A site visit was held in respect of this item on 5th December 2016 minute 97 (2016/2017 refers) and 28th January 2019 minute 112 (2018/2019) refers.
Under the scheme of public participation, Chris Balmer of STS Manufacturing and representing the group Lune Industrial Estate Supporters and Mel Welsh of A1 Supa Skips Ltd both spoke against the application. The applicant Stephen Ashworth spoke in support.
It was proposed by Councillor Robert Redfern and seconded by Councillor Jon Barry:
“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 application fails to sufficiently demonstrate that the proposed residential development, with mitigation, can be integrated effectively with the neighbouring industrial uses both on the periphery of the site and those retained industrial uses in the centre of the site. Even with significant acoustic mitigation proposals, large areas of the site would be subject to noise levels that would give rise to significant adverse impacts, resulting in unacceptable impacts on the health and amenity of future occupants and prejudicing the continued operation of existing industrial uses neighbouring the site. As a consequence, the proposed development is considered contrary to saved policy EC5 of the saved Lancaster District Local Plan, policy DM35 of the Development Management Development Plan Document, Paragraph 180 and 182 of the National Planning Policy Framework and the Noise Policy Statement for England.

2. |
The application fails to sufficiently demonstrate that the site is capable of achieving the amount of development proposed, together with open space and other infrastructure requirements, in a manner that would demonstrate a well-planned, safe, and high quality designed residential scheme, capable of providing satisfactory standards of amenity for future occupants. As a consequence, the local planning authority are of the opinion that the development does not constitute a sustainable form of development and would be contrary to policies DM26 and DM35 and paragraphs 91 and 127 and 130 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

|
3. |
The proposed development is considered to not constitute a sustainable form of development and, as such, would not provide wider sustainability benefits to the community that outweigh the flood risk and therefore fails the first part of the Exception Test. It is therefore contrary to policy DM38 of the Development Management Development Plan Document and paragraph 159 and 160 of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
