Report Reference Number: 2012/0077/FUL Agenda Item No: 5.5 ___________________________________________________________________ To: Planning Committee Date: 12 September 2012 Author: Nancy Thynne Lead Officer: Dylan Jones (Business Manager) __________________________________________________________ _______ APPLICATION NUMBER: 8/70/81H/PA 2012/0077/FUL PARISH: Stutton Parish Council APPLICANT: PROPOSAL: LOCATION: ACJ Developments Ltd VALID DATE: 18 April 2012 EXPIRY DATE: 13 June 2012 Amendment to access with new package treatment plant Station House Weedling Gate Stutton This application has been brought before Planning Committee at the request of the local member, Councillor Metcalfe for the following reasons: “…. the site plan is amended which includes the removal of a prominent section of the old railway which provides a green corridor in this part of the village, and which also provides an environmentally acceptable break between adjoining developments which adds to their local amenity. It is viewed that if this green corridor is removed it will cause demonstrable harm to the character and form of this part of the village, remove a natural green boundary to two adjoining developments which is of amenity value to the residents of adjoining Browns Paddock and should be of value to the new proposed properties and finally, would have a negative impact on sustaining the local bio-diversity of the immediate area.” Summary: This application constitutes an amendment to a previously approved scheme for two dwellings, seeking an alteration to the approved access road and a revision to the method of foul drainage. The principle of developing the application site for residential purposes is therefore established and the principle of creating a new access into the development site from Weedling Gate has been accepted previously. 240

Having reviewed the revised scheme against the relevant local, regional and national policies the revisions to the route of the access road and the revised drainage details are considered to be acceptable in terms of their impact upon the character and appearance of the area and the proposals would not have a significant adverse impact upon residential amenity, highway safety or biodiversity. Recommendations: This application is recommended to be APPROVED subject to conditions detailed at paragraph 2.12 of this report. 1. Introduction and background 1.1 The Site 1.1.1 The application site is located in the north west of Stutton Village and previously formed part of the residential curtilage of Station House a former railway station. A new access from Weedling Gate and two dwellings are currently being constructed at the site, after receiving consent under planning application 2009/0885/FUL. 1.1.2 The application site slopes downwards as it runs from Weedling Gate towards the site of the two houses currently under construction. The former railway embankment, which runs along the eastern site boundary, is set approximately 1- 2m above the main ground level of the application site. 1.1.3 The application site is bounded by open farm land to the west, which is located within the greenbelt. There are residential properties located to the north, east and west, the majority of which front onto Church Crescent or Weedling Gate. However there are a number of dwellings, including those immediately to the east of the application site on Brown’s Paddock that are located behind the established building line. 1.1.4 The whole of the village is located within a Locally Important Landscape Area and the land to the west of the village is designated Green Belt. The south-eastern part of the application site, along the former railway embankment is within development limits whilst the area to the north at the junction with Weeding Gate is located outside the development limits and within the Green Belt. 1.2. The Proposal 1.2.1 This application seeks full planning permission for the construction of a vehicular access and new package treatment plant to serve two new dwellings that are currently under construction. 1.2.2 Permission has previously been granted for the erection of two dwellings including access (application 2009/0885/FUL). The current application proposes to amend the line of the part of the access road adjacent to the railway embankment and closest to Brown’s Paddock. It includes the removal of part of the railway embankment which would require the removal of six trees, consisting of 5 241
