Planning Schedule Date: 10/08/2004 The Town Council welcomes the allocation of open space for a Village Hall, but is concerned that the manner in which is it presented in the planning application does not secure the allocation. An allocation of 500 sq m should be included in the Section 106 agreement. Affordable Housing should form 30% of total units. Construction Impacts The impact of the proposed concrete crusher on surrounding residents should be minimised. Highways and Transport Proposals Transport includes a roundabout access for the New Stadium site, a second roundabout for The Lawns, and improvements to bus access. The proposals include a 21m diameter 4-arm roundabout at the junction of Nympsfield Road and Nortonwood West to provide access to the New Stadium, and a 26m diameter 4-arm roundabout at the junction of Nympsfield Road and The Lawns. Three sets of speed pads are proposed between the two roundabouts, with associated signage, and extension of the 30 mph speed limit to just west of Bramble Cottage. The Town Council has several comments with regards to the public transport proposals: a) The proposal that all Stagecoach services will enter the New Stadium site is welcomed because it will increase activity within the site. b) The parking of three buses overnight at the New Stadium site will reduce early morning and late evening service runs on Spring Hill. c) Buses will turn in the car park loop, which should therefore be for one-way traffic only. The Town Council is particularly concerned at two aspects of the proposals: a) The roundabout access to The Lawns is over-designed, and will involve pedestrians walking along the south side of Nympsfield Road in an unnecessary detour. b) There should be a pedestrian crossing outside the school for pedestrians approaching from Nortonwood East, which would enable them to avoid the new roundabout access to The Lawns, and the new access to the Stroud College site. Several items have been omitted from the TA: a) There is no discussion of traffic impacts on Tinkley Lane. Although these are likely to be slight they should be considered. b) There is no consideration of the potential impact of match attendances in excess of 3,000 spectators or increases in average match attendances of around 1,000 spectators. c) There is no consideration of potential impacts of moving the employment use of the football club to a site west of the primary school. d) There is no consideration of the traffic generation of the social club, crèche and other nonmatch leisure uses at the New Stadium. e) The Stadium access roundabout is likely to be completed before The Lawns access. There is no consideration of the potential traffic problems during this interim period. The Town Council has the following additional comment: a) The use of the term "park and ride" is misleading and has led to unnecessary public concern about traffic impacts. The proposal is that certain organisations may use parking facilities at the New Stadium at specific times in agreement with the football club. These may include people going on coach trips to other places, members of the Chamber of Trade etc. The term "agreed community car parking" would be preferable. No transport improvements are proposed in association with the King George V Extension Items for Inclusion as Conditions or in the Section 106 Agreement 94
Planning Schedule Date: 10/08/2004 General a) The new pitch and other work affecting Nailsworth Primary School should be complete before construction work on the New Stadium commences. b) The existing stadium should not be demolished until work on the New Stadium and King George V Extension is substantially complete. The Lawn a) The proportion of affordable housing at The Lawns should be 30% of the total. b) A site of 500 sq m for a village hall/general amenity/play area should be retained and included as provision in the Section 106 agreement, to be owned by Nailsworth Town Council. (See Addendum) c) Off-site education and adult play space provision should be agreed. Transport Proposals a) A pedestrian crossing should be provided to the school b) The football club should be required to provide "agreed community car parking", with local organisations including: local coach tour operators, Nailsworth Primary School, Nailsworth Chamber of Trade, and Stagecoach. The District Council is asked to note that timing is critical to make this proposal happen. The football club has to cease playing at its existing stadium by May 2005, and if there is any delay in making a decision the scheme may fail. An expedient decision is vital to its success. PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS The planning history of this site predominantly relates to a commercial football club and premises. The development of this site is one that can draw comparisons with the proposals to develop the adjacent Stroud College site for residential purposes. That site has permission which was eventually both granted at appeal and by the District Council directly. Policy H 14 of the Local Plan is applicable in respect of housing issues and has to be weighed against the other material matters, which include the Inspectors findings on the adjacent site. The use of the site would comply with the terms of Policy H14 and PPG3. However, considerations regarding the re-establishment of the existing community facilities from the site are also relevant. It can therefore be reasonably deduced the site is now suitable for housing purposes, subject to the re-establishment of the community facilities. The site is situated within the urban area of the town of Nailsworth and was originally allocated for residential purposes in the Stroud District Local Plan (Draft for Deposit) 1999 (Hg 16 refers). This together with the adjoining Stroud College land had an indicative capacity for 50 houses. Due to the uncertainty of the football club moving premises at that time the Council took the decision to remove this allocation from the Local Plan. The application therefore now falls to be considered under Policies H14, R1, R3 of the Local Plan and Policy RE1 and S5 of the Gloucestershire Structure Plan Second Review. Other material considerations contained within Planning Policy Guidance Notes 3 and 17 are also applicable. Policy H14 of the Local Plan suggests development should be considered against the following criteria. POLICY H14 Within settlements boundaries, permission will be granted for residential development or redevelopment, provided all the following criteria are met where relevant:- 95
