The proposed development would
cause harm to the setting of the Grade I Listed Ashton Memorial and
Williamson Park, which is a Grade II Registered Park and garden and
is within a Conservation Area, and therefore would have a negative
visual impact on their significance. The proposal also fails to
adequately identify and assess the nature,
extent and significance of any archaeological deposits on the site
in order to form an appropriate mitigation strategy. As such it is
contrary to the aims and objectives of the Core Planning Principles
and Section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework in
addition to Policies DM31, DM32 and DM34 of the Lancaster District
Development Management Development Plan Document.

The current scheme fails to
respect the character of the built form and its wider setting as a
result the design, form, materials, layout, boundary treatments,
lack of open space and level of offsite
parking, particularly given the sensitive and prominent nature of
the site. It is therefore considered that the
proposal does not represent high quality design and will not
preserve or enhance the character of the adjacent Conservation
Area. As such, the development is contrary to the aims and
objectives of the National Planning policy Framework, in particular
the Core Planning Principles and Sections 7 and 12, Policy SC5 of
the Lancaster District Core Strategy and policies DM25, DM31, DM32
and DM35 of the Development Management Development Plan
Document.

The proposal fails to
adequately address the potential for adverse impacts on the
amenities of the future occupiers of the development as a result of
odours from the nearby commercial uses. It is therefore contrary to
the aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework,
in particular the Core Planning Principles and Section 7, and
Policy DM35 Development Management Development Plan
Document.
|
|
|
5.
|
As a result of the scale of the
development, the proposal will result in a loss of the majority of
plant diversity within the site, which is considered to be
of at least local nature conservation value,
without adequately mitigation or compensation for this loss.
