North planning committee decisions – 12 March 2014
The following planning decisions were made by Shropshire Council’s North planning committee at its meeting on Wednesday 12 March 2014 in Shrewsbury.
Proposed residential development east of Gyrn Road, Selattyn (13/01735/FUL)
Outline application (to include access and layout) for the erection of 6 no. dwellings to include access provision to the Selattyn Primary School approved car parking facility (OS/08/15744/FUL)
Decision:
That planning permission be refused, contrary to the officer’s recommendation for the following reason:
The site is located in an area characterised by the prominent, sloping topography on the edge of the settlement and elevated above the existing properties with established hedge and tree boundaries. It is considered that in principle the development of this elevated site and the associated removal of the boundaries to create the access to the site and to the school car park would have an adverse impact on the character and appearance of the village, would dominate the immediate area, would result in the loss of existing landscaping and not contribute towards conserving and enhancing the natural environment contrary to policy CS6 of the Shropshire Core Strategy. It is considered that the adverse impact of developing the site and the harm to the intrinsic character and beauty of the countryside would significantly outweigh the benefits and that the proposed development would therefore fail the environmental role of sustainable development contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework.
Land east of the Old Rectory, Selattyn (13/03821/OUT)
Outline application (all matters reserved) for the erecion of 9 dwellings (including 3 affordable).
Decision; That planning permission be granted in accordance with the officer’s recommendation, and with an additional condition restricting the height of the properties to a maximum of two storeys.
Plas Wilmot, Weston Lane, Oswestry (13/03184/FUL)
Change of use of land to form new access to replace access arrangements approved under application no. 11/04122/OUT.
Decision: That planning permission be refused, contrary to the officer’s recommendation, for the following reason:
The proposed use of the existing unadopted road off Morda Road to serve the dwellings approved adjacent to Plas Wilmot is considered to result in an unsafe and contrived access, increasing the risk of conflict with the adjacent access to the Cricket Club and traffic on Morda Road and not providing satisfactory layout or width along the length of the road for the increase in dwellings.
Land adjoining 8A St Martins Moor, St Martins, Oswestry (13/05016/OUT)
Outline application for the erection of 2 no. detached dwellings (all matters reserved).
Decision: That planning permission be granted in accordance with the officer’s recommendation.
Land adjacent Orchard House, Wem Road, Harmer Hill, Shrewsbury (13/04939/OUT)
Outline planning application for a residential development of 6 houses including new access and associated drainage works.
Decision: That planning permission be granted in accordance with the officer’s recommendation.
Land north of Jubilee Cottage, Harmer Hill, Shrewsbury (1304682/OUT)
Erection of 6no detached dwellings (including 1no affordable unit) with means of access and layout.
Decision:
That this application be deferred in order that the implications of the written ministerial statement issued by Nick Boles MP and the Planning Practice Guidance with regard to issues concerning the phasing of development in the settlement and the shared residential and agricultural access can be assessed prior to any decision being made.
Land south of Hill Valley Golf Club, Tarporley Road, Whitchurch (13/03413/OUT)
Outline permission (access for approval) for residential development (up to 86 dwellings) to include vehicular access (off Tarporley Road).
Decision: That this item be deferred until a future meeting of this committee, to allow the committee to undertake a site visit to assess the impact of the proposal on the surrounding area.
Muller Dairy (UK) Ltd, Shrewsbury Road, Market Drayton (13/05043/FUL)
Erection of a high level conveyor bridge link between the existing facility and approved manufacturing/distribution site to the north of the A53.
