The application had been deferred at Planning Applications Committee on 9 May, 2022 following discussion, presentations and debate surrounding proposed Plot 81 and existing dwelling No. 21 Farnsworth Avenue, Rainworth, in the context of 'shadow cast' and the intended siting and orientation between the two.

Prior to the occupation of any of the dwellings on the following plots (as labelled on approved plans ref. H7799/101 Rev.

| 22/32 | PLANNING APPLICATION REFERENCE: 2021/0806/FUL 1 NO. DWELLING - LAND ADJACENT 21 BRECKBANK, FOREST TOWN | PLANNING APPLICATION REFERENCE: 2021/0806/FUL 1 NO. DWELLING - LAND ADJACENT 21 BRECKBANK, FOREST TOWN
The Committee considered an application for 1 No. dwelling at land adjacent to 21 Breckbank, Forest Town.
The officer presented the item and outlined the key material planning considerations.
The recommendation was verbally updated to include an additional Condition to address the potential impact on trees. The wording of the Condition being:
'No works or development shall commence until details of the tree protection measures for the trees to be retained (in accordance with the contents of BS 5837(2012)) have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The approved tree protection measures shall remain in place throughout the duration of the construction works.
Reason: To ensure that the existing trees to be retained are adequately protected during the construction phase of the development, in accordance with policy NE2 (Biodiversity and Geodiversity) of the Mansfield Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.'
During the debate there was discussion about the potential for the existing property at 21 Breckbank and/or the proposed dwelling to be used as a House in Multiple Occupation. After the meeting, the presenting Officer emailed members of the Committee to correct the advice given at the meeting, to confirm that a change of use from a dwelling (use class C3) to a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) to be occupied by not more than 6 individuals (use class C4) was a material change of use, but would not require planning permission in relation to 21 Breckbank. In relation to the proposed dwelling, that property would have to be occupied first by a single household (use class C3) before it would benefit from the permitted development right to convert to a C4 use. In relation to both properties, a change of use to a HMO to be occupied by more than 7 individuals not living as a single household would require planning permission.
An informative note would be added to the decision notice making it clear that the permission was for a C3 dwelling to be occupied by a single household only so that it was clear what was being approved. That would not prevent a future change to C4 but it would clarify that it could not be occupied as a C4 HMO from first use.
