This application was submitted solely for approval of reserved matters which included scale, layout, appearance and landscaping.

 

Committee considered the application having regard to the Bolsover District Local Plan, the emerging Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.

 

Members discussed concerns relating to the potential overlooking of plots 30 and 31 and the potential impact on the amenity of neighbouring properties to this part of the development. Plots 31 and 32 were proposed to be 2.5 storeys.

 

It was proposed that any approval of the application be contingent upon these plots being replaced with 2 storey equivalent dwellings.
