Yes – Council application on Council owned land
The Planning Services Manager presented the application to develop a new 2 storey business incubation complex consisting of 29 units for a total area of approximately 888m2 lettable space complete with 47 parking spaces.
Since the report was published East Sussex County Council Highways Department have requested a financial contribution of £2250 towards auditing of the Travel Plan. The contribution should be made prior to first use or occupation of the offices. The recommendation has therefore changed to include this within the Section 106 legal agreement.
Plots PX and QX are situated within the Churchfields Industrial Estate accessed via Sidney Little Road. The surrounding area is predominantly industrial and the site is currently vacant, overgrown with trees and hedges.
The application is a resubmission of a previous application (reference HS/FA/19/00803) which was first considered by the Planning Committee in June 2020. Permission was granted subject to a S106 legal agreement to secure highway improvements.
During the drafting of the Section 106 legal agreement it became apparent that the application could not be determined as notice was not served to a leaseholder with a long-term lease when the application was first received. As such the application was considered to be invalid and resubmitted.
There are some differences between the previous scheme and the current application. The proposal now excludes the land to the north east of the site that is leased to a third party; the vehicular access point has been repositioned and moved further down Sidney Little Road; and a retaining wall is proposed that is approximately 2.5 metres above ground level on the south east corner of the building.
In response to questions from the Committee it was confirmed that the application includes 4 Electric Vehicle charging points.
Councillors were shown plans, photographs and elevations of the application site.
Councillor Bishop proposed approval of the recommendations, seconded by Councillor Marlow-Eastwood.
RESOLVED(unanimously) that full planning permission be granted subject to the following conditions:
A) That the Planning Services Manager be authorised to issue planning permission upon completion of an agreement under S106 of the Town and Country Planning Act for the entire redevelopment site covered under HS/FA/21/00306 to secure:
- a financial contribution of £12,000 towards Real Time Passenger Information to be displayed at the Bodiam Drive Bus Stop;
- a financial contribution of £5000 towards the preparation of a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) to install double yellow lines to prevent cars parking within the visibility splays;
- a financial contribution of £2250 towards auditing of the Travel Plan;
- a Travel Plan in the form of the Travel Plan Framework;
- a S278 Agreement with ESCC highways for the detailed design of the highway works and improvements required
