The Development Manager reported on an application for the erection of a pair of two bedroom semi-detached houses at Land rear of 38-40 Nelson Road, Hastings.
The site consists of a vacant parcel of land located at Nelson Road. The area is residential and is defined mainly by three storey terraced buildings.
The current scheme is for a pair of semi-detached dwellings which are to be built of facing brick with roof tiles and UPVC windows. Each dwelling is to be two bedroom with private amenity space to the side and rear.
The proposal also involves the removal of a preserved sycamore tree and its replacement with two trees either side of the proposed dwellings.
The main issues considered were the impacts on the character and appearance of the area; amenity of neighbouring residents; protected trees; living environment; loss of open space; housing type and affordable housing; drainage; highway safety and parking; and ecology and biodiversity.
The Development Manager felt the proposal would preserve the character and appearance of the area and through the use of conditions would not result in adverse impacts on its surroundings. As such he recommended the application be approved subject to conditions and a legal agreement to cover affordable housing and the formation of additional permit parking bays.
The Human Rights considerations had been taken into account fully in balancing the planning issues.

Proposal:
Proposed demolition of existing dwelling and erection of 10 new dwellings with 15 parking spaces on land at and adjacent to 37 Charles Road West
Application No:
HS/OA/06/00694
Existing Use:
Nursery/Garden Centre
The Development Manager reported on an outline application for the demolition of existing dwelling and the erection of 10 new dwellings with 15 parking spaces on land at Filsham Nursery adjacent to 37 Charles Road West where only details of siting are to be determined.
The Planning Committee resolved to grant planning permission for this development subject to a Section 106 Agreement for highway improvements on 08 November 2006. Since that time the Section 106 has remained unsigned and the site has not been sold for redevelopment.
This application was brought before the Planning Committee to obtain approval to amend the resolution to include the requirement for affordable housing. A financial contribution towards junction improvements at the Green was also required as part of the original resolution to grant planning permission. Although some of these works have now been completed, a highways contribution towards further improvements is required. Reference to this contribution in the Section 106 Agreement remains.
Having raised her prejudicial interest, Councillor Charman was absent from the Chamber during discussion and debate.
The Human Rights considerations have been taken into account fully in balancing the planning issues: Article 8 - right to respect for private and family life and Article 1 of the first Protocol - protection of property; peaceful enjoyment of possessions and property (including commercial).
Councillor Scott proposed a motion to approve the application, subject to the amendment of Recommendation A by deleting the words “parking bays” and replace with the words “highway improvements” and the addition of Note 3 as set out in the resolution below. This was seconded by Councillor Wincott.
RESOLVED– by (7 votes to 0, with 1 abstention) that:-
A) That the Development Manager be authorised to issue planning permission upon completion of a S106 Agreement to secure the provision of 20% Affordable Housing and contributions towards Highways Improvements. In the event of the agreement not being completed by 8 April 2015 that the Development Manager be authorised to refuse permission on the grounds that adequate provision has not been made for the provision of affordable housing and highway improvements.

The Development Manager reported on an application for the erection of a detached five bedroom house and detached double garage at the former Hurst Court grounds, 316 The Ridge, Hastings.
The application site specifically relates to the north-western part of the site which adjoins the residential development at Hurst Way.
The proposed detached house will adjoin the 6 detached houses currently under construction.
Proposals also include the removal of some trees and mitigation measures in relation to the substantial badger sett to the north and east. The building materials proposed will be consistent with the local area.
The main issues considered were the impacts on the character of the area and the AONB, neighbouring residential amenities, biodiversity, trees, the AONB and highway safety.
The development is subject to an affordable housing financial contribution in accordance with policy H3 of HPS. The applicant has signed a unilateral agreement to secure this financial contribution as part of the planning permission.
The Development Manager felt the development would not harm the character of the area or the AONB as it had been designed to fit in with the existing spacious character of the area and will be relatively well screened from the AONB. He believed the applicant had carried out sufficient work in relation to badgers and proposed appropriate mitigation, including a badger protection area. Furthermore, a number of of trees will be retained in line with local character and the development will not involve any highway safety concerns. Therefore, he recommended that planning permission be granted subject to conditions.
One further email of objection had been received since the publication of theagenda. It was circulated prior to the start of the meeting.
The Human Rights considerations had been taken into account fully in balancing the planning issues.
