1.0 BACKGROUND<br />

1.1 The application site (0.1644 ha) comprises a rectangular parcel of l<strong>and</strong>, in Council<br />

ownership, within the Spring Vale Estate. The estate comprises a number of blocks of<br />

flats ranging from 4 to 8 storeys in height. To the north of the site there is Porten Road<br />

(4-storey property), to the east is Brangwyn Court (4 storey residential block), to the<br />

South sits Elgar Court (6 storey residential block) <strong>and</strong> to the west is Ceylon Road (2<br />

storey property). The site is an open hard l<strong>and</strong>scaped area, currently used for estate<br />

resident car parking <strong>and</strong> includes a single storey garage block.<br />

1.2 The site is located within the Lakeside, Sinclair, Blythe Road Conservation Area.<br />

The majority of the application site is located within Flood Zone 1 (the area least at risk<br />

of flooding), whilst the northern edges of the site are located within Flood Risk Zones 2<br />

<strong>and</strong> 3. The immediate character <strong>and</strong> appearance of the area is residential. The<br />

application site is located in Public Transport Accessibility Level (PTAL) 3.<br />

1.3 There is no relevant planning history with regard to the application site.<br />

1.4 The proposal seeks consent for the demolition of a garage block, in connection<br />

with the redevelopment of the site incorporating a 4 storey residential block (comprising<br />

2 x 1 bed units, 6 x 2 bed units), together with the erection of two 2-storey 3 bedroom<br />

houses, with associated parking, access, l<strong>and</strong>scaping <strong>and</strong> alterations to the existing<br />

footpath <strong>and</strong> highway. There is a related Conservation Area Consent application<br />

(2013/01866/CACHF). This report covers matters arising from both applications.<br />

1.5 The project forms part of the Council's 'New Build Innovative Housing Programme',<br />

<strong>and</strong> it is proposed to deliver this scheme using the Rational House product. This is a<br />

housing product where houses are built using a range of st<strong>and</strong>ard parts that can be<br />

fitted together in different ways, to achieve different forms of development. These<br />

components are attached to a primary structure, <strong>and</strong> the shell of a typical house can be<br />

erected in 10 days. The primary structure <strong>and</strong> panels are made from pre-cast stone,<br />

<strong>and</strong> the use of these load bearing panels means that the internal walls can be changed<br />

to accommodate the different needs of the house throughout its lifetime.
