Hucknall care home plans which received more than 100 objections set for refusal

The application proposes converting an unoccupied four-bedroom home on Lovesey Avenue into a home for adults with learning disabilities.

Three residents would live there with 24-hour care, although the facility would only have one parking space provided.

A total of 130 objections were submitted, some saying the facility would lead to more on-street parking and would disrupt a quiet neighbourhood.

A petition was also submitted with 187 signatures against the plans.

Ashfield Council officers have recommended the application be turned down by councillors due to the impact on highways.

A report said: “The proposed car parking arrangement is considered to be insufficient and likely to result in an increase in on-street parking, taking into account the number of staff and potential visitors to the address, and would therefore have an unacceptable impact upon the highway network.

Council officers had requested further information about the changes from the applicant, the 9 Property Group, but say it didn’t address their concerns.

The application was submitted by Mr Tajinder Ubhi of 9 Property Group.

A resident from nearby Mustang Close wrote: “This is already a dangerous corner of the estate with non-residents often flying round it, meeting other cars in the road. This will only be heightened by numerous cars being parked at this address.

“The traffic at the end of the estate going into and out of Hucknall is nothing short of a nightmare in the mornings and evenings.”

Another said: “As a very local resident who drives and walks past this property daily, I am extremely fearful of the added danger the parking problem will cause.”

A resident on Lovesey Avenue wrote: “There are already issues with parking and more visitors/workers to the house will add to this as there is a lack of public transport currently serving the estate.”

The application will be determined at the planning committee meeting on Wednesday, January 24.
