Application for approval of reserved matters (appearance, landscaping, layout and scale) of outline planning permission 19/01112/OUT.

 

Late items received after preparation of the main agenda:

 

Consultations:-

 

Comments have been received from LCC Archaeology raising no objections to the scheme with no archaeological action required.

 

Further comments have been received from Burbage Parish Council in response to the latest scheme, raising the following points:

 

Insufficient parking provision

Unnecessary and unsafe gated access

Insufficient bin collection point

Play and open space contribution should be made by the developer

 

Appraisal:-

 

The matter of parking provision has already been appraised in the officer report as being acceptable, as per LCC Highways advice. The proposed access has already been established under 19/01112/OUT and the proposed private gated arrangement has already been appraised in the current officer report as being acceptable, as it would not result in an adverse impact on highway safety.

 

Waste storage and collection details have already been appraised in the officer report as per HBBC Waste Services advice as being acceptable. Waste bins would be stored at the highway boundary and would not obstruct the pedestrian footpath.

 

An assessment of developer contributions was dealt with under 19/01112/OUT, where it was determined that a requirement for play and open space contributions was not triggered by the proposal. It would not be lawful to make this s.106 requests at Reserved Matters stage.

 

Recommendation:-

 

The recommendation remains unchanged from as set out on the agenda.

Minutes:

Application for approval of reserved matters (appearance, landscaping, layout and scale) of outline planning permission 19/01112/OUT for six dwellings.

 

It was moved by Councillor Gibbens and seconded by Councillor R Allen that permission be granted with an amendment to condition 4 to restrict gates along the entire length of the vehicular access

 

RESOLVED

 

(i)            permission be granted subject to the conditions contained in the officers report and the abovementioned amended condition;

 

(ii)           the Planning Manager be granted delegated authority to determine the final detail of planning conditions in consultation with the ward councillors.

Meeting: 07/07/2020 - Planning Committee (Item 401)

401 19/01112/OUT - Land at rear of 131 Lutterworth Road, Burbage pdf icon PDF 116 KB

Application for residential development (outline – access only)

 

Late items:

 

Consultations:-

The Council is in receipt of two further letters of objection following the publication of the committee agenda making the following points:

1)           The committee extract explains why the access should be granted planning permission on the basis that the future residential development is sustainable and not in breach of local policy

2)           We were strongly advised as neighbours to comment on access only not the potential development

3)           Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council is adopting a dual standards approach by clearly demonstrating that non-submitted, non-considered application considerations could be taken in to account as material considerations

4)           Only 20% of the document is dedicated to the access itself. It almost looks like that the potential development has already been considered as good to go

5)           The Committee Extract document has been uploaded onto the planning portal which appears to be giving a green light for the whole development to proceed instead of just the access proposal

6)           Very little notice has been given for the Committee preparation which takes an entirely new spin and vector now. There is absolutely no chance to defend residents grounds within 3 minutes against this in what appears to be a foregone decision

7)           This change of emphasis on the application cannot and should not be considered at all without further public consultation

8)           A satisfactory explanation should be provided as to why the approach to the application has been significantly altered and application 19/01112/OUT is still going to be considered.

 

Appraisal:-

The proposal has a development description of “Residential development (outline- access only)” this description appears on the publication of the planning application, including the site notice and neighbour letters that were sent. Therefore, publication of this application was carried out correctly and in accordance with statutory requirements.

 

Outline planning applications are designed to establish the principle of development, in this instance residential development of the site. However, the applicant has the option to reserve some matters for consideration later. With this particular application the applicant reserved all matters for consideration other than access. At this stage consideration is given to the access of the site, as well as the principle of residential development. The content of the Committee Report covers the relevant material planning considerations as part of the assessment of the application.

 

No changes to the proposal have been made without further publicity of the application with the exception of an indicative layout plan. However as this plan is indicative it is not for approval as part of this application as the layout of the development is still a matter for consideration. This plan makes no material change to the considerations of the described proposed development.   

 

Notification of the planning committee has been carried out in the same way via post or in the majority of cases via email to the address from which the objection was sent. Notification that the application would be reported to committee has therefore been  ...  view the full agenda text for item 401
