Bin storage area at St Patricks Court, North Baddesley

“Impact on the character and appearance of the area The application site is a block of 3 storey flats which house 18 individual flats along Bracken Road. The flats are set back from the main road with areas to the front and rear of the flats grassed with some small hedges, mature and semimature trees bordering the site as well as a low-level picket fence to the front of the flats.”

“HISTORY 2.1 23/02017/FULLS - Erect bin stores (permission granted).”

“CONCLUSION 7.1 The proposal is considered acceptable and in accordance with the policies of the TVBRLP.”

“RECOMMENDATION PERMISSION subject to: The development hereby permitted shall be begun within three years from the date of this permission. Reason: To comply with the provision of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. 2.”

“As a result of the location to the front of the property, the hard standing and associated bin storage will be visible from public vantage points. The visual impact will be mitigated by the retention of the mature trees and landscaping.”

“The provision of bins to meet the required standard should address existing issues of overflowing and odour, and the Environmental Protection Officer has raised no objection. The Environmental Protection Officer has further clarified that the occurrence of odour from bin stores is generally related to the management of the area.”

“Town/Parish Council: No objection 4.2 2 Representation of objection have been received and summarised as below: • Previous application was cancelled due to overlooking and smell. • A mature hedgerow will be removed. • Streams run behind application site. • Current bins at the site are overflowing and smelly. • Chance of rat infestation. • If more bins are needed why not in the same place as others.”

“DEFERRED on all grounds but in particular to: • Allow officers to discuss the scope for an alternative location for bin storage provision in the area taking into account the Council’s guidance document for the storage and collection of domestic waste and recycling for new and existing developments; • To understand the status of the extant planning permission 23/02017/FULLS • Enable an understanding of the nature of any local consultations between the applicant and residents…”

“Discuss the scope for landscape planting and enclosure to minimise the effect of the bin stores on the amenity value of the communal area of the flats.”

“Councillor A Dowden proposed and Councillor C Dowden seconded a motion for deferral. Upon being put to the vote the motion was carried.”
