The Development Manager reported on an application that sought permission to relocate the existing ‘late arrival’ reception building and retrospective consent for play equipment with a fenced enclosure at Shearbarn Holiday Park, Barley Lane, Hastings.
Shearbarn Holiday Park is within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and is adjacent to Hastings Country Park. The site is divided by Barley Lane with the Holiday Park on the south east side and the touring caravan and camp site on the north west side. The development that forms part of this application relates to the touring caravan and camp site. There are three shower and toilet blocks, a gas compound, a storage shed and bin store around the site.
The existing and proposed location of the reception building and the location of the play equipment are within the touring caravan and camp site on the north-west side of Barley Lane.
The reception building is located inside the entrance of the touring caravan and camp site. It is to be relocated to a position approximately 28 metres to the north of tis present location onto a grassed area. The reason for re-siting the building is to improve the supervision of the arrivals to the touring caravan site and improve supervision of the site in general. The reception building measures 3.6 metres by 4.5 metres and is 2.8 metres in height. It is of a timber construction with a green felt, pitched roof.
The play equipment has been in place for approximately 12 months. It is mainly of timber construction and comprises a bus, two spring sit-on animals, a basket swing and a play boat. All pieces of play equipment are enclosed by a timber picket style fence.
The main issues considered were the impacts upon the amenity and impact on the AONB and Hastings Country Park; provision of visitor facilities, public safety and convenience and land stability.
The Development Manager considered the reception building and play equipment would enhance facilities within the site and they are appropriate to the character and appearance of the touring caravan and camp site. He felt there were no significant adverse impacts on the rural amenity enjoyed by visitors to the County Park; the landscape character of the Country Park, the AONB or the area in general and as such recommended that planning permission be granted subject to conditions.
The Human Rights considerations have been taken into account fully in balancing the planning issues.
Councillor Wincott proposed a motion to approve the application as set out in the resolution below. This was seconded by Councillor ... view the full minutes text for item 48a

The Development Manager reported on an application for the variation of condition 10 of Planning Permission HS/FA/08/00797 - 14 x 2 bedroom semi-detached dwellings at Land north of 14 Fern Road, St Leonards on Sea.
The application site lies on the east side of Fern Road and is positioned between numbers 14 and 31 Fern Road. A public footpath crosses the site.
This application follows the approval of application HS/FA/08/00797 for minor alterations to elevations, allowed at appeal on 27th April 2011.
Condition 10 of application HS/FA/08/00797 related to the approved drawings for this scheme. By varying this condition, the applicant sought to replace some of the approved drawings showing changes to the design of the houses. In particular the roof design, the porch roofs and the proposed materials. The dwellings would have more individual character which would be more in keeping with properties in Fern Road.
The Development Manager felt the changes to the proposed dwellings were not significant in that the overall size and height of the buildings would remain the same. He therefore recommended that planning permission be granted subject to conditions.
The Human Rights considerations had been taken into account fully in balancing the planning issues.
Councillor Rogers proposed a motion to approve the application as set out in the resolution below. This was seconded by Councillor Wincott.
RESOLVED– by (7 votes to 3) that planning permission be granted subject to the following conditions:-

The Development Manager reported on an application for the variation of condition 22 of planning permission HS/FA/14/00052 – amendment to road layout at site of former Old Roar House, 104 Old Roar Road, St. Leonards on Sea.
The application site is located on the south eastern side of Old Roar Road and consists of a vacant area of land previously occupied by a detached building (used as a childrens care home) and an outbuilding.
This application follows the approval of application HS/FA/14/00052 for amendments to planning permission HS/FA/13/00499 – 10 houses (3x4 bedroom detached houses and 7x2 bedroom terraced houses) and 4x2 bedroom apartments. Previous amendments involved changes to the design of the detached dwellings, alterations to the parking layout and the formation of a second entrance from Old Roar Road.
The current minor material amendments involve changes to the type of hard surfacing materials; minor changes to the hard surfacing areas for two of the detached dwellings and the parking area for the proposed flats; the formation of a turning head; the formation of a pedestrian path to the side of one of the terraced houses to give access to the rear garden; the bin storage area for the proposed flats is to be enlarged; the fence line for the detached dwelling located nearest to the western boundary is to be located further to the north-west.
The development is subject to a requirement to provide 20% affordable housing which equates to 3 units. This is to be secured through the use of a Section 106 Agreement.
The main considerations were the impacts of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, highway safety and tree loss.
The Development Manager felt the proposal would remain in keeping with the character and appearance of the area and that suitable soft landscaping could be achieved through the use of conditions and the proposal would not result in additional highway safety issues, he therefore recommended the application be approved.
The Human Rights considerations had been taken into account fully in balancing the planning issues.
Councillor Roberts proposed a motion to approve the application as set out in the resolution below. This was seconded by Councillor Dowling.
RESOLVED– (unanimously) that:
(A) The Development Manager be authorised to issue planning permission on the completion of an Agreement under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to ensure ... view the full minutes text for item 48c

The Development Manager reported on an application for the approval of reserved matters of outline planning permission at Former Nursery Site, Redgeland Rise, St. Leonards on Sea.
The principle of the development for 28 dwellings was approved as part of outline permission HS/OA/11/00854. This application sought approval of reserved matters for appearance; landscaping, layout and scale.
Details of the development comprised a mixture of two storey detached and semi-detached housings and flats with brick walls and tiled roofs. The flats have been designed to minimise the impact on properties in Redgeland Rise. Plots 19,20,21 and 22 have a split level design internally to take account of the gradient of the site.
Off-street car parking will be provided to the front and side of the buildings, adjacent to the properties they serve. The layout allows for soft landscaping to the front gardens. The houses all have 10m long gardens and each of the flats has a garden of 9m in length.
The main issues considered were the impacts upon the character of the area; the impact on neighbouring residential amenities, adequacy of parking provision and road layout, the impact on trees and the impact on biodiversity.
Details regarding boundary treatments, predominantly along the southern boundary shared with properties on Churchwood Way were subject to correspondence between the applicant and local residents. Prior to any works, details will need to be submitted as part of the landscaping details required by condition.
The Development Manager recommended that the reserved matters be granted subject to conditions.
The Human Rights considerations had been taken into account fully in balancing the planning issues.
Councillor Scott proposed a motion to approve the application, subject to the addition of Condition 4 and Reason 4 as set out in the resolution below. This was seconded by Councillor Roberts.
