APPLICATION FOR PLANNING PERMISSION 98127/FUL/19 - UNIT 1, ALTRINCHAM RETAIL PARK, GEORGE RICHARDS WAY, ALTRINCHAM

Minutes:

The Head of Planning and Development submitted a report concerning an application for planning permission for an extension, refurbishment and subdivision of the existing Homebase store to provide a downsized unit for Homebase and a new Class A1 retail unit. The application also proposes the relocation of the Homebase garden centre, the reconfiguration of the existing car park and associated landscaping, and the creation of a new egress from the site.

 

It was moved and seconded that planning permission be granted.

 

The motion was put to the vote and declared lost.

 

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

 

(1)There is a sequentially preferable site which is available within a reasonable period and also potentially suitable to accommodate the proposed foodstore development.  When demonstrating flexibility on issues such as format and scale, it has not been adequately demonstrated by the applicant that this alternative site is not suitable.   As such, it is considered that the application proposal fails to satisfy the sequential test at paragraph 86 of the NPPF and thus a reason to refuse the application at paragraph 90 of the NPPF applies.  The proposal is also contrary to saved Policy S11 of the Revised Trafford Unitary Development Plan and Policy W2 of the Trafford Core Strategy.

 

(2)The proposed development involves the introduction of a new point of egress for customer traffic onto George Richards Way which has the potential to introduce significant vehicular conflict.  It has not been adequately demonstrated by the applicant that this would not have an unacceptable impact on highway safety and thus a reason to refuse the application at paragraph 109 of the NPPF applies.  The proposal is also contrary to Policy L4 of the Trafford Core Strategy.
