Agenda, decisions and minutes

No apologies for absence were received

Members are reminded of their responsibility to declare any personal interest in respect of matters contained in this agenda. If the interest arises only as result of your membership of another public body or one to which you have been appointed by the Council then you only need to declare it if you intend to speak.

If the personal interest is a prejudicial interest, you must withdraw from the meeting. Normally you should leave the room before the business starts to be discussed. You do, however, have the same right to speak as a member of the public and may remain in the room to enable you to exercise that right and then leave immediately. In either case you must not seek to improperly influence a decision on the matter.

In accordance with the provisions of the Local Government Act 2000, the Council’s Constitution and the Members Code of Conduct, the following Member declared a prejudicial interest in relation to the planning application listed below:

Councillor David Dickinson – 09/00802/OUTMAJ

To confirm the minutes of the Development Control Committee meeting held on 8 December 2009 (enclosed).

RESOLVED – That the minutes of the Development Control Committee meeting held on 8 December 2009 be held as a correct record for signing by the Chair.

Report of Corporate Director (Governance) (enclosed)

The Director of Transformation submitted a report to make Members aware of the recently approved constitutional changes to the Public Speaking procedures and protocol for public and ward participation at Development Control Committee.

Members attention was drawn to the fact that

• The approved protocol limits Ward Councillors (who are not speaking as Members of the Committee) to speaking for no longer than 5 minutes.
• Continues to allow the Chair to use his/her discretion to ensure that applicants feel there is equality in the process, in addition
• Ward Councillors wishing to speak on planning applications should seek approval to do so from the Chair prior to the meeting of the Development Control Committee.
• The order of speakers be revised to the supporter/objector, the ward councillor, the applicant

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.

A table of planning applications to be determined is enclosed.

Please note that copies of the location and layout plans are included (where applicable) on the agenda. Plans to be considered will be displayed at the meeting or may be viewed in advance by following the links to the current planning application on our website http://planning.chorley.gov.uk/PublicAccess/TDC/tdc_home.aspx

The Director of Partnerships, Planning and Policy submitted reports on nine applications for planning permission to be determined by the Committee.

RESOLVED – That the planning applications, as now submitted, be determined in accordance with the Committee’s decisions recorded below:

Report of Corporate Director (Business) (enclosed)

Planning permission refused

(The Committee received representations from an objector to the proposals and Councillor Kevin Joyce, a Ward representative for Eccleston and Mawdesley)

Application no:                      09/00873/FUL

Proposal:                   Replacement agricultural workers dwelling, re-use and relocation of former dwelling as fishing training centre (re-submission) of planning application 09/00678/FUL)

Location:                    Orcheton House Farm, Wood Lane, Heskin, Lancashire

Decision:

It was proposed by Councillor Keith Iddon, seconded by Councillor Julia Berry to defer the decision to allow the Members of the Committee to visit the site of the proposed development.

An amendment to the motion was proposed by Councillor Mike Devaney, seconded by Councillor Judith Boothman, and was subsequently RESOLVED to refuse planning permission for the following reason:

In line with Planning Policy Statement 7, agricultural and operational workers dwellings should be commensurate with the size of the holding and the established functional requirement rather than the aspirations of the applicant. The fishery is currently operating with the existing dwelling on the site and no evidence has been submitted to demonstrate that the existing dwelling is not adequate. The proposal is therefore considered contrary to PPS7: Sustainable Development in Rural Areas.

Report of Corporate Director (Business) (enclosed)

Full planning permission granted

(The Committee received representation from an objector to the proposals and the applicant)

Reason: Required to be imposed by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

Reason:  To ensure a visually satisfactory form of development, to provide reasonable standards of privacy to residents and in accordance with Policy No. HS4 of the Adopted Chorley Borough Local Plan Review.

3.

Report of Corporate Director (Business) (enclosed)

Decision deferred for Site Visit

(The Committee received representations from an objector to the proposed development and the applicant’s agent)

(Councillor Kevin Joyce, a ward representative for Eccleston and Mawdesley also spoke against the proposals)

Application no:          09/00802/OUTMAJ

Proposal:                               Outline application for the erection of 70 dwelling houses with associated roads and open spaces

Location:                                Pontins Ltd, Sagar House, Langton Brow, Eccleston, Chorley

Decision:

It was proposed by Councillor Dennis Edgerley, seconded by Councillor Chris France to refuse planning permission of the proposed development.

An amendment to the motion was proposed by Councillor Mike Devaney, seconded by Councillor David Dickinson to approve planning permission of the proposed development subject to a Legal Agreement and the conditions in the officers report.

A further amendment to the motion was proposed by Councillor Dennis Edgerly, seconded by Councillor Ken Ball, to defer the decision to allow for further dialogue between the developer and the planning officers.

A further amendment to the motion was then proposed by Councillor Keith Iddon, seconded by Councillor Simon Moulton and was subsequently RESOLVED (14:1) to defer the decision to allow the Members of the Development Control Committee to visit the site of the proposed development.

Report of Corporate Director (Business) (enclosed)

Planning permission refused

(The Committee received representations from an objector to the proposed development)

Application no:                      09/00866/OUTMAJ

Proposal:                   Outline application (specifying access and layout) for the erection of 12 dwellings and associated infrastructure (resubmission of application 09/00513/OUTMAJ)

Location:                    The Grove, Railway Road, Adlington, Chorley

Decision:

It was proposed by Councillor Roy Lees, seconded by Councillor June Molyneaux, and was subsequently RESOLVED to refuse planning permission for the following reason:

The proposal is considered contrary to Policy EP18 of the Adopted Chorley Borough Local Plan Review and PPS25. It has been identified that there is a culvert on the site. The Environment Agency object to development over culverts as it will prejudice future replacement restoration and can restrict necessary access to the watercourse. In addition PPS25 (Development and Flood Risk) requires that all forms of flooding should be taken into account when considering an application. Whilst it is accepted that the culvert running across the site can be diverted to allow the building of the proposed properties, recent site visits shows this culvert still carries surface water which will need to be discharged at some point to prevent flooding on site. The proposals show a diversion with a connection to a culvert underneath Railway Road but has its connection is not currently being utilised, the applicant has not demonstrated that this excess surface water can be discharged without having an impact on properties downstream. With regards to the proposed surface water discharge from the new houses, a new connection to the public sewer network is proposed. The applicant has not demonstrated that this is acceptable to United Utilities. As this is a new connection, the surface water discharge rate must be reduced to a Greenfield rate of 6.6l/s/ha which requires some from of storage and it has not been shown where this can be accommodated on site.

The planning application was withdrawn from this agenda

Application no:          09/00825/OUTMAJ

Proposal:                   Demolition of existing buildings, erection of 15 units for mixed use of office and living accommodation, formation of new access to Finnington Lane, landscaping and laying out of new road and parking areas together with provision of washroom/W.C building for canal boat users.

Location:                    Bolton West Motorway Service Area Northbound, Greenlands Lane, Anderton, Bolton

Decision:
