The indicative plans submitted demonstrate that the site could be
developed to achieve satisfactory separation distances from existing
properties so as to ensure that there would not be a significant impact
in terms of overlooking or loss of privacy.
Disturbance arising during construction
2.19.4 In commenting on the application objectors have raised concerns in
terms of the impact arising from the development as it is constructed.
2.19.5 The ES confirms that the applicants will collate a Site Waste
Management Plan (SWMP) in order to maximise recycling on site. In
terms of the operation of the site then the ES makes no commitment to
site operation practices, the control of noise, hours of operation or dust
mitigation.
2.19.6 However, the Council’s LO-EH has in terms of noise, vibration, dust
and dirt, noted that should planning permission be granted they would
recommend a condition be added to require a scheme to minimise the
impact of noise, vibration, dust and dirt on residential properties in
close proximity to the site.
2.19.7 As such, it is considered that a scheme can be drawn up via condition
to ensure that the amenity of the existing residents is appropriately
protected during the construction stage in line with Policy ENV1 (1) of
the Local Plan.
2.20 Noise within Proposed Dwellings
2.20.1 Policy ENV1 of the Local Plan and Policy SHB1/1B of the Local Plan
states that proposals for the site should incorporate “appropriate noise
amelioration measures, if necessary, to meet the requirements of an
approved noise assessment undertaken at the developers expense.”
2.20.2 In addition the NPPF requires consideration of the impact of noise
sources on new development which includes the impact arising from
roads.
2.20.3 The Council’s LO-EH has noted that there is a possible impact on the
new dwellings as a result of the location of development in relation to
Low Street to the west and the A162, with confirmation being received
from LO-EH that a noise assessment should be undertaken as part of
the reserved matters stages to ensure that any required mitigation in
terms of the new units is defined and as such this should be
conditioned accordingly.
2.20.4 Given the above the scheme is considered to be acceptable in terms of
the consideration of noise and the tests in Policy ENV1 and SHB/1B (7)
of the Local Plan and the requirements of the NPPF subject to a
condition requiring a noise report at reserved matters stage.
