Neighbours have weighed in on a planning dispute between a property owner and the local council in a Nottinghamshire village. Plans for a large house at the former riding stables in Lambley, off of Main Street, have been refused once again in a years long dispute that has been heard by the High Court.
The site was last purchased in 2018 with outline permission already in place to develop the existing stables into one house, with a maximum floor space of 240 square metres. The applicant, Phillip Proctor, has had two different house plans approved for the site but wanted to add a garage in place of the currently derelict stable buildings, applying to do this in 2020.
The council argued would be larger than the previously agreed maximum floor space. This planning application was refused in May 2020 as the council said the proposal was contrary to its Green Belt Policy.
