EQUALITIES
3.57 In accordance with the provisions of the Equality Act 2010, the Council is required
to have due regard to its public sector equality duty. These matters have been
considered, and officers' view is that the proposal would not affect individual users or
groups of users of the school or Fatima Parish Centre to an unreasonable or
disproportionate degree. The applicant's offer of providing alternative accommodation
for users of the Fatima Parish Centre along with the fact that there are nearby existing
alternative community facilities, is considered to be an appropriate arrangement in the
circumstances. In the longer term the proposal would secure improved school and
community facilities to the benefit of individual users and groups of users.
4.0 CONCLUSION and RECOMMENDATION
4.1 Officers consider that the proposed land use is acceptable and that the
development would provide a valuable community facility which meets an identified
educational need. The new building is considered to be of an acceptable design having
regard to the needs of the building's users and the character and appearance of the
area. It is also considered that the proposal would not result in harmful levels of traffic
generation or impact on on-street parking, and would not have a demonstrably harmful
impact on the amenities of surrounding residents. The proposal would deliver a secure,
environmentally sustainable and accessible development. Subject to conditions, the
development would not have a further impact on flood risk, nor would it be at risk from
contaminated land.
4.2 For these reasons it is recommended that planning permission is granted, subject
to conditions.
