Minutes:
The Committee received an application for
full planning permission.
The application
sought approval for demolition of 32no existing flats and garages, and erection
of 75no new affordable dwellings, including 4no houses and 71no apartments, a
new community facility, car parking, landscaping and associated works.
The Principal Planner referred members to the amendments contained in
the Amendment Sheet which dealt with an additional neighbour representation and
conditions proposed by the Local Lead Flood Authority following the withdrawal
of their objection to the application.
The Principal Planner as part of his presentation proposed two
additional conditions, the first related to noise from the community centre
garden in order to protect residential amenity and the second was to require EV
charging points were provided in accordance with an approved plan.
The Committee:
Unanimously resolved to grant the application for planning
permission in accordance with the Officer recommendation, for the reasons set
out in the Officer’s report, subject to:
i.
the prior completion
of an Agreement under s106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to secure
the planning obligations referenced in paragraphs 8.73 of the Officer’s report;
and
ii.
the planning conditions set out in
the Officer’s report; and
iii.
the following additional
conditions set out in the amendment sheet; and
37 (Surface Water Drainage)
No development hereby permitted, with the exception of demolition, shall
be commenced until a surface water drainage scheme for the site, based on
sustainable drainage principles and in accordance with South Cambridgeshire
District Council local plan policies, has been submitted to and approved in
writing by the local planning authority. The scheme shall subsequently be
implemented in accordance with the approved details before the development is
occupied.
The scheme shall also include:
a) Details of the existing surface water drainage arrangements including
runoff rates for the QBAR, 3.3% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) (1 in 30)
and 1% AEP (1 in 100) storm events;
b) Full results of the proposed drainage system modelling in the
above-referenced storm events (as well as 1% AEP plus climate change) ,
inclusive of all collection, conveyance, storage, flow control and disposal
elements and including an allowance for urban creep, together with a schematic
of how the system has been represented within the hydraulic model;
c) Detailed drawings of the entire proposed surface water drainage
system, including levels, gradients, dimensions and pipe reference numbers and
all SuDS features;
d) A plan of the drained site area and which part of the proposed
drainage system these will drain to;
e) Full details of the proposed attenuation and flow control measures;
f) Site Investigation and test results to confirm infiltration rates;
g) Temporary storage facilities if the development is to be phased;
h) A timetable for implementation if the development is to be phased;
i) Details of overland flood flow routes in the event of system
exceedance, with demonstration that such flows can be appropriately managed on
site without increasing flood risk to occupants;
j) Full details of the maintenance/adoption of the surface water
drainage system;
k) Measures taken to prevent pollution of the receiving groundwater
and/or surface water;
l) Formal agreement from a third party if discharging into their system
is proposed, including confirmation (and evidence where appropriate) that
sufficient capacity is available.
The drainage scheme must adhere to the hierarchy of drainage options as
outlined in the NPPF PPG.
Reason: To ensure that the proposed development can be adequately
drained and to ensure that there is no increased flood risk on or off site
resulting from the proposed development.
38 (Management and maintenance)
Details for the long-term maintenance arrangements for the surface water
drainage system (including all SuDS features) to be submitted to and approved
in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to the first occupation of any
of the buildings hereby permitted. The submitted details should identify runoff
sub-catchments, SuDS components, control structures, flow routes and outfalls.
In addition, the plan must clarify the access that is required to each surface
water management component for maintenance purposes. The maintenance plan shall
be carried out in full thereafter.
Reason: To ensure the satisfactory maintenance of drainage systems that
are not publically adopted, in accordance with the requirements of paragraphs
163 and 165 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
39 (Foul Drainage)
No building hereby permitted shall be occupied until foul water drainage
works have been implemented in accordance with details that have been submitted
to and approved in writing by the local planning authority.
Reason: To ensure that the proposed development can be adequately
drained and to ensure that there is no increased flood risk on or off site
resulting from the proposed development.
40 Flood Evacuation Plan
No building hereby permitted shall be occupied until a flood evacuation
plan has been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning
authority.
Reason: To ensure that the proposed development is safe to access and
egress in the event of a flood.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATIVES:
INFORMATIVE: Finished
Floor Levels:
The applicant is advised that the proposed finished floor levels are set
below the recommended freeboard allowance. The applicant has set out their
reasons for this – principally that the applicant’s modelling shows the
properties as not flooding and a higher finished floor level (relative to local
ground level) would result in impractical access ramps. Our preference would be
to provide more freeboard as a contingency. For the avoidance of doubt the
setting of finished floor levels (as with all other design choices) is
ultimately at the applicant’s risk and the Lead Local Flood Authority accept no
liability for consequences of the design.
The applicant is advised that, given the low amount of freeboard on the
finished floor levels, that they consider flood resilient construction
techniques and materials such as those outlined in the DCLG Improving the Flood
Performance of New Buildings - Flood Resilient Construction guidance:

/file/7730/flood_performance.pdf
INFORMATIVE Green Roofs:
All green roofs should be designed, constructed and maintained in line
with the CIRIA SuDS Manual (C753) and the Green Roof Code (GRO).
INFORMATIVE Pollution Control:
Surface water and groundwater bodies are highly vulnerable to pollution
and the impact of construction activities. It is essential that the risk of
pollution (particularly during the construction phase) is considered and
mitigated appropriately. It is important to remember that flow within the
watercourse is likely to vary by season and it could be dry at certain times
throughout the year. Dry watercourses should not be overlooked as these
watercourses may flow or even flood following heavy rainfall.
iv.
The following additional
conditions tabled at committee and
a) Music and amplified voice is prohibited in the external community
centre garden at all times.
Reason: To protect the
amenity of properties from noise. (National Planning Policy Framework, Feb 2019
- paragraph 180 a) and b) and Cambridge
Local Plan 2018 - Policy 35: Protection of human health and quality of life
from noise and vibration)
b) The electric vehicle charge points and associated infrastructure
as detailed in and as shown on drawing number CPK-EV01 - Electric Vehicle
Charging Points shall be the type / standard as detailed below and shall be
installed prior to use of the development hereby permitted is commenced and
retained thereafter, unless otherwise approved in writing by the Local Planning
Authority.
The charging points shall
be designed and installed in accordance with BS EN 61851.
Reason: In the interests of encouraging more sustainable
modes and forms of transport and to reduce the impact of development on local
air quality, in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF,
2019) paragraphs, 110, 170 and 181, Policy 36 of the Cambridge Local Plan
(2018) and Cambridge City Council's adopted Air Quality Action Plan (2018).
v. An amendment to condition 35 to include maintenance details of green roof areas, with the specific wording being delegated to the Delivery Manager Development Management.
