APPLICATION FOR PLANNING PERMISSION 101651/FUL/20 - SITE OF FORMER MKM HOUSE, WARWICK ROAD, STRETFORD

Minutes:

The Head of Planning and Development submitted a report concerning an application for planning permission for the erection of a 13 storey building to provide 88 residential apartments (Use Class C3) with associated infrastructure and landscaping.

 

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:-

 

              The proposed development by reason of its site coverage, height, scale and massing, would have a dominating and adverse impact on the streetscene, fail to integrate with and complement neighbouring development, fail to make the best of the opportunity to improve the character and quality of the area, and represent overdevelopment of the site. The proposed development is therefore contrary to Policy L7 of the Trafford Core Strategy, Policies CQ1 and CQ6 of the draft Civic Quarter Area Action Plan, the National Planning Policy Framework and the National Design Guide.

 

              The proposed development would not provide sufficient off-street car parking for occupiers of the development, including accessible car parking, which would result in:

(i)       On-street car parking generated by the development and a level of harm to residential amenity which would not be mitigated by the proposed Traffic Regulation Order measures.

(ii)      A development that was not fully accessible and useable by all sections of the community.

              The proposed development would therefore be contrary to Policies L4 and L7 of the Trafford Core Strategy, Trafford SPD3 Parking Standards and Design, Policy CQ2 of the draft Civic Quarter Area Action Plan, the National Planning Policy Framework and the National Design Guide.

 

              The proposed development, by reason of its design and layout results in an insufficient level of amenity space for future residents, and consequently a poor quality living environment, contrary to Policy L7 of the Trafford Core Strategy, Policies CQ2 and CQ6 of the draft Civic Quarter Area Action Plan, the National Planning Policy Framework and the National Design Guide.

 

              The proposed development is considered to perform differently in viability terms to generic developments within the Old Trafford area. The applicant has failed to demonstrate through the submission of a robust financial viability assessment that the development cannot support a higher level of affordable housing provision than the 10% offered, and that a development plan policy compliant tenure mix cannot be delivered. The proposed development is therefore contrary to Policy L2 of the Trafford Core Strategy, the National Planning Policy Framework and National Planning Policy Guidance on viability.
