Speakers: Malcolm Robertson, a local resident, made representations in objection to the application. The following points were made: · Expressed that the completed risk assessment was not adequate and another would be required before piling began. · The Report should contain consideration of ground water. · The report does not show plans to where piling is undertaken. · Requested a comprehensive report to cover the entire site. · Expressed that the walking route had been contaminated.
Gareth Philips, the applicant, spoke in support of the application. The following points were made: · The site had been extensively surveyed; a contamination and remediation plan is in place. · Within the footprint of the Eco Park there was no recorded contamination. · Noted that the Eco Park was being built on an existing waste site.
The local Member had not registered to speak.
Key points raised during the discussion: 1. The Planning Development Control Team Manager introduced the report and informed the Committee that a risk assessment is only considered adequate if it follows the Environment Agency’s guidelines. It was noted that Spelthorne Borough Council questioned the viability of the risk assessment in case the piling method was to change, to mitigate this a condition had been recommended to repeat the risk assessment process. It was added that any risk was of very low significance. 2. A Member raised concern regarding contaminated water, officers expressed that the risk of water becoming contaminated was so low that diverted pathways were not required. The Committee were informed that any contamination would be removed before piling as part of the general construction work. 3. The Committee were informed that the Environment Agency, Thames Water and Surrey County Council’s (SCC) advisors had expressed that the measures in place were sufficient. It was also noted that country wide, there are many sites which are contaminated but have no effect on the public.

This application is for the construction of new single storey block comprising six classrooms and ancillary facilities, and associated internal alterations and external works, to facilitate expansion of school from 1 form of entry (210 places) to 2 forms of entry (420) places.
The recommendation is that
1. Pursuant to the Town and Country Planning (Consultation) (England) Direction 2009, application number RU.14/1481 be referred to the Secretary of State; and
2. In the absence of any direction by him, and pursuant to Regulation 3 of the Town and Country Planning General Regulations 1992, the application be PERMITTED subject to conditions.
Additional documents: Minutes: It was decided to consider items 10 and 11 together. An update sheet was tabled and is attached as annex 2.
Officers: Alan Stones, Planning Development Control Team Manager Nancy El-Shatoury, Principal Solicitor Caroline Smith, Transport Development Planning Team Manager Nathan Morley, Senior Planning Officer
Key points raised during the discussion: 1. The Senior Planning Officer introduced the report and informed the Committee that the application would double the school places to 420. The application had been referred back in order for the Committee to go on a site visit to the school. It was noted that the loss of playing field had been reduced to a 10% loss and the existing running track could be realigned. The Committee were told that after looking at many options, the current area for the new build was the most effective. Other areas would block access to the site or cover a larger area of the playing field, it was noted that the school did not think a two story building would be effective. In relation to item 11, seven additional parking spaces would be provided. 2. The Committee noted that the application was referred back to the Committee due to the loss of playing field and lack of parking. 3. There was a discussion around the loss of playing field, it was agreed that giving up part of the playing field should be the last option. If building another storey is possible, this should be implemented. 4. A Member noted that 47 staff would be required when the building work is completed, 14 parking spaces would be available. It was expressed that this was not feasible. The existing school buildings need refurbishment to ensure the building is future proof, Members expressed this should have been considered. 5. The Committee noted that the doubling of school places meant as much space as possible would be needed, taking away playing field space was not supporting the increased number of pupils.
RESOLVED:
The Committee REFUSED application RU.14/1481 for the following reason: i. An unnecessary and significant loss of playing field area

RU.14/1481 at its meeting held on 25 February 2015. That application proposed two additional spaces.
The recommendation is that pursuant to Regulation 3 of the Town and Country Planning General Regulations 1992, application RU.15/1084 be PERMITTED subject to conditions.
