Public Participation

Mr Mark Shuldham, representing Wylye Parish Council, spoke in objection to the application.

The Planning Officer presented the report which recommended approval.   A debate ensued regarding the light pollution issues and it was requested that this needed to be conditioned.  It was requested that Officers bring a report for information to the committee on the lighting scheme agreed and this to be copied to the Parish Council.

Resolved:

Planning Permission be GRANTED for the following reason:

The proposed development relates to the provision of essential trunk road infrastructure at an established maintenance depot, and it is not considered that the proposed salt storage buildings, by virtue of their appropriate siting and design, would result in significant harm to the surrounding environment and landscape. The proposal would therefore accord with the aims and objectives of the development plan and other Government guidance, having particular regard to Local Plan policies G1, G2, C2, C3, C4, C5, C17, C18 and PPS7.

And subject to the following Conditions:

1)    The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission.

Reason:  To comply with the provisions of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

2)    The development shall only be undertaken in accordance with the following approved plans:

Plan Ref….MMD-259113-D-DR-WYL-XX-0002 Rev. P1...     Date Received….31.03.11….

Plan Ref….MMD-259113-Z-DR-WYL-XX-0014 Rev. P1...      Date Received….31.03.11….

Plan Ref….MMD-259113-Z-DR-WYL-XX-0016 Rev. P1...      Date Received….31.03.11….

Plan Ref….MMD-259113-Z-DR-WYL-XX-0017 Rev. P1...      Date Received….31.03.11….

Reason: For the avoidance of doubt.

3)    No development shall commence on site until a scheme of external lighting for the whole site has been submitted to and agreed in writing by the local planning authority. The scheme shall provide a net reduction in light spillage from the site in relation to existing lighting. Details shall include plans showing the type of light appliance, the height and position of fitting, illumination levels, light spillage, and hours of operation. The lighting approved shall be installed and shall be maintained in accordance with the approved details, and no additional external lighting shall then be installed at the site.

Reason: In the interests of the amenities of the area and to minimise unnecessary light spillage above and outside the development site.

Policy: G2(iv), C3, C5

INFORMATIVES:-

Cess pit

The cess pit should be regularly inspected to prevent risk of overfilling. It should be fully water tight to prevent losses to groundwater. Transfer notes should be kept for any cess pit waste collections. The cess pit waste collections can only be made by a licensed waste carrier and can only be taken to a suitably licensed site.

Oil and Chemical Storage

Oil or chemical storage facilities should be sited in bunded areas. The capacity of the bund should be at least 10% greater than the capacity of the storage tank or, if more than one tank is involved, the capacity of the largest tank within the bunded area. Hydraulically inter-linked tanks should be regarded as a single tank. There should be no working connections outside the bunded area.
