“80/0543 – Use of land for formal and informal recreational purposes formal provision to include consolidation of existing fragmented facilities for football, cricket and a 9- hole pitch and putt course.”

“13/0783 – Creation of one full size 3G artificial grass football pitch with associated fencing and floodlighting…”

“The proposal would provide minor works within an existing car park and access road locations within the wider site. The proposed works would be set about 30 metres from St Andrews Church (19 metres from the mutual boundary), which is a Grade II Listed building. It is not considered that the proposal would have any material effect on the setting of this Listed Building, noting the separation distance and trees and other vegetation in between.”

“The current proposal is considered to be acceptable in terms of its impact on character (including heritage and trees), residential amenity and highway safety, biodiversity and drainage/flood risk. In addition, for Biodiversity Net Gain, the applicant has confirmed that BNG provision will be provided by credits; and can be secured by condition(s). It is considered that the proposal is acceptable.”

“County Highways Authority No objections, subject to conditions including space to be laid out in accordance with the plans and thereafter retained, and for two spaces to have fast charge electric vehicle charging points.”

“Update: Following the receipt of amended details, the Trust have no objections, subject to provision of a CEMP and Sensitive Lighting Management Plan and requested points of clarification on the BNG (expected to be received prior to the Planning Applications Committee meeting).”

“The proposal would provide an enhancement to the car park and provide better and safer facilities for users of the scout hut…”

“This is noted. Request yellow “no parking” hatching is reinstated in front of the scout hut It is not proposed under this application Discrepancy between tree classification [T35-B1] of this report (good quality) and previous report (poor condition and request to be removed). It has been considered under this report that these trees are good quality and are to be retained…”

“Members asked questions on the durability of the new car park’s surface, taking into consideration Electric Vehicle (EV) cars and larger vehicles. The proposal included space for two EV charging spaces, but supporting infrastructure to introduce more in the future. This figure was incorrectly referenced as four EV charging spaces during the meeting but Members have been notified.”

“The application’s Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) was discussed by Members and also if a pond close to the car park could be landscaped. No proposal was currently included in the application to landscape the pond but officers agreed this could be considered if appropriate.”

“The officer recommendation to grant the application, subject to conditions was proposed by Councillor Helen Whitcroft, seconded by Councillor Mary Glauert, put to the vote and carried.”

“Note 1 Voting for the officer’s recommendation to grant the application subject to conditions was unanimous from Councillors Shaun Garrett, Mary Glauert, Julie Hoad, Dave Hough, Helen Whitcroft, Kevin Thompson, David Whitcroft, Valerie White and Richard Wilson.”

“RESOLVED that application 26/0350/FFU be approved, subject conditions contained in the officer’s report and Planning Updates report.”

“It was discovered after the meeting that there was an error regarding one of the conditions in the report. condition 4 was repeated as condition 5 and a condition relating to EV charging was omitted. This has since been corrected and the Chair of the meeting agreed it.”
