Public Participation

There were no speakers.

 

The Senior Planning Officer introduced the application for Variation of condition 8 to application 13/02254/FUL to allow 28 additional car parking spaces as required by the Fire Service. The application was recommended for approval.

 

Members of the Committee then had the opportunity to ask technical questions of Officers. It was noted that some trees would be removed to make way for the additional car parking spaces, but that replacement trees would be planted on other areas of the site. The Fire Service did not have a travel plan.

 

Although Cllr Douglas was the local Unitary Member, Councillor Clewer spoke in support of the application as the access roads for the site were all in his division. He supported the additional spaces, but asked that all of the 8 trees to be removed were then replaced elsewhere.

 

The Committee discussed the application, noting that the Fire Brigade had not submitted a travel plan, providing evidence that the spaces were needed. However the site had always been restricted and it was felt that additional spaces would help to alleviate this issue for other users at the site.

 

Resolved:

The application be APPROVED with the following conditions:

 

 

 

1

In complete accordance with the submitted details, use of the all weather pitch, including operation of the associated floodlighting, shall cease at 22:00hrs each day and shall not resume use and operation until the following day at 08:30hrs, unless otherwise agreed with the Local Planning Authority in the form of a new and separate planning permission in that regard.

 

Reason:  So as to avoid unnecessary and unacceptable noise and disturbance from the     use and operation of the all-weather pitch.

 

2

The development shall be carried out as specified in the approved Arboricultural Method Statement (AMS), and shall be supervised by an arboricultural consultant.

 

Reason: To prevent trees on site from being damaged during construction works.

 

3

No retained tree shall be cut down, uprooted or destroyed, nor shall any retained tree be topped or lopped other than in accordance with the approved plans and particulars, without the prior written approval of the Local Planning Authority.  Any topping or lopping approved shall be carried out in accordance with British Standard 3998 (Tree Work).

If any retained tree is removed, uprooted or destroyed or dies, another tree shall be planted at the same place and that tree shall be of such size and species and shall be planted at such time, as may be specified in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

No equipment, machinery or materials shall be brought on to the site for the purpose of the development, until a scheme showing the exact position of protective fencing to enclose all retained trees beyond the outer edge of the overhang of their branches in accordance with British Standard 5837 (2005): Trees in Relation to Construction, has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority, and; the protective fencing has been erected in accordance with the approved details. This fencing shall be maintained until all equipment, machinery and surplus materials have been removed from the site.  Nothing shall be stored or placed in any area fenced in accordance with this condition and the ground levels within those areas shall not be altered, nor shall any excavation be made, without the prior written consent of the Local Planning Authority.

In this condition "retained tree" means an existing tree which is to be retained in accordance with the approved plans and particulars; and paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall have effect until the expiration of five years from the first occupation or the completion of the development, whichever is the later.

 

REASON: To enable the local planning authority to ensure the retention of trees on the site in the interests of visual amenity.
