Broxtowe Council's Planning Committee is scheduled to meet on Wednesday 8 October 2025 to discuss several planning applications, including a proposed change of use for a residential property, the construction of a detached dwelling, and variations to previously approved conditions for a housing development. The committee will also be updated on recent planning appeals, delegated decisions, and enforcement actions.

Land East of Coventry Lane, Bramcote

The committee is scheduled to discuss a request to vary several conditions relating to planning permission 22/00967/FUL for land east of Coventry Lane in Bramcote. The applicant, Miller Homes, wants to vary conditions relating to approved plans, materials, piling, the Construction Management Plan (CMP), archaeology, play equipment details, the Landscape and Ecology Management Plan (LEMP), a Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP), and a badger survey.

According to the report pack, the application is a result of Avant, the original housebuilders, pulling out of the site, leaving Miller Homes and St Modwen Homes to take over the whole site. This has led to a change of house types and some minor changes to the layout, requiring a change to the approved plans.

The report pack notes that Councillors David K Watts, Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group and Councillor Stephen J Carr requested that this application be brought before the committee, due to public interest in the scheme, particularly regarding drainage proposals.

The report pack states that five responses were received from neighbours, with concerns raised about surface water, the retention of hedges along Moor Lane, noise, dust, pollution, the location of compound areas, the filling in of a historic pond, and the management of invasive species.

79 Peveril Road, Beeston

The Planning Committee is scheduled to discuss a planning application for a proposed change of use at 79 Peveril Road, Beeston. The application, 25/00457/FUL, seeks permission to change the use of the property from a residential dwelling (Class C3¹) to a residential care home (Class C2²) for up to two children.

The report pack states that Councillor Stephen J Carr requested that this application be brought before the committee, due to concerns regarding parking in the area. The report pack also notes that Nottinghamshire County Council Highways Authority is investigating parking issues in the area.

The application includes several supporting documents, including a bike storage plan, care management plan, missing person protocol, noise and antisocial behaviour plan, parking plan and security statement. The residential children's home will be for up to two children aged between 8 and 16 years with emotional and behavioural difficulties, and there will be two staff members present at all times.

The report pack notes that four objections were received from neighbours, with concerns raised about the loss of family homes, increased traffic, parking issues, and the suitability of care homes in residential areas.

Land to the north of 25 Nether Green, Eastwood

The committee is scheduled to discuss planning application 25/00540/FUL for the construction of a detached dwelling on land to the north of 25 Nether Green, Eastwood. The application seeks full planning permission to construct a two-storey, two-bedroom dwelling within the garden area of the existing property. The proposal includes altering the existing access and creating four parking spaces.

The report pack states that Councillor Radulovic requested that this application be brought before the committee.

The proposed dwelling would be located to the north-east of the plot, behind Brinsley Brook, with access via a wooden pedestrian bridge. The dwelling would be constructed using imperial handmade rustic red clay bricks and grey roof tiles. The application has been submitted as a self-build project, which means it is exempt from Biodiversity Net Gain³ requirements.

The site lies within the Nottinghamshire Green Belt, and the report pack notes that Policy 8 of the Part 2 Local Plan states that applications for development in the Green Belt will be determined in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). The report pack states that the Local Planning Authority considers a dwelling in the garden area as inappropriate development in the Green Belt.

Planning Appeals

The committee is scheduled to note the decisions in four planning appeals. These include:

• An appeal against the refusal of planning permission for the change of use of land to open storage and siting of storage containers and skips at Works Bailey Street, Stapleford. The planning inspector allowed the appeal.
• An appeal against the refusal of advertisement consent for the erection of a freestanding D-Poster LED advertisement on Derby Road, Stapleford. The planning inspector dismissed the appeal.
• An appeal against the refusal of planning permission for a double storey side extension at 18 Garton Close, Chilwell. The planning inspector allowed the appeal.
• An appeal against the refusal of planning permission to construct 29 apartments with associated parking and landscaping at Riverside Close, Riverside Road, Beeston. The planning inspector dismissed the appeal.

Delegated Decisions

The committee is scheduled to review a schedule of planning applications that have been determined by officers under delegated powers between 25 August 2025 and 19 September 2025.

Enforcement Update

The committee will receive an update on the Planning Enforcement Service. The report pack notes that in 2024, 408 enforcement complaints were received, and that 372 enforcement complaints have been received so far in 2025. As of the time of writing the report, there are 228 open enforcement cases. The report pack also notes that planning applications associated with enforcement cases generated £21,501.00 in fees in 2024.

The committee is also scheduled to discuss enforcement updates relating to Kimberley Brewery and Sandy Lane, but the details of these discussions are exempt from publication.
