<strong>Planning</strong> <strong>Schedule</strong> <strong>Date</strong>: <strong>10</strong>/<strong>08</strong>/<strong>2004</strong><br />
f) Community car parking should be permitted in agreement with Nailsworth Primary School,<br />
Nailsworth Chamber of Trade and Commerce, Stagecoach and other coach operators.<br />
3.3 King George V Extension<br />
A commuted sum should be agreed towards management of the playing fields. The Town<br />
<strong>Council</strong> should not incur any legal costs in setting up an agreement.<br />
b) Bollards should be provided at the edge of the existing car park to stop vehicles driving over<br />
the existing field.<br />
c) The hedge between the existing playing fields and the extension should be retained and<br />
improved with supplementary planting.<br />
3.5 Transport Proposals<br />
a) A pedestrian crossing should be provided to the school<br />
b) The football club should be required to provide "agreed community car parking", with local<br />
organisations including: local coach tour operators, Nailsworth Primary School, Nailsworth<br />
Chamber of Trade, and Stagecoach.<br />
The <strong>District</strong> <strong>Council</strong> is asked to note that timing is critical to make this proposal happen. The<br />
football club has to cease playing at its existing stadium by May 2005, and if there is any delay in<br />
making a decision the scheme may fail. An expedient decision is vital to its success.<br />
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS<br />
The application is accompanied by an Environmental Statement and Further Information in<br />
connection with such. It is a requirement of the <strong>Council</strong> when determining the application to<br />
consider the Environmental Effects of the development proposed and any mitigating measures<br />
proposed to remediate against any adverse impacts.<br />
There are no specific policies contained within the <strong>Stroud</strong> <strong>District</strong> Local Plan Revised Deposit<br />
Version (as amended June 2001) which relate directly to the erection of football stadiums and the<br />
same is true regarding the policies contained within the Structure Plan.<br />
The application is therefore considered against material considerations and other policies which<br />
relate to general matters such as amenity, highway safety and the water environment. Polices<br />
also relate to landscape implications, built form (including environment), natural environment,<br />
recreation and community facilities.<br />
To this end the application is considered against General Policies G1, G2, G3, G4 and G5.<br />
Policies B1(Urban design), B12 and B13(Archaeology), B14(Historic Park), N1 (designated area -<br />
wildlife) N2 (Key wildlife site), N6 (Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), N7, N8 and<br />
N9(landscape), N12 (Landscaping of proposal) are also considered, along with T1 Transport, R1<br />
(Retention of facilities or replacement of such), R3 (Development of recreational area in<br />
educational ownership).<br />
The following Structure Plan Policies have been considered:<br />
Structure Plan Policies RE1 (deals with the retention of recreational facilities), T1 (sustainable<br />
transport), RE1 and S.5 (recreation and need for community facilities) are also relevant when<br />
dealing with this proposal. These Policies are similar to those adopted by the <strong>District</strong> <strong>Council</strong> in<br />
its Local Plan but are listed below for reference purposes.<br />
Policy T1<br />
New Development and the Transport System.<br />
