PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
Planning Schedule Date: 10/08/2004
This application is considered under Policies G1 and G5 of the Stroud District Local Plan Revised
Deposit Version (as amended June 2001).
Policy G1 states:
"Permission will not be granted to any development that would be likely to lead to an
unacceptable level of noise, general disturbance, smell, fumes, loss of daylight or sunlight, loss of
privacy or have an overbearing effect."
Policy G5 states:
"Permission will not be granted for development that would be likely to be detrimental to the
highway safety of any user or any highway or public right of way."
A number of letters of objection have been received from nearby residents. They object on the
use of the site by the local youth club and other functions and the possible increase in trouble
and disturbance associated with that use.
The extension of the existing building will provide a room specifically for use by the youth club
which currently uses the existing facilities on site. Therefore the use of the building will remain as
it is and there is unlikely to be an increase in disturbance to the occupiers of the nearby
residential properties. The building is being extended on its north western elevation facing
towards the recreation field and will not extend the built form towards the adjoining residential
curtilages and will therefore not lead to an increase in loss of light, privacy or have an
overbearing effect on the nearby residents.
No response has been received from Gloucestershire County Council with regard to highway
issues. The proposal however is unlikely to lead to an increase in traffic using the site and does
not effect the existing parking arrangements.
Therefore in view of the above, the proposal complies with the provisions of Policies G1 and G5
and permission is recommended.
In compiling this recommendation we have given full consideration to all aspects of the Human
Rights Act 1998 in relation to the applicant and/or the occupiers of any neighbouring or affected
properties. In particular regard has been had to Article 8 of the ECHR (Right to Respect for
private and family life) and the requirement to ensure that any interference with the right in this
Article is both permissible and proportionate. On analysing the issues raised by the application
no particular matters, other than those referred to in this report, warranted any different action to
that recommended.
