DEVELOPMENT CONTROL COMMITTEE

30 April 2008 at 7.30 pm MEMBERS: Councillor John Leach (Chair), Councillor Janet Lowne (Vice-

Chair) and Councillors Margaret Court, Peter Geiringer, Paddy Kane, Paul Scully, Tony Shields, Simon Wales and Graham Whitham.

Officers: Karen Fossett, John Rawlinson, Andy Webber, Marcus Edwards, Charles Ward and Peter Snow.

Also present: Councillors Richard Bailey, Cliff Carter and Jayne McCoy.

1. MINUTES The Minutes of the meeting held on 16 April 2008 were approved as a correct record, and signed by the Chair. 2. SHOTFIELD HEALTH CENTRE, SHOTFIELD, WALLINGTON - APPLICATION NO. D2008/59176/FUL The Committee considered a report on the above application for the demolition of the existing building and the erection of a three storey building to provide a new health centre and pharmacy; the provision of bicycle storage, car parking spaces for doctor and disabled persons and alteration to vehicular access; new landscaping and pedestrian access to Jubilee Gardens. Officers recommended that, if permission were granted, an additional condition be added to secure ‘Designing Out Crime Accreditation’. In response to questions officers confirmed that there would be adequate provision for the access and parking of an ambulance; and that the proposed three storey building would create less shade in Jubilee Gardens in summer than winter. They believed that the benefits of the new health centre and the upgrading of the Gardens would outweigh the disadvantage of any additional shading. They also explained that ‘grey’ water recycling provision had not been included because it was not appropriate in a health centre. Mr Dan Billin, a resident, and Councillors Richard Bailey and Jayne McCoy, ward councillors, addressed the meeting under Standing Order 33, and, Mr Andrew Grimes, for the Sutton and Merton Primary Care Trust, and Dr Heather Lings, one of the applicants, replied. The principal issues raised by Mr Billin were:-

• The Heathdene Residents’ Group, which he represented, was in favour of the application

• He believed the application satisfied the Council’s Unitary Development Plan

• The proposal was an improvement on the previously refused application The principal issues raised by Councillors Bailey and McCoy were:-

• There would be less impact on Wallington town centre • The design was an improvement on the previous application and more sympathetic in style to surrounding buildings

• The proposal overcame previous objections • Jubilee Gardens would become a more attractive adjunct to Library Gardens and an important link to Wallington town centre

The principal issues raised by Mr Grimes and Dr Lings were:-

Agenda Item 1Page 1

• The proposal would enable the medical practice to stay in Wallington town centre

• The proposed building was designed to accommodate future growth in the medical practice and enable training to be provided

A poll vote was held in accordance with Standing Order 33.4, when there voted: To grant (9) Councillors Margaret Court, Peter Geiringer, Paddy Kane,

John Leach, Janet Lowne, Paul Scully, Tony Shields, Simon Wales and Graham Whitham

Resolved: That planning permission be granted for application No.

D2008/59176/FUL, subject to (a) the written conclusion of a ‘section 106’ agreement within a period of six months from the date of this decision, or such longer period as may be agreed in writing by the Executive Head of Planning, Transportation and Highways, after which time the decision to grant planning permission will be rescinded; and (b) the conditions, reasons and informatives set out in the Appendix to these Minutes.

Councillors Richard Bailey and Paul Scully each declared a personal interest in the application because they were patients of the medical practice. 3. BEDDINGTON FARMLANDS LANDFILL SITE, BEDDINGTON LANE, BEDDINGTON - APPLICATION NO. - D2005/54794/FUL The Committee considered a report on the above application for the extension of the existing waste management centre, comprising the construction of a plant for the anaerobic digestion of household waste, an extension of landfilling, the export of clay, formation of a temporary clay stockpile, variation of the landfill phasing and approved restoration scheme, the installation of two additional gas engines, and an extension on the duration of the operational use of the site. Officers submitted additional comments from the Council’s Biodiversity Officer and the Greater London Authority, their response thereto, amendments by the applicant to the proposed scheme of restoration, additional information regarding the terms of the proposed ‘Section 106’ agreement, and an additional recommended condition concerning the cessation of operations. In response to questions officers explained that a sacrificial crop field was one grown for its wildlife value; that the A232 and A236 roads were Croydon Road and Mitcham Road respectively; that the Council’s highways engineers believed that the impact of the proposals would not cause significant detriment to local roads; and that the alternative to the proposals would be an increase in traffic movements to transport waste outside the Borough. They confirmed that the applicant’s contribution of £25,000 for environmental improvements would form part of the proposed ‘Section 106’ agreement and that the landfill operation would not increase the risk of flooding in the local area – and could reduce it. Mr Roger Miles, the applicant’s agent, was present and, in response to questions, confirmed that currently there was no limit on the number of transport movements, that there had originally been a limit of 460 such movements annually, and that number was presently approximately 350 such movements. Most of the present transport movements were for gravel extraction which would cease in 2009 when the proposed anaerobic digestion plant was operational. A poll vote was held in accordance with Standing Order 33.4, when there voted: To grant (9) Councillors Margaret Court, Peter Geiringer, Paddy Kane,


Resolved: That, the Mayor of London be recommended to grant planning

permission for application No. D2005/54794/FUL, subject to (a) the written

conclusion of a ‘section 106’ agreement within a period of six months from the date of this decision, or such longer period as may be agreed in writing by the Executive Head of Planning, Transportation and Highways, after which time the decision to grant planning permission will be rescinded; and (b) the conditions, reasons and informatives set out in the Appendix to these Minutes.

4. RELIGIOUS MEETING HALL, 104 AND 106 BENHILL WOOD ROAD, SUTTON - APPLICATION NO. B2007/58709/FUL The Committee considered a report on the above application for the demolition of the existing buildings, including a meeting hall, and the erection of a three storey building to provide a 26-bedroom nursing home incorporating a day care centre, and the erection of 14 three, four and five-bedroom houses in a mixture of two and three storey buildings; the provision of 36 car parking spaces; and the formation of a new access onto Benhill Wood road and All Saints Road. The application had been de-delegated by Councillors Cliff Carter and Ruth Dombey, but would have been referred to the Committee in any event because it constituted a major development and the level of support was contrary to the officers’ recommendation. In response to questions officers explained that the proposed replacement hall in Carshalton was considered to be too far away to comply with the Council’s policy that it should be ‘in the vicinity’; the concern about the car-led design of the proposed housing referred to the perpendicular parking on All Saints Road and the layout of the access road; there was a lack of high quality landscaping; and the existing houses in All Saints Road were set back from the highway whereas those proposed were not. They believed the site would also lend itself to a better mix of housing. Mr John Amos, an objector, and Councillor Cliff Carter, a ward councillor, addressed the meeting under Standing Order 33, and Mr Kevin Stanley replied for the applicant. The principal issues raised by Mr Amos were:-

• Overlooking of his property • An adverse effect on his privacy • Damage to trees on his property and his neighbour’s property • The unnecessary building of a boundary wall

Officers explained that there would not be any flank windows overlooking Mr Amos’s property, that the existing boundary hedge was to be retained, and that an Ash tree which was the subject of a tree preservation order could be threatened by the proposed development. Mr Amos believed that the trees on his property were not the subject of a tree preservation order. The principal issues raised by Councillor Carter were:-

• The proposed nursing home would be out of character with the area • Increased traffic and parking on existing busy roads would compromise highway safety

• The expected loss of trees would be detrimental to the amenity of the area The principal issues raised by Mr Stanley were:-

• It was believed the application complied with Council policy • The site was outside a sustainable residential area • The housing density was commensurate with the character of the area • It was proposed to retain only the healthy trees on the site and to plant new ones

• There would be no loss of use of the hall for local residents • There was no intention to build a 1.8 metre boundary wall, as had been suggested

Agenda Item 1Page 3

Members noted that the proposal would represent a change of use for the site and indicated a preference for houses, rather than flats. They accepted the argument that, as the hall was used exclusively by the applicants, its demolition could not lead to the loss of a public facility. They were concerned, however, about the apparent loss of trees on the site and the damage that what appeared to be a cramped form of development would cause to those that were retained. In summary, members believed that the applicants needed to address the proposed layout and mix of the houses, the possible damage to retained trees and the concerns about car parking and vehicle access. The Chair noted that there was a need for a new care home and for family houses in the Borough, but with some reluctance suggested the Committee accept the officers’ recommendation to refuse. A poll vote was held in accordance with Standing Order 33.4, when there voted: To grant (1) Councillor Paddy Kane To refuse (8) Councillors Margaret Court, Peter Geiringer, John Leach,

Janet Lowne, Paul Scully, Tony Shields, Simon Wales and Graham Whitham

Resolved: That planning permission for application No. B2007/58709/FUL

be refused for the reasons and informatives set out in the Appendix to these Minutes.

5. FORMER BIBRA SITE, WOODMANSTERNE ROAD, CARSHALTON - APPLICATION NO. C2007/58839/OUT The Committee considered a report on the above outline application to determine layout, scale, appearance and access for a gospel hall with car parking facilities, and two, two storey, four-bedroom detached houses and 12 two storey, five-bedroom detached houses, each with double garage, together with a new access road to serve both developments. In response to questions officers confirmed that, if permission were granted, the applicant would be required to submit a safe and secure lighting scheme for approval, and that, whilst each application had to be considered on its merits, other sites within the ‘green belt’ could be vulnerable. They confirmed that there was no objection to the anticipated traffic that would be generated by regular meetings in the proposed gospel hall, and that the applicants intended to transport most people by coach on the infrequent occasions when a larger congregation was invited. They also confirmed that there were no windows in the proposed gospel hall, which contributed to its unattractive design. It was noted that the primary school at present on the site had only a temporary planning consent until 2010. Mr Dan Billin, an objector and Mr John Willoughby, representing the Diamond Riding Centre addressed the meeting under Standing Order 33, and Mr Kevin Stanley replied for the applicant. The principal issues raised by Mr Billin were:-

• He believed the officers’ report to be an accurate appraisal • The fact that the site was poorly maintained was not justification for its development

• There were no special circumstances to justify development • Consent to the proposal would risk creating a precedent

The principal issues raised by Mr Willoughby were:-

• The Diamond Riding Centre adjoined the application site and had a good relationship with the applicants

• The Centre supported the application



5

• The Centre used part of the application site for grazing • A more intensive development in future could mean the loss of invaluable grazing land for the Centre

The principal issues raised by Mr Stanley were:-

• The proposal would replace existing premises that were cramped • Many members of the Gospel Trust lived closer to the new site than the existing one and most lived and worked in the Borough

• Some sort of redevelopment was inevitable • The existing buildings were unusable and there had not been any response to marketing them

• The proposal would retain existing green fields • The proposed new buildings would be on the site of the existing buildings • The proposed gospel hall would be screened from the road and would create a break between the proposed houses and open land.

• Congregations as large as 1,000 would occur approximately once each year • It was believed traffic generation would be no greater than for the previous use

• If permission were granted the finish of the gospel hall would be a reserved matter

Members assumed that the decision in 1963 to locate the previous use on the application site had been taken because of a cautious approach and the need for isolation. They noted that the applicants had been aware of the planning restrictions of the site. Members believed that the design of the proposed gospel hall did not represent an improvement on the existing buildings; and indicated that the use of a large number of coaches to transport visitors on a Sunday could not be supported, albeit that they would contribute to a range of modes of travel; that, if granted, the proposal would create a precedent; and that the level of car parking proposed would not be an issue. They noted that Transport for London had been asked to provide a bus service in Woodmansterne Road and that there was no public footpath on the east side. They accepted that the existing buildings would be replaced with some form of development but believed that the current application required further work, particularly regarding the intensification of use. A poll vote was held in accordance with Standing Order 33.4, when there voted: To refuse (9) Councillors Margaret Court, Peter Geiringer, Paddy Kane,


Resolved: That planning permission for application No. C2007/58839/OUT

be refused for the reasons and informatives set out in the Appendix to these Minutes.

6. PLANNING APPEALS SUMMARY

Resolved: To note the summary of recent planning appeal decisions for the period December 2007 to March 2008 and to congratulate the officers on the number of appeals dismissed.

Also, reference should be made to Pollution Prevention Guidelines: Above Ground Oil Storage Tanks: PPG2 February 2004 and Pollution Prevention Guidelines: Storage and handling of drums and intermediate bulk containers: PPG26 February 2004. RELIGIOUS MEETING HALL, 104 AND 106 BENHILL WOOD ROAD, SUTTON - APPLICATION NO. B2007/58709/FUL (1) The design and layout of the proposed development is unacceptable and indicates a car-led approach, resulting in the property frontages being dominated by car parking. This would cause the development to appear dominant in the streetscene and appear as a cramped form of development, which would be out of keeping with the spacious character of the area. The proposal is thereby contrary to policies BE1 and BE4 of the Sutton Unitary Development Plan 2003. (2) The proposed parking and access arrangements would result in a high number of vehicles having to reverse onto All Saints Road and Benhill Wood Road, which would unacceptably compromise pedestrian and highway safety in the area. The proposal is therefore contrary to policies TRN12 and TRN18 of the Sutton Unitary Development Plan 2003. (3) The proposed amount of site coverage would result in the substantial loss of existing trees within the site, would place unacceptable pressure on trees to be retained and would provide limited area for replacement planting. This would result in a significant reduction in landscape quality in the area, contrary to policy BE12 of the Sutton Unitary Development Plan 2003.

FORMER BIBRA SITE, WOODMANSTERNE ROAD, CARSHALTON - APPLICATION NO. C2007/58839/OUT (1) The proposal is inappropriate development harmful to the Metropolitan Green Belt in conflict with government policy as set out in PPG2, Green Belts, London Plan Policy 3D.9 and Sutton UDP Policy G/OE1. There are considered to be no very special circumstances that outweigh the harm that would be caused to the Green Belt. (2) The gospel hall, by reason of its bulk, detailed design and industrial appearance, would detract from the character and appearance of this part of the Green Belt contrary to Policy BE1 of the Sutton Unitary Development Plan. (3) The site, which is in a relatively remote location with limited access to public transport, fails to offer safe and easy access to a range of transport modes other than the car and therefore offers limited opportunity to promote sustainable travel patterns, contrary to government policy as set out in PPG13, Transport, London Plan Policy 3C.1 and Sutton Unitary Development Plan Policies G/TR5, TR18 and TR20.

DEVELOPMENT CONTROL COMMITTEE – Date: 28 May 2008

Report of the Executive Head of Planning, Transportation and Highways.

Ref: D2008/59420/FUL WARD: D17 / BEDDINGTON NTH

Time Taken: 10 weeks, 5 days.

Site: Land Adj. To 76 Upper Road Wallington Surrey SM6 8JY

Proposal: Erection of a detached 4-bedroomed house with roof accommodation, provision of two car parking spaces and alterations to vehicular access.

Applicant: Mr Gordon King

Agent: Mr Shaun Graham

Recommendation:

GRANT PLANNING PERMISSION

Reason for Report to Committee: The application has been de-delegated by

Councillor Slark.

Summary of why application proposal is acceptable:

The level of intensity, design, scale and siting of the development would be compatible with surrounding area and would not harm the character and appearance of the area or the amenities of neighbouring residents.

1.0 BACKGROUND

1.1 Site:

1.2 The subject site relates to a large rectangular plot with direct frontage and existing access from Upper Road, Wallington.. An existing single storey garage exists near the front of the property and several old, dilapidated vehicles are currently stored on the site. The property is overgrown in part and enclosed within various gates and close-board fencing.

1.3 The western part of Upper Road is a public highway, approximately 40m in length and terminates at a cul-de-sac head. The remainder of the roadway, approximately 90 metres long, is a narrow unadopted (private) sealed road, which is a continuation of the formal Upper Road highway. The narrow unadopted stretch of Upper Road serves a number of dwellings as well as the application site.

1.4 The surrounding area is characterised by existing residential development, with various forms and styles of housing evident; from single storey bungalows to detached and semi-detached houses and two storey terraces. A public house (The Harrow) is located to the rear (north) of the site and the rear gardens of several properties adjoin the site to the east and southeast.


1.5 Site specific UDP designation:

1.6 The application site is located within the Sandy Lane / Upper Road Area of Special Local Character as defined in the Proposals Map of the Sutton UDP.

1.7 Relevant Planning History:

1.8 07/58750/FUL – Erection of a detached 4-bedroomed house with roof accommodation, provision of two car parking spaces and alteration to vehicular access. Application refused (7 January 2008) for the following reason:

The proposed development would adversely affect the amenities of the adjoining occupiers at No. 76 Upper Rod, in terms of the outlook from the rear living room window, due to its height, rear projection and proximity to the boundary. The application is therefore contrary to Policies BE4 and HSG1 of the Sutton Unitary Development Plan.

1.9 06/56805/FUL – Erection of a pair of 2-bedroomed 2-storey houses each with a car parking space. Application withdrawn.

2.0 APPLICATION PROPOSALS

2.1 Details of Proposal:

2.2 Planning permission is sought to erect a 4-bedroomed house with roof accommodation, provide two car parking spaces on the site and alter the existing vehicular access.

2.3 The proposed house would be two-storey and largely square in shape. The dwelling itself would measure 7m in width, 8.2m in depth with a gable end roof at 9.5m in height. A single storey rear structure together with a two-storey side projection is also proposed for the dwelling. The proposed single storey rear element would form part of the proposed kitchen / dining area. The side projection with gable end pitched roof would be set below the main ridge and form part of the lounge (ground floor) and the bedroom and bathroom (first floor).

2.4 The proposed house would be sited 4.6m back from the front boundary (Upper Road frontage), set 1m in from the western side boundary and up against the eastern side boundary.

2.5 The proposed dwelling would be finished in fairfaced multistock brick and smooth white render, with slate roof. White uPVC windows and painted softwood doors are proposed for the fenestration. Various windows and doors are proposed for each of the elevations and across most floor levels.

2.6 A large area of hardstanding (paving) is proposed for the front of the site. A patio is proposed to the rear of the house together with a paved side accessway along the western boundary.


2.7 The current application differs from the previously refused scheme in that the rear part of the proposed west side elevation has been set in from the boundary and the adjoining property (No. 76 Upper Road), so as to protect and preserve the outlook for these residents.

3.0 PUBLICITY

3.1 Adjoining Occupiers Notified

3.2 Method of Notification: 30 consultation letters were delivered to surrounding occupants and a site notice was erected near the site.

3.3 Number of Letters Received: 3.

3.4 Addresses of letters: Upper Road (2) and Plough Lane (1).

3.5 Summary of material responses:

The house is too close to boundary and will result in an unacceptable loss of sunlight and daylight.

The proposed windows and doors would overlook the adjoining house and garden, thereby affecting privacy.

At such close proximity the noise from the house will be objectionable.

The building is higher than those along Upper Road and will not be in-keeping with the area.

Upper Road is narrow and delivery and construction vehicles will block access to properties.

Additional traffic from the site would be untenable; Upper Road can barely cope with the present volume of traffic from residents, visitors and deliveries.

The protected (?) mature Beech tree to the rear of the site (located on neighbouring property) is much more extensive than the plans suggest. The proposal will damage this tree.

There are insufficient areas for vehicles to manoeuvre on the site.

The proposed dwelling would not follow the existing building line.

3.6 Councillor representation: Councillor Stark has requested that the application be de-delegated, on the grounds of over-development and development not in character with surrounding area.

The area immediately surrounding the application site and along Upperhas little uniformity or pattern, in that bungalows, semi-detached, detached and terraced dwellings are all present.

The proposed dwelling, by reason of its bulk and height would inevitably result in the loss of some morning sunlight along the side of the directly adjoiningproperty; namely 76 Upper Road. A side flank door exists on the ground floor oNo. 76 Upper Road but is not a primary light source for existing residents. Whereas the rear (north) facing window to the rear of No. 76 is a primary light source, however the design and layout of the proposal would not compromise the current levels of light re

lighting or shadows cast.

The proposed two storey dwelling would lead to the loss of some daylight at Upper Road, however the proposed separation distance of between 1.8m and 4m between the dwellings would ensure that the sufficient daylight reaches each of the dwellings. The proposal would not unacceptably reduce the levdaylight in the existing rear facing (north) windows at No. 76 Upper Road. This has been established using the “45 degree” recession plane guidance, as established by the Building Research Establishment (BRE). The location existing window and the layout and siting of the proposed dwe

A number of windows are proposed for the side flank walls of the dwelling, thereby potentially affecting the privacy of adjoining and surrounding residents. The side flank windows on the east side elevation would serve the stairwell, and the bathroom in the roof space. The windows in the stairwell on the ground and first floor would not lead to a sense of overlooking , given that they are non habitable rooms. Similarly the bathroom window in the roof accommodation can be fitted with obscure glazing to ensure that the privacy of adjoining occupants is adequately protected. Overall, there would be no unacceptable impact onprivacy of adjoining residents to the east of the site (i.e. 51 & 53 Plough Lane)The high level window on the west side elevation would s

The tree is deciduous and has a large canopy that stretches out over a significant portion of the subject sites rear garden and adjoining gardens. Therefore given the trees size and canopy cover, there is potential for the treeto come under pressure for pruning and thinning, which in turn may threaten the overall health and amenity value of the tree. In order to gain greater light into the rear of the site, future occupants of the proposed dwelling may seek to prune or thin parts of the tree that overhang the site.

DEVELOPMENT CONTROL COMMITTEE - Date: 28th May 2008.


Ref: D2007/58880/FUL WARD: D17 / BEDDINGTON NTH

Time Taken: 26 weeks, 2 days.

Site: 154A Beddington Lane and land in Coomber Way Beddington Surrey CR0 4TE

Proposal: Extension of existing waste management centre to provide a storage area for recycled products and a tyre shredding facility and reduction of parking provision from 23 to 15 spaces.

Applicant: 777 Demolition & Haulage Co. Ltd.

Agent: Robert Le Clerc

Recommendation:

GRANT PLANNING PERMISSION subject to the prior written conclusion of a Section 106 legal agreement within a period of six months from the date of this resolution, or such longer period as may be agreed in writing by the Executive Head of Planning, Transportation and Highways, after which time the resolution to grant will be rescinded.

Reason for report to Committee: Major application with a recommendation for

approval.

Summary of why the application is acceptable:

The proposal will be of acceptable size, siting , design and

appearance so as not to detract from the character of the area

or present an overly dominant feature in the street scene.

The submitted acoustic report has demonstrated that the

likely noise level from the tyre shedding plant would not

materially harm the amenities of people within the

surrounding offices.

The reduced level of on-site car parking spaces would still

satisfy current Council standards and would not adversely

affect current highway conditions.

1.0 BACKGROUND

2.0 Site:

3.0 The application site relates to a large plot (0.91ha), comprising two amalgamated titles, on the northern side of Coomber Way, Beddington. The site is located within the heart of the Beddington Industrial Area. The site along the Coomber Way frontage is square in shape and an elongated rectangular ‘arm’ of land exists to the rear (north) and extends west, adjoining Beddington


Lane. The application site is currently used as a waste management and recycling centre.

4.0 An expansive single storey, ‘L’ shaped building exists to the rear of the site (northeastern corner). This building contains various heavy machinery and plant associated with processing and recycling waste and building material. A smaller single storey building is sited near the southwestern corner of the site and comprises the administrative offices and weighbridge facilities. Numerous ‘skip’ bins are located around the site for the transportation of building materials for recycling.

5.0 The entire site is sealed in asphalt and/or concrete and a number of car parks exist around the periphery of the site and near the administration building. The Coomber Way frontage is bound by 2m high palisade fencing and landscaping strip. The narrow Beddington Lane frontage is also enclosed by 2m palisade fencing.

6.0 A vertical ground level variance of 3.5-4m exists between the larger front part of the site and the elongated rectangular parcel to the rear. A ramp providing vehicular access to the lower section is located along the western boundary. The main access point to the site for heavy vehicles is located along the Coomber Way frontage and additional vehicular access is also provided from the Beddington Lane.

7.0 Surroundings:

8.0 The surrounding area is predominantly characterised by large industrial buildings set within large plots with little landscaping and high levels of heavy vehicular activity. A vast warehouse building is located directly over Coomber Way, whilst a concrete processing and distributing plant adjoins the site to the north. To the west is a row of four warehousing units, each also containing ancillary office accommodation (Units 1-4, Coomber Way Industrial Estate). Beddington Lane is a classified road (B272).

9.0 Site Specific UDP Designation:

10.0 The site is located within an Archaeological Priority Area, Preferred Location for High-Tech, Light Industry, General Industry and Warehousing Uses and Beddington Lane is situated on the Cycle Network.

A separate four storey element to provide ancillary office and staff accommodation together with car and HGV parking, maintenance of HGV vehicles and formation of a new vehicular access from Beddington Lane. Application granted – 5 February 1996.

93/37731/FUL- Use of land as a waste transfer station and contractor’s plant yard and provision of a partially enclosed waste transfer bay. Application granted – 7 March 1994.



14.0 Full planning permission is sought to erect an extension to the existing waste management centre building. The proposed extension would provide an additional storage area for recycling products and will also housing a tyre shedding facility. The proposal will result in the reduction of the level of parking on the site, from 23 to 15 parking spaces.

15.0 The proposed extension would encompass 1,445sqm, and would have a total length of 93m, whilst reaching 12.5m in height, with single sloping roof falling to 7.2m at the eaves. The extension would have a maximum width of 19.4m, reduced to 13m at the Beddington Lane frontage. An integrated lean-to type structure is sought for the Beddington Lane frontage.

16.0 The walls and roof of the extension would be clad in colour coated (light grey) profiled steel composite panels with matching corner and door flashings. The extension would be largely void of any fenestration, with the exception of two large vehicle openings; one on the west elevation (Beddington Lane frontage) and another on the south elevation, at the bottom of the existing access ramp.

17.0 The proposed tyre shredder will be installed and contained within the proposed extension to the existing waste management and recycling centre building. This tyre recycling facility will provide shredded material for use as a sports surface and other uses. The facility will be capable of handling up to 100 tonnes of material per day, is electronically powered and will be operated by two existing employees. An acoustic report / noise assessment has been prepared and submitted with the application addressing the potential impact of this facilities on adjoining properties.

18.0 The proposal includes reducing the level of existing on-site car parking from 23 to 15 spaces. Six staff car parking spaces are to be created in front of the proposed extension with access from Beddington Lane. The remaining car park


would remain adjacent to the administration building near the southern corner of the site.

19.0 PUBLICITY

20.0 Adjoining Occupiers Notified – Yes.

21.0 Method of Notification: 46 consultation letters were sent out to surrounding owners / occupiers, 2 site notices were erected and a press notice was published.

22.0 Number of Letters Received: 1

23.0 Addresses of letters: Unit 2, Coomber Way Industrial Estate.

24.0 Summary of material responses:

55.0 The principal considerations in relation to this application are:

56.0 Design

57.0 Impact on Neighbours

58.0 Traffic, Parking & Access

59.0 Archaeological

60.0 Content of Legal Agreement

61.0 Design:


62.0 Policy BE1 encourages new developments to incorporate the basic elements of good urban design and complement good quality elements of the existing urban fabric and enhance those areas that need improving.

63.0 The proposed extension is a long narrow structure, which would enclose the existing yard area that exists between the large waste management and recycling building in the centre of the site and the Beddington Lane frontage. The extension would align with the exterior of the existing building and follow the ‘step’ along the northern boundary. The proposed single sloping roof profile would integrate with and present a continuation of the existing roofline. The proposal would be finished and clad in colour coated profiled steel composite panels coloured light grey.

64.0 The extensions elongated shape, single-sloping roof profile and limited road frontage would ensure that the proposal would have little visual presence in the street scene. The extensions height and perceived mass would be well set back from the Beddington Lane and partially obscured by the surrounding buildings. Therefore, the proposal would not appear overly dominant or detract from the appearance of the site.

65.0 The surrounding area is characterised by a mixture of industrial activities, with a concrete distribution yard located directly to the north. Adjoining the site and the proposed extension to the south is a row of six commercial units, which are located on an elevated building platform, due to the variation in ground levels in the immediate area. The entrance to the Beddington Farm Landfill site is located directly over Beddington Lane from the application site. The proposal to extend an existing industrial premise would not detract from or compromise the character of the industrial area, given the presence of a variety of large buildings and activities in the immediate vicinity.


67.0 Sunlight, daylight, privacy and outlook.

68.0 Policy BE4 seeks to ensure that the relationship between new and existing buildings do not prejudice the proper use of the accommodation. BE5 requires that new or replacement building received adequate daylight and sunlight and avoids creating unacceptable shadows on adjoining buildings or land.

69.0 A row of four warehouse units with ancillary office accommodation, are sited directly to the south of the proposed extension and tyre shedder facility. There are no side flank windows in the north facing elevation of the nearest warehouse unit (No. 4). Therefore the proposal will not adversely impact the daylight or sunlight levels into the ancillary offices of these premises. As the application site and adjoining properties all contain and provide for non-residential activities, the proposal to extend the waste management centre would not harm the privacy of or outlook from any adjoining property.

70.0 Directly to the north of the site is an existing concrete distribution centre, with various plant and facilities located close to the boundary. Given the current activities undertaken on this site and those in the immediate surrounds, the proposal would not adversely affect those personnel using the site.


71.0 Noise, dust and odours.

72.0 PPG24 notes “ much of the development which is necessary for the creation of jobs and the construction and improvement of essential infrastructure will generate noise. The planning system should not place unjustifiable obstacles in the way of such development. Nevertheless, local planning authorities must ensure that development does not cause an unacceptable degree of disturbance”. Policy 4A.20 of the London Plan states that the Mayor will and boroughs should reduce noise by minimising the existing and potential adverse effects of noise on, from, within, or in the vicinity of, development proposals.

73.0 G/PNR1 seeks to ensure that pollution, noise and light arising from new development is limited to levels, which ensure the protection of the air, land and water environment in the borough. Policy PNR1 states that for potentially polluting development, the Council will take into account – the likely impacts of air pollution on neighbouring land-uses, environmental quality and local amenity; the prevention of nuisance and the need to protect residential and other sensitive areas from air pollution; and the likely impact on traffic generation.

74.0 The applicant has commissioned and submitted a noise report / assessment which states that the building is to have double skinned insulated walls (along the long flank wall and end wall) to the nearest office. The remaining walls and roof are to be single skinned. Following previous discussion with the Council Environmental Health Officers, the closest windows to the proposed tyre shedder facility have been identified as those in the office building to the west, which are approximately 10m from the proposed shedder. The offices to the south-east are located further away at 40m.

75.0 The assessment provided outlines that with the shedder inside the building, the predicted noise levels outside would be below the external ambient noise levels previously measured. It is concluded that the prevailing daytime environments within the nearest offices to the extension should not be unduly effected. The Council Environmental Health Officer has reviewed the submitted noise report and has no objection to the proposal; provided the shedder is housed within the part single, part double skinned building. These details will be further secured by way of condition.

76.0 The one objector has raised concern over potential odour and dust disturbance from the proposed and existing activities. The applicant has installed several dust suppression controls throughout the site, including time-activated sprinklers, mist curtains and manual dousing of hard surfaces, in order to control airborne dust from within the recycling building and from vehicular activity. These measures have been observed and are considered acceptable in reducing any potential dust disturbance.

77.0 Given that tyres are to be stored and recycled within the proposed extension there is little potential for odour nuisance to occur. The applicant has advised that any materials that are imported into the site that results in odour nuisance will be removed immediately to a disposal facility.


78.0 Traffic, Parking & Access:

79.0 The proposal includes reducing the level of existing on-site car parking from 23 to 15 spaces. This is sought in order to create more operational space within the existing yard area. It has been noted by the applicants agent that the company (777 Demolition & Haulage Co. Ltd) have relocated its head office to nearby 158 Beddington Lane, thereby reducing the number of staff on site and the resultant demand for parking

80.0 The application has been circulated to the Council Highways Department who has noted that the level of parking provided will still be within the Council parking standards. Several conditions are recommended to ensure parking spaces remain available for use, cycle parking and facilities are provided and to ensure the site does not unduly affect the public highway during the construction phase.

81.0 Archaeological:

82.0 PPG16 advises Council to request developers to arrange for archaeological field evaluations. Policy BE40 seeks to ensure that before development proposals within Archaeological Priority Areas are considered, that preliminary archaeological field evaluations are undertaken in accordance with a written scheme of investigation to be approved in advance by Council.

83.0 English Heritage (Archaeological Advisory Service) have advised that the earlier development on the site was subject to archaeological condition that demonstrated that the area was part of the extensive quarry that had otherwise been recorded for the area to the immediate southeast. On balance it does not appear likely that this development scheme would affect archaeological consequently, it has been recommended that any requirement for pre or post-determination archaeological assessment for the site can be waived.

84.0 Content of Legal Agreement:

85.0 The following matters are to be included in a Section 106 legal agreement / Unilateral Undertaking:

Monetary contribution of £6,936 for sustainable transport improvements;

86.0 Calculations for the contributions have been based on the Net increase in floor area, in accordance with Supplementary Planning Document 5: Planning Obligations.


88.0 The proposal to erect an extension to provide for a tyre shedding facility and storage area is considered acceptable. The size, design and appearance of the extension would not detract from the area or appear overly dominant in the street scene. The submitted noise assessment has demonstrated that the tyre shedding plant would not materially harm the daytime working condition of those in surrounding offices. Furthermore, the reduction in the level of on-site car parking would not impact on current highway conditions.


89.0 Overall, the development proposal complies with the relevant policies of the Sutton Unitary Development Plan and it is recommended that permission be granted subject to the conditions set out below.

DEVELOPMENT CONTROL COMMITTEE - Date: 28 May 2008


Ref: A2008/59472/FUL WARD: A03 / STONECOT Time Taken: 8 weeks, 1 days

Site: Cheam Park Farm Junior School KINGSTON AVENUE North Cheam Surrey SM3 9UE

Proposal: Formation of an entrance lobby and access ramp. Minor alterations to existing ground floor elevations.

Applicant: Ms Pennyfather

Agent: Ms Pennyfather

Recommendation:

GRANT PLANNING PERMISSION

Reason for Report to Committee: Council’s own application.

The proposed works are of a relatively minor nature but will improve

access for people with disabilities whilst respecting the appearance

of the existing building through good design. There will be no

adverse impact on the amenities of adjoining residents as a result.

1.0 BACKGROUND

1.1 The site is situated on the eastern side of Kingston Avenue, in North Cheam and is occupied by Cheam Park Farm Junior School. The site is enclosed by an electric gate with a high fence at the front of the property as well as fences around the rear of the property. The school on the site compromises a large two storey building with a long plot width and flat roofed with ancillary buildings situated towards the rear.

1.2 The school grounds immediately compromise a mixture of hard surfaces and playfields.

1.3 Surroundings:

1.4 The site is set within a residential area, compromising of mainly bungalows and semi/detached properties. There are no industrial or commercial developments near to the school.

1.5 Site specific UDP designation:

1.6 The site is not covered by any specific UDP designations as set out on the adopted proposals map.



1.8 The site has a very long planning history (dating back to 1959) with approximately 25 applications being made for various alterations and extensions. The majority of these were for the siting and retention of mobile classrooms.

1.9 The previous application (A/07/58155/FUL), sought permission to erect a canopy within the school grounds to provide shelter for school children from the sun. This application was withdrawn when the school decided to purpose other options for the site.



2.2 The applicant is seeking to make a number of small alterations to the school.

2.3 The first part of the proposed development is for the erection an access ramp and landing at the front entrance to the school. The ramp would be 3.6 metres long with 0.7m for the landing area, to a width of 1.5m. The gradient of the ramp would be set at approximately 1:14. The ramp includes 1 metre high handrails.

2.4 The second part of the proposed development seeks to make amendments to the entrance lobby to the school, through the construction of a new glazed lobby whilst making internal rearrangements. The extended lobby would extend the existing entrance forward by 1.1metres to align with the front of the building line. The lobby will be 1.9m from the ground floor with a small lean to tiled roof.

2.5 The proposed glazed screen and entrance doors will include automatic sliding doors replacing the existing doors. A new door entry system linked to reception will be installed within the lobby.

2.6 As a result of internal alterations to the boys cloakroom it is proposed to make a new opening between the boys cloakroom and toilet which necessitates the closing off of the existing door to the toilet at the rear and the insertion of a new high level window to the toilet.

2.7 Significant amendments to application since submitted:

2.8 There have been no significant amendments to the scheme since it was submitted.

3.0 PUBLICITY

3.1 Adjoining Occupiers Notified

3.2 Method of Notification:


3.3 A total of 74 letters (dated 9 April 2008) were hand delivered to the surrounding and adjoining neighbours. A site notice was also erected near the site.

3.4 Number of Letters Received: 0

3.5 Official Consultation

3.6 Internal:

3.7 Due to the nature of the proposed work it was not considered necessary to consult with any internal groups

3.8 External:

3.9 Due to the nature of the proposed work it was not considered necessary to consult with any external groups.

3.10 Councillor Representation:

3.11 There have been no Councillor representations regarding this application.

4.0 MATERIAL PLANNING POLICIES

4.1 Sutton Unitary Development Plan

BE1 – Good Urban Design

BE4 – Building Relationships

BE9 – Access for Disabled People

G/CL 1 – Community and Leisure Facilities

TR18 – New Development and Transport

4.2 Supplementary Planning Guidance/Documents

SPD 14 – Creating Locally Distinctive Places


5.1 The principle considerations (including whether any material planning objections have been reasonably addressed) in relation to this application are:

Use

Design Quality

Impact on Neighbours

Layout

Traffic & Parking

Access

Sustainability

Other Relevant Material Planning Considerations

5.2 Use:

5.3 The proposed development is seeking to provide a new entrance lobby to the school with access ramp, whilst proposing internal alterations to the boys


cloakroom and janitors closet. Policy G/CL1 states that the Council will seek to maintain and enhance the provision of a wide range of community facilities, including education. The external minor alterations will not result in an increase in the number of pupils at the school. Therefore the proposed use is considered to be in line with the UDP.

5.4 Design Quality:

5.5 Policy BE1 follows from the above policy and states that proposals for new development should incorporate the basic elements of good urban design. It states 8 principles of good urban design, including (i) respect for or reinforcement of the character and identity of the area, including the buildings and their context; (ii) avoiding isolated developments which do not integrate well into the surrounding area and (iii) creation of attractive well functioning spaces within the site.

5.6 The proposed lobby, which would infill part of the building at the front is considered to be acceptable in terms of good design. The proposal would help to define the school by providing a new entrance to the school, whilst integrating into the surroundings. In order to provide security to the cloakroom area the window on the side of the entrance shall be blocked up.

5.7 The proposed alterations to the side and rear elevation to provide an increased level of security by bricking up a rear door whilst providing a high level window to the boys toilets are considered acceptable in terms of being relatively minor alterations.


5.9 The issue of overlooking is considered within Policy BE4. This states that the Council will seek to ensure that existing buildings are not affected by the loss of privacy from the proposed development. In this respect the development would not adversely affect the level of privacy enjoyed by the neighbouring properties.

5.10 The new window proposed at the rear will not result in any material increase in overlooking to adjoining neighbours.

5.11 Layout:

5.12 The proposed internal layout is considered to be acceptable as the development secures the toilet area by blocking an existing rear door so that the toilets are only accessed internally from the cloakroom.

5.13 Traffic & Parking:

5.14 Policy TR18 states that the Council will not grant planning permission if the development is likely to affect the existing and proposed transport infrastructure. Given that the development will not result in more children or adults attending the site, the development will not have an impact on parking and traffic in the surrounding area and therefore satisfies Policy TR18.

5.15 Access:


5.16 The proposed works are considered in line with Policy BE9, providing access for disabled people. The internal works are considered to be acceptable as a result of the widening of the doors in the lobby area. The proposed width and gradient of the ramp is also considered to be acceptable.

5.17 Sustainability:

5.18 Given the minor nature of these works that are primarily improving existing facilities at the school without extending its capacity, it would not be reasonable to insist on the inclusion of sustainable energy installations in this particular case.


6.1 The proposed works are of a relatively minor nature but will improve access for people with disabilities whilst respecting the appearance of the existing building through good design. There will be no adverse impact on the amenities of adjoining residents as a result.

6.2 It is therefore recommended that planning permission be granted subject to appropriate conditions.
