Land To The South West Of Thorneycroft, Kirkby Lonsdale Road, Arkholme PDF 359 KB Outline application for the erection of 12
dwellings, creation of a new vehicular access, field access road
and pedestrian links for Mr T Jenkinson Minutes:
A site visit was held in respect of this item on 5th December 2016 minute 97 (2016/2017) refers.
Under the scheme of public participation, Phil Gibson, Cecilia McPhail, Martin Ellam and Charles Waddington spoke against the application. Graham Salisbury agent for the application spoke in support.
It was proposed by Councillor Helen Helme and seconded by Councillor Robert Redfern:
“That the application be refused.”
Upon being put to the vote, Members voted unanimously in favour of the proposition whereupon the Chairman declared the proposal to be carried.
Resolved:
That Outline Planning Permission be refused for the following reasons:
1. The proposed development, by virtue of the site’s divorced location away from the existing built-up part of Arkholme village would not represent a sustainable or suitable extension to the village. As a consequence, the proposal fails to appropriately integrate with the natural and built environment and would result in an unacceptable encroachment of the open and rural countryside to the detriment of the visual amenities of the area and the intrinsic character of the rural landscape and settlement. As a consequence the proposal is considered contrary to saved policy E4 of the Lancaster District Local Plan, policies SC1, SC5 and E1 of the Core Strategy, policies DM28, DM35 DM41 and DM42 and the Development Management Development Plan Document and paragraphs 7, 17 and Section 7 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
2. The applicant has not sufficiently demonstrated that the proposed drainage strategy, which relies on discharging post-development surface water to a series of field ditches and land outside the applicants control before entering the River Lune, would provide a practical, reliable and enforceable surface water drainage solution for the life time of the proposed development. Failure to secure a reliable and enforceable surface water drainage scheme (including maintenance) would increase the likelihood of flooding on the site itself or elsewhere. As a consequence the proposed development is considered contrary to paragraph 17 and 103 of the NPPF, Core Strategy SC1 and policies DM35 and DM 39 of the DM DPD.

provision for Mr Gary Middlebrook Minutes:
Members received further information that the City Council’s Planning Viability Consultant had advised that the viability of the development was threatened by the scale of the obligations. Having negotiated on the affordable housing contribution, the recommendation to Members was that there were now insufficient grounds to justify refusing the variation to the legal agreement, and that in accordance with national advice, Officers reluctantly were recommending approval based upon viability evidence. The Section 106 shall be varied to amend the affordable housing provision and tenure to provide 4 x 2-bedroom intermediate units. In doing so, it is accepted that the Public Open Space and Education contributions are omitted from the Obligation.
