Planning Schedule Date: 10/08/2004 The proposal therefore accords with Policies H23 and B4 of the Stroud District Local Plan Revised Deposit Version (as amended June 2001). Constraints: Conservation Area Cainscross Consultations/Representations: Parish Response: Cainscross Parish Council object to the application. It is unclear what reason for the re-grading of this land is, it currently forms gardens of four cottages at The Retreat which lead down to the canal. Presumably the land is either to build new houses or provide access to adjoining land further along canal. Once again the applicant is proposing to extend this unsightly development along the canal in piecemeal fashion without disclosing the full extent of his intentions. A Section 106 agreement was negotiated on the basis of the original approval, which has now extended in a series of separate applications, thereby avoiding any further community benefits. This site was not allocated as a development site in Local Plan and currently standing at 35, will end up at 50 if extended to Bridgeside. Not content with utilising all open space in the parish, developers are now resorting to buying up existing back gardens. High density multi storey housing will detract from the appearance of the canal and diminish tourist attraction. Do not support this or any other applications on this site until developer reveals his long term intentions. Revised plans - has reduced the amount of land in question but the principle remains the same, previous objections are reiterated with possible exception of Section 106 comment relating to S.02/961 which has been adjusted . Unclear as to exactly what permissions have been issued so far in relation to building that has already taken place. Set a dangerous precedent for other canal side sites. Existing gardens should not be considered as brown field sites. Object to creeping nature of this development. Letter of comment F.C.Tillett. Retreat Lodge, Westward Road, Cainscross, Stroud, Glos. Reasons • This proposal causes considerable concerns over the applicants future intentions to either run an access across the gardens to access a further plot of land for addition housing development or for development of even more inappropriate housing crammed in adjacent to the canal. • There has already been a considerable increase in traffic from the new housing off Frome Gardens causing obstruction to main road. Site Report: The Site and the Proposal This is an application for the regrading of garden land to the rear of The Retreat off Westward Road, Ebley. 14
Planning Schedule Date: 10/08/2004 The application site consists of an area of shared garden land located to the rear of Numbers 85, 87 and 89 immediately adjacent to the Frome Gardens development. The site is currently used for garden land in connection with the three residential properties and due to the local land levels is set at a lower level than the rear of the main dwellings. The site borders the Stroudwater Canal to the south with the new residential development to the west and additional garden land to the east. The land forms part of the designated Stroud Industrial Heritage Conservation Area. The proposal seeks the regrading of land to the rear of the properties to create a level area of garden land approximately 10m wide to the immediate rear of the properties with a graded slope to meet the existing land levels to the south and east. The scheme would involve the raising of land levels 1.5m at the highest point and would reflect land levels on the adjacent development site. The application has been amended since its original submission and no longer includes any garden land relating to numbers 81 or 83. Relevant Planning History No previous applications have been submitted in respect of this parcel of land however the site is closely related to the Frome Gardens development site. The land does however form part of the proposed access for current application S.04/1255/FUL for the erection of 13 dwellings on land to the east of this site. Planning Considerations and Recommendation. Given the location and form of this development two of the key considerations relate to the impact of the proposal on the residential amenity of the surrounding properties together with its impact on the character and appearance of the designated conservation area. As such the relevant policy advice is contained with Policies H23 and B4 of the Stroud District Local Plan Revised Deposit Version (as amended June 2001). With regard to the impact of the scheme on the residential amenity of the area, it is not considered that the proposal will cause a significant change in the current situation. The use of the land for amenity purposes is well established and the increased height of the proposal will not give rise to any adverse overlooking or loss of privacy. In addition the works will not prejudice the use of any of the surrounding gardens with the proposal relating well to the adjacent development site. Conditions are however proposed controlling the level of regrading and its proximity to the canal. Representations received regarding the current site appearance relate to the temporary storage of soil in connection with the adjacent development rather than the finished profile of this application. Although the comments of the Parish Council are noted with regard to the piecemeal development of this area, each application should be considered on its own individual merits. The proposal relates solely to the regrading of a section of garden land and should be considered as such. Any subsequent proposals or developments would be the subject of future applications and it is at that stage that issues such as the impact of additional houses on the conservation area, are most appropriately considered. This is the situation with regard to current application S.04/1255/FUL referred to above. In terms of the affect of the development on the character and appearance of the conservation area, it is again considered that the proposal will preserve the general open nature of this part of The Retreat. The land will be graded to match the existing contours to the south and east of the site and will not therefore cause harm to the area. The proposal accords with Policies B4 and H23 of the Stroud District Local Plan Revised Deposit Version (as amended June 2001), in so far as they relate to this application and conditional permission is recommended. 15
