APPLICATION FOR PLANNING PERMISSION 99829/FUL/20 - LAND AT CIRCLE COURT, BARTON ROAD, STRETFORD

Minutes:

[Note: Councillor Cordingley declared a Personal and Prejudicial Interest in Application 99829/FUL/20, due to his involvement.  After making representations to the Committee he remained in the meeting but did not participate in the debate or cast a vote on the Application.]

 

The Head of Planning and Development submitted a report concerning an application for planning permission for the erection of a 9-storey hotel (use class C1) comprising 197 bedrooms, formation of a new vehicular access onto Barton Road; associated parking and servicing areas; landscaping; provision of a detached sub-station and associated development thereto.

 

It was moved and seconded that planning permission be refused.

 

The motion was put to the vote and declared carried.

 

              RESOLVED:  That planning permission be refused for the following reasons:

 

(1)            The proposed development, by reason of its siting, scale, height, massing and external appearance would result in an unduly cramped, dominant and obtrusive form of development, which would be out of keeping with the character of the surrounding area. Moreover, the development would result in the loss of trees within the site which it is unable to successfully mitigate with replacement planting because of the development's cramped layout. As such, the proposed development represents poor design, which would have a detrimental impact on the character and visual appearance of the street scene and the surrounding area. It is therefore considered that it would fail to comply with Policy L7 of the Trafford Core Strategy and the National Planning Policy Framework, and the National Design Guide.

 

(2)            The proposed scheme represents an unsustainable form of development with limited accessibility to sustainable modes of transport and a reliance on private car journeys. The development would generate an additional demand for car parking which cannot be accommodated on the site in a satisfactory manner, resulting in vehicles being forced to park on the surrounding road network to the detriment of highway safety and residential amenity. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies L4 and L7 of the Trafford Core Strategy, SPD3: Parking Standards and Design and the National Planning Policy Framework. 

 

(3)            The proposed vehicular access, with substandard visibility splays, would pose an unacceptable risk to highway safety on a busy road in close proximity to schools, a petrol filling station and residential properties. The proposed development is therefore contrary to Policies L4 and L7 of the Trafford Core Strategy, SPD3: Parking Standards and Design and the National Planning Policy Framework.

APPLICATION FOR PLANNING PERMISSION 100737/FUL/20 - 34 GREEN COURTS, GREEN WALK, BOWDON

Minutes:

The Head of Planning and Development submitted a report concerning an application for planning permission for the change of use of dwellinghouse into 3 residential units with the erection of a two-storey side extension, including minor alterations to existing elevations and the creation of two new bin stores.

 

It was moved and seconded that planning permission be refused.

 

The motion was put to the vote and declared lost.

 

It was moved and seconded that planning permission be granted subject to an additional condition requiring the provision of one additional parking space.

 

The motion was put to the vote and declared carried.

 

              RESOLVED:  That planning permission be granted subject to the conditions now determined, with the removal of Condition 9 (as detailed in the Additional Information Report) due to duplication and subject to a further condition as follows:-

 

(9)          The residential units hereby permitted shall not be occupied unless and until the six car parking spaces shown on the approved site layout plan, received by the local planning authority on 14th September 2020, have been provided. The approved parking spaces shall be retained thereafter for the parking of vehicles.

 

              Reason: In the interests of highway safety and residential amenity, having regard to Policies L4 and L7 of the Trafford Core Strategy and the National Planning Policy Framework.
