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.
