Two side extensions at Moss Cottage, 27 Church Lane, Cossall

“Purpose of the Report 1.1 The application seeks planning permission for a single storey side extension to the west elevation to form a garage and a single storey side extension to the east elevation. 2. Recommendation The Committee is asked to RESOLVE that planning permission be refused for the reasons outlined in the appendix. 3.”

“The site is located in a residential area within the Nottinghamshire Green Belt. Directly to the rear, there is 29’s rear garden. Directly adjacent to the site, to the east and west are located 25 (Glebe farm Cottage) and 29 (The Manor House) Church Lane respectively. To the north are located 40 Church Lane (Chestnut Croft) and 8 Willoughby Almhouses.”

“The application property has had planning permission for a two storey rear extension (10/00698/FUL). According to our records, this planning permission has been implemented.”

“Green Belt The application site is situated within the Green Belt and therefore the principle of development is subject to whether or not it complies with local and national Green Belt policy. Broxtowe’s Part 2 Local Plan (2019) Policy 8 states that development in the Green Belt will be determined in accordance with the NPPF.”

“The volume calculations included as a part of previous extensions amount to 123m³ which represents an increase of 37%. The proposed extension would add 123.28m³, bringing the total volume addition to the original dwelling to 214.7m³, which represents an increase of 64.76% to the original volume.”

“Design 6.2.1 The proposed single storey extensions would have a traditional design. The roof style is considered to match the style of the original dwelling and the existing two storey rear extension as they are gables. It is considered that the extensions achieve an acceptable level of design and will not result in a negative impact on the character of the existing property or the street scene.”

“The proposed development is of an acceptable design and would provide additional living space and a garage to the benefit of the residents. Neighbour amenity has been assessed and is considered that there would be no significant impact. However, the proposal represents a disproportionate addition to the original dwelling that is harmful to the Green Belt.”

“The Council’s Conservation Adviser was consulted on this application and raised no objections to the proposed development. The Conservation Adviser recommends the following condition: The new timber garage door facing the front elevation must be natural timber Reason: to preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area streetscene.”

“Three neighbouring properties were consulted on the application and a site notice was placed on 12 February 2026 near the application site. One response was received raising no objections to the proposed development and in support of it.”
