E(g)(i)) with associated access, car parking, landscaping and infrastructure
Station Road (Central) Car Park Station Road Beeston Nottinghamshire
APPEAL REFERENCE: APP/J3015/W/22/3309040 APPEAL STARTING DATE: 11 January 2023 APPELLANT’S NAME: Cassidy Group (Beeston) Limited
I am writing to let you know that an appeal has been made to the Secretary of State in respect of the above site after refusal of the proposal by the Council for the following reason/s:
The submitted scheme, by virtue of its size and design represents an unsatisfactory development which fails to provide appropriate internal floor space and consequently the proposal would afford a substandard level of amenity for future occupiers. The proposal also fails to provide sufficient car parking for a development of this magnitude and would increase on street parking in surrounding areas. The proposed restriction of occupation to students would also fail to maximise the potential contribution to town centre footfall during non-term periods. The proposed development is therefore contrary to Policies 6 and 10 of the Broxtowe Aligned Core Strategy (2014) and Policy 17 of the Broxtowe Part 2 Local Plan (2019).
The appeal is to be decided on the basis of written representations and a site visit by an Inspector.
Any comments already made about application reference number 22/00125/FUL (unless they are expressly confidential) will be forwarded to the Planning Inspectorate and copied to the appellant and will be taken into account by the Inspector in deciding the appeal. The Inspectorate will not acknowledge representations made.
   
If you wish to comment, make any additional comments or withdraw any representations you made on the application, you must make this request to the Planning Inspectorate by 15 February 2023. Any comments received after this date will not normally be considered by the Inspector and they will be returned.
