Schedule of Applications
Additional documents:
Minutes: Application 21/03807/FUL - Erection of Four Dwellings and Associated Works at Land at Sandy Lane Court, Upper Rissington, Gloucestershire
The Planning Case Officer, Martin Perks, introduced the application and described the location of the proposed development of 4 one and two bedroomed properties and associated parking provision. The site and relevant planning history was also described.
The following people addressed the Committee: Councillor Sandy Garret (Upper Rissington Parish Council) Jackie Palmer (Objector) Samuel Brooks – Tyack Architects (Agent) Councillor Andrew Maclean (Ward Member)
The Committee noted the location maps of the application, plans and photographs of the site and illustrations of the proposed properties.
The Committee commented on the use of obscured glazing on windows that appear to provide light to living areas and bedrooms of the properties. The Officer stated the obscured glazing windows were secondary windows and both of the rooms served by the windows also had other non-obscured windows.
The Committee commented on the ownership and upkeep responsibility for both the green space that would be reduced within the site and a new green space amenity that was being provided nearby. The Officer stated that the applicant owned part of the land within the site although this had been maintained by existing residents. Responsibility for future maintenance could be conditioned within in the application.
The Committee commented on the proposed properties being built in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) that did not appear to enhance or preserve the special qualities of the area. The Officer stated that the AONB applied to the wider landscape of the area and the proposed development was in a more built up site within the AONB area where development was acceptable
The Committee commented on how access would be guaranteed to the new open green area that is being developed nearby. The Officer stated the new open green area would have public access (covered by 106 agreements) and no further access specific rights would be required.
The Committee commented on the whether the obscured glazed windows would be fixed or opening. The Officer said this was not currently specified, but a condition could be added to the application.
The Committee commented that, as the development would reduce a green space amenity, was the application aligned with the Council’s biodiversity ambitions. The Officer stated the green land that would be lost was mown grass and therefore had little ecological value.
The Committee commented that Thames Water had not responded to the application in connection with the sewerage removal provision. The Officer stated water & waste connections would be a matter for the developer to agree with the water company which had already agreed to other connections nearby and were not able to refuse connection to the water mains supply.
The Committee commented on the local design principles used for the new properties and asked whether ‘local’ applied to the specific site or wider village or district. The Officer stated the design of the new properties had the same scale and size ... view the full minutes text for item 99. |
