Application for erection of multi-functional recreational building formation of a new car parking areas, new access roads and the proposed erection of 15 golf holiday homes and all associated ancillary works and landscaping (Resubmission).

‘Late items:’

Introduction:-

Further information has been submitted, which relates to a proposed revised layout of the affected Tee off hole and the 18th hole. The layout would result in the shortening of the holes.

Confidential information has also been provided which outlines the cost estimate appraisal of the development.

Consultations:-

An additional neighbour letter has been received raising the following comments:-

1)         The creation of holiday home will take away space for a golf course, decreasing its viability

2)         Green spaces should be protected

3)         There is no space in Market Bosworth for extra traffic

4)         More housing would require more development in roads, signalling, schools, doctors, Police and dentists, which are at capacity

Market Bosworth Parish Council have made additional comments and advise that the amended layout and information do not mitigate previous objections.

Appraisal:-

The proposed amendments to the 18 hole golf course would shorten both holes 1 and 18. No details have been submitted which identify the works associated to alter these holes and it is anticipated that this would result in works outside the red line boundary of the application and would require a further planning application for these works.

The proposed cost estimate appraisal identifies the build and sale values of the proposed development and its cost for delivery and how this cost would be met. This does not alleviate the concerns and issues raised in the original committee report.

The recommendations to committee have not changed from the original report.

Application for erection of multi-functional recreational building, formation of new car parking areas, new access roads and the proposed erection of 15 gold holiday homes and all associated ancillary works and landscaping (resubmission).

It was then moved by Councillor Cook, seconded by Councillor Bill and

RESOLVED – planning permission be refused for the reasons contained in the officer’s report.
