   3.     Planning Applications.

          2010/0379 36 Mavis Avenue, Ravenshead – To erect a one storey
                    conservatory on the rear elevation of the property.

          Comment No objections.

          2010/0402 4 Chapel Fields, Ravenshead – Erect two storey rear extension.

          Comment Ravenshead Parish Council is concerned about potential
                  overlooking and the size of the extension. If the neighbouring new
                  houses are still unoccupied Gedling Borough Council should take
                  careful consideration about the overlooking problems.

          2010/0459 25 Silverwood Avenue, Ravenshead – New Kitchen extension and
                    ground floor study.

          Comment This could be obtrusive on the street scene.

          2010/0465 2 Gorse Hill Ravenshead – Internal alterations to convert existing
                    integral garage to two bedrooms. Detached double garage to the
                    front.

          Comment No objections however concerns are raised that the turning circle
                  might not be adequate to access the garage.

          2010/0466 28 Main Road, Ravenshead – Front, rear and side extensions to
                    property including new garage.

          Comment No objections.
2010/0504 The Sherwood Ranger Chapel Lane – Outline application (all
          matters reserved) for the development of 2 detached dwellings to
          the rear of the Sherwood Ranger) Public House, Ravenshead

Comment Ravenshead Parish Council is concerned that sufficient car parking
        spaces are still available at the pub especially now that they are
        running a takeaway service which as yet to have the benefit of
        Planning Permission. There is concern that the new development
        will have an entrance (shared) onto a busy rural lane with no
        footpath and close to a junction. Chapel Lane is a well used rat run.
        It is not wide enough for a centre white line and the majority of
        traffic movements are inter-village through traffic.

            There is concern that the Planning Drawing 1607(03)002 are
            incorrect and do not show the new decked area which reduces the
            car parking availability. There is no through access across the pub
            site and query if there is sufficient car parking space on each side.

            Consultation documents by Bruton Knowles appear to have been
            produced before developments at the pub.
