Extra care unit amendments at Loen, St Catherines Road, Frimley, Camberley

“The proposed amendments are acceptable in principle and would have no material impact on the principle of development, or the consideration of the impact of the development on the Countryside Beyond the Green Belt as concluded in the original application.”

“The application is therefore recommended for approval subject to conditions. A deed of variation will be required to the signed s106 legal agreement to reflect the updated application reference.”

“Joint Waste Solution Raise no objection. Lead Local Flood Authority Raise no objection. Natural England No response received. However, no objections raised to the previous application and the proposed development would not alter the ecological consideration of the development. Fisher German No response received.”

“Officer response: Officers have reviewed the development against the original ecological appraisal and do not consider there are any additional concerns raised. Prior to any demolition the applicant would still need have a requirement to apply for a bat mitigation license. Surrey Fire Raise no objection and provide guidance. Environment Agency No comments to make. Network Rail No response received. However, no objections raised to previous applications.”

“The table below summarises the material planning reasons for objection:”

“St Catherines Road is not suitable for the increase in traffic. The principle of development has been established under 24/0922/FFU and the proposed amendments would not impact further on the surrounding highway network. No objections were raised by the County Highways Authority.”

“Members queried the status of and how a non-material amendment to application 24/0922/FFU (3.2 in the report) would affect the development and officers confirmed that this decision was still outstanding. It was also confirmed by officers that the proposed size increases would not affect proposed bedroom sizes and numbers of expected occupants.”

“The officer recommendation to grant the application, subject to conditions and a legal agreement was proposed by Councillor Mary Glauert and seconded by Councillor Richard Wilson, put to the vote and carried.”

“Note 2 Voting for the officer’s recommendation to grant the application subject to conditions and a legal agreement was unanimous from Councillors Shaun Garrett, Mary Glauert, Julie Hoad, David O’Mahoney, Kevin Thompson, David Whitcroft, Helen Whitcroft, Victoria Wheeler, Valerie White and Richard Wilson.”

“RESOLVED that application 26/0270/PMR be approved, subject to a legal agreement and the conditions contained in the officer’s report and Planning Updates report.”
