Agenda item

The Chair and Vice Chair had visited the site the previous day.

 

The Planning Officer introduced the report setting out the reasons for approval as set out in the report.

 

The Planning Officer advised the Committee that an extra condition regarding a requirement for a structural report relating to whether it was necessary for the boundary wall to be temporarily taken down to enable construction on the rest of the site, was recommended following discussion with the applicant.

 

The following made representations to the Committee under the Public Participation at meetings scheme:

 

• Mr William Jones, Supporter – telephone call
• Ms Sarah Clarke, Agent – telephone call.

 

A motion to approve the item in accordance with Officer recommendation with additional conditions:

·         Installation of solar panels on the cycle store to provide charging points for electric bikes

·         Requirement for a structural report relating to the boundary wall,

·         Details of how the boundary wall would be marked in the car park to show its significance

·         Removal of the pedestrian access through the boundary wall from the plan to an area outside the Conservation Area.

·         Details of how waste material from the construction would be recycled where possible.

·         Details of the lighting of the site

 

was moved and seconded.

 

 

In response to Members’ queries the Planning Officer confirmed the following:

 

• That a condition would be added that the Developer either provide charging points for electric bicycles or give an explanation as to why this was not possible
• Regarding parking management, as this was outside the remit of the planning application it would be up to the Healthcare Trust to consider.
• The main vehicle access to the site would remain in its existing position opposite the entrance to Aldern House but would be used more frequently.  The Highways Authority had considered this carefully and were satisfied.
• Improvements to the bus stop were desirable but as they were not considered to be essential for the acceptability of the development then they would not be insisted on by way of a condition.

 

The Planning Officer advised that it had originally been proposed that the gable end of the cart shed be squared off however the Authority’s Conservation Officer had requested it be chamfered.

 

He also confirmed that a condition could be added to mark out the footprint of the cart shed, plans for external lighting could be developed via discussion with the Developer, a condition could be added to mandate an increased number of electric vehicle charging points but he was of the view that the current provision would be adequate.  Further charging points could be added as and when they were required via Permitted Development Rights.

 

A question was raised as to the possible effect on the boundary of the Bakewell Conservation Area if the development was approved and it was agreed that this should be noted as an action for the Authority’s Cultural Heritage Team.

 

The motion  to approve the application in accordance with Officer recommendation with additional conditions regarding the  structural report regarding the need for the demolition of the boundary wall, how the boundary wall would be marked in the car park, the demarcation of the footprint of the cart shed, the addition of electric charging points for bicycles, how waste materials from the construction work would be disposed of and details of the lighting on the site, the details of which would be delegated to officers, was put to the vote and carried.
