The Committee
received an application for full planning permission.
The
application sought approval for the erection of a new children's day nursery on
the existing Faculty of Education car park, with associated outdoor playspace, alterations to the car park, provision of new
bicycle and buggy parking, landscaping and ancillary works.
The
Committee noted the amendment sheet and further updates and corrections as
detailed by the Officer. Amendments to the wording of condition 9 were tabled.
The Committee received representations in objection to the application
from local residents.
The representations covered the following issues:
i.
Whilst supporting the need for the
nursery, residents had concerns about road safety of children in a busy area.
ii.
Noise disturbance would be a
problem for local residents.
iii.
There was insufficient parking in
the area.
iv.
Elderly residents in need of care
and medical support would find parking spaces occupied by parents.
v.
Cars would be likely to park on
the pavement.
vi.
Noise mitigation measures would
not resolve the noise issues.
vii.
Additional protections were needed
to protect the amenity of existing residents.
Professor Chris Abell (Applicant) addressed
the Committee in support of the application.
Councillor Blencowe proposed an amendment to the Officer’s
recommendation 21 in that additional noise prevention measure be installed. Final wording for the
condition to be delegated to officers in consultation with the Chair and
spokes.
This amendment was carried
by 9 votes to 1.
The Committee:
Resolved (by 6 votes to 3 and 1 abstention) to grant the
application for planning permission in accordance with the officer
recommendation, for the reasons set out in the officer report, and subject to
the conditions recommended by the officers.
AND
the 4th
and 5th paragraphs of recommended Condition 9 amended to read as
follows:
3) Specifically, if the surface water
drainage scheme requires discharge of water to infrastructure on adjoining sites
not within the ownership of the applicants (or their successors in title), the
submitted details shall include a completed legal easement(s) between the
applicants and the adjoining landowner(s) which grants all necessary rights to
the applicant and its successors in title to carry out the required works,
maintain and replace them thereafter, and to discharge surface water through
the surface water media constructed, throughout the lifetime of the
development.
The approved
details shall be fully implemented on site prior to any works on site, other
than demolition and the construction of the drainage infrastructure itself, and
shall be retained thereafter.
AND the addition of a
further condition to increase the effectiveness of the acoustic barrier on the
north and east boundaries, wording to be drafted by officers and submitted to
Chair, Vice-chair and Spokes for approval.
