APPLICATION FOR PLANNING PERMISSION 96465/FUL/18 - GREAT HEYS, 74 BANKHALL LANE, HALE BARNS WA15 0LW pdf icon PDF 465 KB

To consider the attached report of the Head of Planning and Development.

Minutes:

[Note: At this point in the proceedings, Councillor Patel declared a Personal and Prejudicial Interest in Application 96465/FUL/18 as her spouse is employed by the Agent, she confirmed he had no involvement with the Application and she left the room during consideration of this item.]

 

The Head of Planning and Development submitted a report concerning an application for planning permission for the demolition of existing dwelling and redevelopment of the site to provide a new 64 bedroom care home (Use Class C2) together with associated access, car parking and landscaping.

 

              RESOLVED:  That the Council are minded to refuse planning permission (in contesting the appeal) for the following reasons:

 

(1)         The proposed development, by reason of its scale, density, mass and use change, would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the adjacent South Hale Conservation Area and would lead to less than substantial harm to the significance of this designated heritage asset which would not be outweighed by the public benefits of the development.  The development thus fails to satisfy the test at paragraph 196 of the National Planning Policy Framework and it is also contrary to Policy R1 of the Trafford Core Strategy and the South Hale Conservation Area Supplementary Planning Document (SPD5.21). 

 

(2)            The proposed development, by reason of its scale, density, mass and use change, would be inappropriate to the site’s semi-rural context.  It would thus cause appreciable harm to the character, appearance and enjoyment of the surrounding countryside landscape and would have a detrimental impact on the visual appearance and character of the street scene and the surrounding area.  It is thus considered contrary to Policy R2 and Policy L7 of the Trafford Core Strategy, and the National Planning Policy Framework. 

 

(3)               Available information indicates that protected species are present on site and would be disturbed by the proposed development.  It is not considered that the planning merits of the proposed development sufficiently justify the resultant impact to protected species.  As such, the proposal is considered contrary to Policy R2 of the Trafford Core Strategy, and the National Planning Policy Framework.
