KINGSKERSWELL - 18/01140/MAJ - Former Galliford Try Infrastructure Site Office, Old Newton Road - New employment development incorporating Use Classes B1(a) (offices), B1(c) (light industrial) and B8 (storage and distribution) with associated parking and landscaping pdf icon PDF 532 KB

Additional documents:

Minutes:

Councillor Haines declared an Appendix B, Paragraph 12 interest, by virtue of his membership of, and position of Chairman of Kingskerswell Parish Council. Councillor Haines spoke but did not vote on the matter. It was noted that the Vice Chairman would have a casting vote should it be necessary to exercise this right.

 

The Senior Planning Officer referred the meeting to the previously circulated updates document in relation to further information submitted by the agent on proposals to minimise carbon footprint in accordance with Local Plan Policies S7 and EN3. The use of the larger unit would be B1c light industrial. The elevations would consist of more cladding and masonry work and details would be submitted once the occupier was known. In relation to concerns raised about the impact on the slip road onto the A380, County Highways had raised no objections to the proposal.

 

Public Speaker, Objector - spoke on behalf of the Parish Council objecting on the grounds of: there is no need for further industrial premises; there are empty employment units in the area; loss of a green area; the use of the land as the Galliford Try site was a temporary permission. It was understood that it would be returned to its former state; the grass growing on these fields was round-bailed in 2018 proving that it is agricultural land; it will hamper the introduction of the Aller Valley Country Park and Aller Valley Trail in accordance with Policy KK4; contrary to policies S1 and EN2A; the site is visible and residents of Kingskerswell and wildlife would be disturbed, particularly by light pollution and noise.   

 

Public Speaker, Supporter – the development would provide job opportunities; it is well situated as an exception site for employment, close to road links and bus routes; KK4 allocation is 75 hectares, the site is just 2.4 hectares and separated from the remainder of the site by the road, railway, residential house and trees; smaller units would be provided for small and indigenous businesses; the site is deliverable; there are no major infrastructure issues; only 22.4% footprint coverage, when 35% is the norm and the Council’s guide is 40%, so low density to allow for a well landscaped site, with the retention of trees and hedgerows; and the village will benefit from the development.

 

Comments raised by Councillors included: concern for cars joining A380 on the slip road when travelling behind a lorry it is difficult to reach the speed to join; additional lorries from the site would exacerbate this issue; employment close to residential areas reduces travel distance; contrary to policy and should be part of the Aller County Park as allocated in the Local Plan; and vacant employment units in the area.

 

The Business Manager referred the meeting to page 61 of the agenda and the comments of the Economy and Regeneration Officer as evidence of demand for the units proposed.

 

Further comments from Councillors included: two fields and the railway line formed a buffer zone around the site,  ...  view the full minutes text for item 33f
