Public Consultation
Yes – 5 objections
Councillor Bacon was present for consideration of this item.
The Principal Planning Officer presented this application for the erection of 28 units. All matters are reserved accept access. There are no updates. Aerial images were shown and slides of the location plan and block plan. Access from Stone Court images were shown as well as houses in Stone Court. An indicative layout was presented showing what the development will look like. The Principal Planning Officer explained that the site is quite small, it's constrained, it's limited in size, and that the applicant proposes a T-road into the site with dwellings fronting. The dwellings are set back from the main road, and trees are proposed at the perimeter boundary of the application side so that they act as a buffer from the Ancient Woodland.
There have been 5 letters of objection from neighbours. The main consideration is the principle of development. This site is within a sustainable location and it's part of an allocated site under Policy GH3 of the Local Plan. The adjoining site to the northeast has got planning permission for eight houses and this site together with the application site forms the land that is allocated under Policy GH3 with a net capacity of 33 dwellings. There is no detailed design submitted at this stage as this is an outline application. The application proposes 35 dwellings per hectare, and it is considered that the development that is proposed is of acceptable density, given that policy requires a minimum of 30 dwellings per hectare in this area.
The Highway Authority have been consulted and agree with the proposed access arrangements and are satisfied that this housing development can be accommodated on this site, and that the access proposed is capable of supporting a development as proposed, subject to conditions and the financial contribution recommended by the Highways Engineer. Twenty-four individual trees in three groups of trees will be lost as a result of the development. The trees do not have tree preservation orders and are not important trees. The Arboriculturist has been consulted and he has no objection to the development.
Councillors asked questions of the Principal Planning Officer.
Councillors asked to confirm the name of the site as they believe it is Spyway School and not Spyways School. The Principal Planning Officer answered that the application form says the site is the former Spyways School.
The Principal Planning Officer was asked regarding biodiversity and the Great Crested Newts survey being out of date. She answered that an update was not requested because this is an outline application and there are further surveys that are required to be submitted at reserved matters stage. The Councillor also asked about the Ancient Woodland that would be lost. The Planning Services Manager responded and advised that the amount of woodland that would be lost is very small. It was confirmed that its loss was agreed when planning permission was given for the 8 dwellings on land adjoining this site.
Councillor Beaver proposed approval of the recommendation, seconded by Councillor Cox.
RESOLVED (7 for 3 against) Grant permission subject to the following:
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/OA/20/00022 to secure:
• 25% affordable housing. The final figure is dependent on the number of dwellings proposed at reserved matters stage.
• A financial contribution of £7,364.00 (£263 per dwelling x 28 dwellings) towards additional library provision and more flexible library and information services to meet changing needs. The final figure is dependent on the total number of dwellings proposed at reserved matters stage.
• A financial contribution of a total of £18,150.00 (£110 per sq.m x 165 sq.m) towards the improvement of the following nearby play facilities: Celandine Drive (£3,000.00), Shornden (£6,000.00), Gensing Gardens (£6,150.00) and Darwell Close (£3,000.00).
• A financial contribution towards Real Time Passenger Information (RTPI) (£24,000) to install RTPI signs at the two nearest Springfield Road (northbound and southbound) bus stops.
• The upgrading of the two nearest Springfield Road (northbound and southbound) bus stops at the applicant's expense:-
Springfield Road northbound bus stop
• aised kerb, ideally 160mm height (minimum 125mm)
• Bus stop clearway markings
Real time passenger information display.
• Springfield Road southbound bus stopTo provide raised kerbs at this location, alterations to the existing bus shelter are likely. One solution may be to replace the existing shelter with a new shelter with the open side facing the road, thereby providing space for the section of raised kerb.
• The provision of a new bus stop to the socket and pole design (as per the northbound direction currently) – sourced from Stagecoach at the applicant’s expense.
• A financial contribution of £500 towards consultations and preparations to be undertaken for the installation of bus stop clearway markings at the Springfield Road bus stop.
• A Travel Plan generally in the form of the Travel Plan Framework, including a welcome pack for each new unit detailing walking and cycling routes, public transport links/timetables with a bus season ticket voucher or cycle voucher. No monitoring fee is required as the development is below the threshold.
• A S278 Legal Agreement for the highway works which include road adoption and bus improvements.
• A S38 Legal Agreement for the proposed adoptable on-site highway works.
unless it has been conclusively shown that the development would not be viable and that it would still be acceptable in planning terms without the identified development contributions. In the event that the Agreement is not completed by 30 April 2022 that permission be refused on the grounds that the application does not comply with the relevant policies (Policies H3 and CI1) of the Hastings Local Plan, The Hastings Planning Strategy 2011-2028 or the Hastings Local Plan, Development Management Plan 2015 unless an extension of time has been agreed in writing by the Planning Services Manager.
