Meeting documents

• (Attachment: 1)Minutes

RESOLVED that the minutes of the meeting held on 29 November 2017 be confirmed as a correct record and signed

Apologies for absence were received from Councillors Dr. Grant-Duff (substitute: Councillor Mrs Absalom), Mrs Bray (substitute: Councillor Whinney) Powell and Ms Thomson

No declarations were made directly under this item.

It was noted, however, that Councillor King subsequently declared a non-pecuniary interest, at the start of the debate on agenda items 6 and 10, as he had friends living in the general vicinity of the application sites
 

• (Attachment: 2)Addendum (6M/bytes)

An addendum was circulated at the meeting to provide an update on matters arising after the agenda was published.

RESOLVED to note and to take into consideration the content of the addendum
 

• (Attachment: 3)Item 5: REAR OF 4 - 10 CHURCH STREET (7M/bytes)

The Committee considered an application for demolition of part of the existing single storey rear extension to allow construction of a four storey block of 9 no. flats (3 x 2 bed and 6 x 1 bed) to the rear of 4-10 Church Street with a new access staircase, car parking, refuse storage and cycle store.

The Committee had agreed to defer this item at its meeting on 29 November so that a site inspection could be undertaken.

Reasons for refusal were proposed and seconded.

RESOLVED that planning permission be REFUSED on the following grounds:

1. The proposed building, by virtue of its scale, depth and proximity to St Lawrence Way would appear as a prominent, bulky and looming feature, out of keeping with the set-back and staggered form of adjacent properties and harmful to the character of the area. This would be contrary to Policies Ho9, Ho13 and Pc13 of the Reigate and Banstead Borough Local Plan 2005 and Policy CS4 of the Reigate and Banstead Core Strategy 2014.
 

• (Attachment: 4)Item 6: 19 CHURCH ROAD AND REAR OF 17-23 CHURCH ROAD (38M/bytes)

The Committee considered an application for demolition of 19 Church Road and the erection of seven new detached dwellings on land to the rear of 17-23 Church Road and 58-60 Massetts Road Horley, with access from Church Road, together with car parking and landscaping.

A member of the public spoke against the application and the applicant spoke in its favour.

RESOLVED that planning permission be GRANTED subject to the following conditions:

1. The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission.

INFORMATIVES

1. Your attention is drawn to the safety benefits of installing sprinkler systems as an integral part of new development. Further information is available at www.firesprinklers.info.

2. The applicant is encouraged to provide renewable technology within the development hereby permitted in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

3. The applicant is advised that prior to the occupation of the development, adequate provision should be made for waste storage and collection. You are advised to contact the Council’s Recycling and Cleansing team to discuss the required number and specification of wheeled bins on rc@reigate-banstead.gov.uk or on the Council’s website at http://www.reigate-banstead.gov.uk/info/20051/commercial_waste.

4. You are advised that the Council will expect the following measures to be taken during any building operations to control noise, pollution and parking:

(a) Work that is audible beyond the site boundary should only be carried out between 08:00hrs to 18:00hrs Monday to Friday, 08:00hrs to 13:00hrs Saturday and not at all on Sundays or any Public and/or Bank Holidays;

(b) The quietest available items of plant and machinery should be used on site. Where permanently sited equipment such as generators are necessary, they should be enclosed to reduce noise levels;

(c) Deliveries should only be received within the hours detailed in (a) above;

(d) Adequate steps should be taken to prevent dust-causing nuisance beyond the site boundary. Such uses include the use of hoses to damp down stockpiles of materials, which are likely to generate airborne dust, to damp down during stone/slab cutting; and the use of bowsers and wheel washes;

(e) There should be no burning on site;

(f) Only minimal security lighting should be used outside the hours stated above; and

(g) Building materials and machinery should not be stored on the highway and contractors’ vehicles should be parked with care so as not to cause an obstruction or block visibility on the highway.

Further details of these noise and pollution measures can be obtained from the Council’s Environmental Health Services Unit. In order to meet these requirements and to promote good neighbourliness, the Council recommends that this site is registered with the Considerate Constructors Scheme - www.ccscheme.org.uk/index.php/site-registration.

5. The developer is reminded that it is an offence to allow materials to be carried from the site and deposited on or damage the highway from uncleaned wheels or badly loaded vehicles. The Highway Authority will seek, wherever possible, to recover any expenses incurred in clearing, cleaning or repairing highway surfaces and prosecutes persistent offenders. (Highways Act 1980 Sections 131, 148, 149).

6. When access is to be closed as a condition of planning permission and agreement with, or licence issued by, the Highway Authority Local Highways Service will require that the redundant dropped kerb be raised and any verge or footway crossing be reinstated to conform with the adjoining existing surfaces at the developers expense.

7. The permission hereby granted shall not be construed as authority to carry out any works on the highway. The applicant is advised that a permit and a mini Section 278 agreement must be obtained from the highway authority before any works are carried out on any footway, footpath, carriageway, verge or other land forming part of the highway. All works on the highway will require a permit and an application will need to be submitted to the County Council’s Street Works Team up to 3 months in advance of the intended start date, depending on the scale of works proposed and the classification of the road. Please see www.surreycc.gov.uk/roads-and-transport/road-permits-and-licences/the-traffic-management-permit-scheme

8. The developer is advised that as part of the detailed design of the highway works required by the above conditions, the County Highway Authority may require necessary accommodation works to street lights, road signs, road marking, highway drainage, surface covers, street trees, highway verges, highway surfaces, surface edge restraints and any other street furniture/equipment.

• (Attachment: 5)Item 7: 32-40 NORK WAY (7M/bytes)

The Committee considered an application for demolition of 32 Nork Way and erection of eight dwellings.

An accompanied site inspection was undertaken in respect of this application.

A further reason for refusal, to be added to the recommendation as set out in the report, was proposed and seconded.

RESOLVED that planning permission be REFUSED on the following grounds:

1. The proposed development would, by virtue of the cramped spacing, narrow plot size and contrived positioning of the uncharacteristically narrow dwelling of plot 6, result in a cramped form of development and an overdevelopment of the site, contrary to policies Ho9, Ho13 and Ho14 of the Reigate and Banstead Local Plan 2005, policies CS1 and CS4 of the Reigate and Banstead Core Strategy 2015 and the Reigate and Banstead Local Distinctiveness Guide 2004.

2. The proposed development would, by virtue of its form, scale and isolated position of the house on plot 1 on higher ground than the rest of the development, result in a development that would not sit comfortably with this site. The proposal would thereby result in a discordant form of development that would be out of symmetry and overly domineering in the context of the rest of the proposed development and fail to provide a satisfactory residential environment for the future residents contrary to policy Ho9 and Ho14 of the Reigate and Banstead Borough Local Plan 2005.

• (Attachment: 6)Item 8: 32-40 NORK WAY (5M/bytes)
