Officers: Alan Stones, Planning Development and Control Team Manager Alex Sanders, Principal Planning Officer Nancy El-Shatoury, Principal Solicitor Caroline Smith, Transportation Development Planning Team Manager Scott Dickson, Transportation DevelopmentPlanning Officer
Speakers: No one had requested to speak on this item.
Key points raised during the discussion: 1. The Planning Officer introduced the report and the update sheet tabled at the meeting and appended to these minutes. A revised Noise Impact Assessment had been submitted with further information which could allow for training to take place in the evenings. Condition 24 was therefore amended to reflect this. Additional noise conditions were also added in order to further protect residential amenity. 2. Several Members raised concerns about access to the site for pedestrians and vehicles. It was questioned whether there should be a formal crossing on the A308 at the roundabout and that Spelthorne Local Committee may wish to look at this. Members also requested that access to the site via the Thames Water access road be secured legally before any works take place. The Planning Officer undertook to add a condition. In response to concerns raised about the right hand turn and potential illegal access of the site, the Planning Officer drew Members’ attention to the condition requiring the applicant to provide an access management plan and the highways officer stated that it might be possible to design the gap to make it difficult to make an illegal right turn. 3. A few Members raised issues of increased standing water and flooding at this site and questioned future flood proofing of the area and any proposals to mitigate this. The Planning Officer highlighted the areas where permeable materials would be used and reported that the Environment Agency advised that the station would not exacerbate the standing water issue. There would be a drainage strategy in place and a condition could be placed to ensure the access was designed with drainage to prevent water getting onto the highway. With regards to future safeguarding against flooding the Planning Officer stated that the authority took advice from the Environment Agency. She explained that the recommended condition reflected the lowest floor level acceptable to the Agency, while the actual proposed floor level in the scheme was higher than that. Members also requested that Condition 18 be strengthened to set the finished floor level at 14.20AOD, the proposed level 4. Members requested that condition 9 be strengthened and should state that a minimum of seven trees be replanted. 5. A Member raised concerns about noise for the staff in the station to which the ... view the full minutes text for item 79/16 |

It is recommended that planning application Ref. SP15/01184/SCC be PERMITTED subject to the revised conditions.
Additional documents: Minutes: Officers: Alan Stones, Planning Development and Control Team Manager Duncan Evans, Planning Officer Nancy El-Shatoury, Principal Solicitor
Speakers: No one had requested to speak.
Key points raised during the discussion: 1. Further to Minute 68/15, where the decision on this item was deferred for a site visit, the Planning Officer introduced the addendum report and informed the Committee that the area had been designated suitable for waste and recycling usage. There was a shortfall in aggregate recycling targets which the concrete crusher would assist in improving meeting those targets. 2. One Member stated that whilst they had no issue with the concrete crusher that they had issues about the whole site. Those issues included overdevelopment and inappropriate usage for green belt land. 3. Some Members that had visited the site stated that site was appropriate and well managed with good access. The owner had explained the need for the crusher, shown its intended location and explained how the crusher would increase recycling. The owner had converted the site in a proper manner and some Members thought that the quality of this site should be used as a benchmark for future applications. 4. In response to Members concerns about dust management the Planning Officer explained that there was a dust action plan for the site and the conditions laid down in 2009 would be applied. Stockpile heights of 6 m would be maintained. 5. In response to a Member query about re-instating the land, in future, to green belt and removing any hard-standing the Planning Officer reported that under Planning Policy the Council could not insist on re-instatement.
RESOLVED:
That application no. SP/15/01184/SCC (SCC Ref 2015/0146) be PERMITTED subject to the revised conditions and the reasons set out in the report.
Action/further information to be provided:
