The remodelling of the school buildings, erection of extensions, construction of a hard play area and associated landscaping and parking followed by the demolition of the caretakers bungalow without compliance with Condition 1 (plan numbers) and condition 3 (parking layout) of planning permission ref: WA/2021/02235 dated 17 February 2022. Additional documents: Minutes: Officers: Chris Turner, Senior Planning Officer
Officer Introduction:
1. The Senior Planning Officer introduced the report and update sheet and provided Members with a brief overview. Members noted that the reason for the application was that the original application ref: WA/2021/02235 did not include a detailed design for the associated plant and a condition was not imposed on the permission requesting such details to be submitted. The plant was indicated to be located on the roof of the single storey element of the sports hall. The applicant had subsequently been in discussions with a neighbouring property and relocated the plant to the rear of the sports hall and submitted detailed designs of the plant, an acoustic fence to enclose the plant, a security fence to prevent access to the roofs of the sports hall and also a small amendment to car parking layout to include disabled parking. Full details could be found within the published report. The officer further highlighted that a revised version of the National Planning Policy Framework was circulated to Members however noted that there were no significant changes to note in relation to the current application.
Speakers:
Mark Finney spoke in objection to the application and made the following comments:
1. That the new condition requiring absorptive panelling for the heat pumps was helpful but was not enough and that further consideration could be put into an alternative design and layout to avoid the pump's adverse effects. 2. That Members could add a condition that if the absorptive panelling was found to be inadequate that further steps should be taken. 3. That the sports hall was given planning permission despite objector requests to resite iand that planning permission for the heat pumps was not sought. 4. That the heat pump's noise was not considered as part of the scheme's design. 5. That the report referred to BS 4142:2014 "Methods for rating and assessing industrial and commercial sound" but failed to mention key government guidance on it. 6. That the National Planning Practice Guidance and National Planning Policy Framework were clear that noise should be avoided rather than mitigated if above the Significant Observed Adverse Effect Level.
Mike Cole spoke on behalf of the applicant and made the following comments:
1. That the primary reason for the application was that the original application did not include a detailed design for the associated plant and a condition was not imposed on the permission requesting such details to be submitted. 2. The plant was indicated to be located on the roof of the single storey element of the sports hall. The applicant had subsequently been in discussions with a neighbouring property and the applicant relocated the plant to the rear of the sports hall and submitted detailed designs of the plant and included an acoustic fence to enclose the plant. 3. That there were two units installed however typically only one of the two units would run at any given time. Very infrequently both units may run at the ... view the full minutes text for item 86/23 |
