A report by the Case Officer is attached.

Minutes:

Public Participation

Elizabeth Lawer, local resident, spoke in objection to the application.

Bill Ford, local resident, spoke in objection to the application.

Edward Buchan, local resident, spoke in objection to the application.

Geraint Jones, Planning Director at Savills, agent, spoke in support of the application.

Mark Thorne, on behalf of the developer St Modwen, spoke in support of the application.

Giles Weir, Industrial Agency Director at JLL, spoke in support of the application.

Philip Jones, Chairman of Sutton Benger Parish Council, spoke in objection to the application.

 

Lee Burman, Development Management Team Leader, presented a report which recommended authority be granted to the Head of Development Management to grant permission for outline planning for the erection of up to 1,000,000 sq ft of class B8 (storage and distribution) employment space and associated infrastructure, subject to conditions and the signing of a section 106 legal agreement to address highways, transport and local employment matters within six months of the date of the decision.

 

Key issues were stated to include the impact on the landscape, ecology, highways implications, drainage concerns as well as policy considerations in particular Core Policy 34 of the Wiltshire Core Strategy. It was stated that through conditions and legal agreements most impacts had, in the opinion of officers and statutory consultees, been sufficiently mitigated. The impact on the landscape including trees was noted, and it was stated the public benefit of the additional employment space needed to outweigh the harm.

 

Members of the Committee then had the opportunity to ask technical questions of the officers. The level of demand for the B8 employment space was queried, and officers stated there had been a confirmed level of demand, which was unusual at the outline planning stage. Details were also sought on how B8 usage would be ensured, and it was stated a condition was included which would require a new application were there an attempt to change the employment use of the site. Additional details were also sought on transport links to the site, indicative designs for buildings on the site and if expressions of interest from operators came from those already operating within Wiltshire or from without.

 

Members of the public then had the opportunity to present their views to the Committee, as detailed above.

 

The local unitary division member, Councillor Howard Greenman, then spoke in objection to the application, in which he noted concerns raised by parishes and residents on traffic and drainage, and that he considered Core Policy 34’s requirements had not been met sufficiently to permit the application.

 

A debate followed where the level of mitigation measures proposed to address the impacts of the proposal were assessed, along with discussion of the benefits of attracting business interest through a fast growing sector such as B8 use. The location of the site was raised, and whether the wider road network in the area was suitable for the proposed use. The local plan review presently underway was also raised, and whether the application was therefore premature, and it was stated that due to its very early stage prematurity would not be regarded as a sound basis to delay determination.

 

At the conclusion of discussion, and on the moving of Councillor Tony Trotman, seconded by Councillor Fred Westmoreland, it was,

 

Resolved:

 

To delegate authority to the Head of Development Management to grant outline planning permission, subject to the signing of a S106 agreement within 6 months of the date of the resolution of this Committee to address the following requirements:

 

·         Contributions to Identified highways works

·         Travel Plan including Shuttle Bus Service provisions

·         Traffic Regulation Order Contributions

·         Local Labour Agreement

 

In the event that the parties do not agree to complete the S106 agreement within this timeframe to delegate authority to the Head of Development Management to refuse outline planning permission for the following reason:

 

The application proposal fails to provide and secure the necessary and required Services and infrastructure and community related requirements supporting the proposed employment development including Highways Improvements, Travel Plan including Shuttle Bus, Traffic Regulation Order and Local Labour Agreement and is therefore contrary to Policies CP3, CP60, CP61 & CP62 of the Wiltshire Core Strategy Adopted January 2015 and Paras 7, 14 & 17 of the National Planning Policy Framework March 2012.

INFORMATIVE TO APPLICANT:

The site falls within a groundwater Source Protection Zone 2 (SPZ 2). This is a zone of protection surrounding a nearby drinking water borehole, which is vulnerable to pollution. It therefore requires careful protection from contamination. The proposed package treatment plant may require an Environmental Permit to be granted by the Environment Agency.  The applicant can find further details on applying at the following link - https://www.gov.uk/topic/environmental-management/environmental-permits

 

INFORMATIVE TO APPLICANT:

An Environmental Permit (from the Environment Agency) will be required for the foul drainage package treatment plant.  Due to the sensitive groundwater beneath the site it cannot be guaranteed that this will be granted.  Further details on requirements and applying for the Permit can be found here - https://www.gov.uk/guidance/check-if-you-need-an-environmental-permit

 

INFORMATIVE TO APPLICANT:

Any alterations to the approved plans, brought about by compliance with Building regulations or any other reason must first be agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority before commencement of work.

INFORMATIVE TO APPLICANT:

 

The applicant should note that the grant of planning permission does not include any separate permission which may be needed to erect a structure in the vicinity of a public sewer.  Such permission should be sought direct from Thames Water Utilities Ltd / Wessex Water Services Ltd. Buildings are not normally allowed within 3.0 metres of a Public Sewer although this may vary depending on the size, depth, strategic importance, available access and the ground conditions appertaining to the sewer in question.

 

INFORMATIVE TO APPLICANT:

 

The applicant is requested to note that this permission does not affect any private property rights and therefore does not authorise the carrying out of any work on land outside their control. If such works are required it will be necessary for the applicant to obtain the landowners consent before such works commence.

 

If you intend carrying out works in the vicinity of the site boundary, you are also advised that it may be expedient to seek your own advice with regard to the requirements of the Party Wall Act 1996.

 

INFORMATIVE TO APPLICANT:

 

The applicant should note that under the terms of the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981) and the Habitats Regulations (2010) it is an offence to disturb or harm any protected species, or to damage or disturb their habitat or resting place.    Please   note   that   this   consent   does   not   override   the   statutory protection afforded to any such species.  In the event that your proposals could potentially affect a protected species you should seek the advice of a suitably qualified and experienced ecologist and consider the need for a licence from Natural England prior to commencing works.  Please see Natural England’s website for further information on protected species.

 

INFORMATIVE TO APPLICANT:

 

The consent hereby granted shall not be construed as authority to carry out works on the highway.  The applicant is advised that a license may be required from Wiltshire’s Highway Authority before any works are carried out on any footway, footpath, carriageway, verge or other land forming part of the highway.
