Planning Committee – 25 th February 2009 4.1 Policy 15.10 The site is located within the Marina Tourism Development Areas and is protected by virtue of Policy TO1: Tourism Development in the Marina, which encourages tourist related facilities but also seeks to protect the areas of water within the Marina for development. There is clearly a balance to be struck here about the loss of water space and it is considered that the development of a floating hotel extension in this location would not compromise the marina and would enhance the facilities currently offered by Hartlepool. The area of water directly affected is limited in this case. 15.11 One North East has no objection to the proposal and has confirmed that the proposal aligns with the North East England Study – An Investment Action Plan and accords with the events like the Tall Ships. Affect on the Marina and surrounding area 15.12 There are residential properties to the south of the proposed extension. The proposed floating hotel would have an affect in terms of views across the marina, however it is considered that the design is innovative and unique and given the distance between the proposal and neighbouring residents it is considered the proposal would not have a significant adverse affect in terms of visual amenity. 15.13 In terms of the affect on the marina regarding activities currently enjoyed by a variety of bodies, the Council’s Adult and Community Services Team have assessed the proposal and consider that these could still occur and they support this proposal as an innovative project and a clear indication of positive economic investment. 15.14 In respect of the Hartlepool Maritime experience the Adult and Community Services team consider that the proposal is sufficiently far away and does not have a detrimental impact on the tourist attraction, nor any foreseen major events. 15.15 The agent has provided an e-mail from the Director of Hartlepool Marina who is in support of the application as he considers the development to be attractive and imaginative and would have no negative effect on the operation of the marina. Ecology 15.16 An Ecological survey has been submitted with the application which has been assessed by the Council’s Ecologist. The site of the application is outside any designated nature conservation sites. The closest designated sites are West Harbour & Middleton Beach SNCI and the ‘Bird Island’ in West Harbour, which is designated as part of the Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast SPA. This proposal is of a small enough scale and far enough away from these sites that the Council’s Ecologist does not envisage that it would have any effect on them. Although not designated for nature conservation, Jackson Dock and the Marina are used by numbers of diving birds. However it is considered that unlikely that this development 4.1 Planning 25.02.09 Pl anning apps 88
Planning Committee – 25 th February 2009 4.1 will have a significant adverse effect on them as it is relatively small in relation to the size of Jackson Dock. Flood Risk 15.17 A flood risk assessment has been submitted and is being considered by the Environment Agency. As comments are awaited an update will follow. Highways 15.18 The agent has supplied a parking survey and a Transport Assessment with the application which the Council’s Traffic and Transportation Team have assessed. It is considered that the development will not have major impact on the existing parking situation. There are no major highway implications with this application. Conclusion 15.19 It is considered that the proposed development is appropriate and would enhance the Marina. There is a presumption towards an approval of this application subject to no objection from the Environment Agency. It is anticipated that the outstanding issues will be resolved in advance of the Committee. A final recommendation will follow.
