Retention of part single, part two storey rear and side extension, loft conversion, dormers and porch, external cladding to building and garage, provision of cycle and pram storage facilities, re-organisation and resurfacing of car park.

The Committee noted:

• The supplementary report of the Head of Development Management tabled at the meeting.
• The comments of Crowthorne Parish Council.
• Two objections.

Members expressed concerns in relation to the mock tudor cladding of the property not being in keeping with other properties in the area, and whether the gates to access the property would impact on the use of the car parking area. Concern was also expressed that work had begun on the property before planning permission had been granted. An enforcement notice had been prepared by the Legal Section of Bracknell Forest Council pending the outcome of this application.

Contrary to the Head of Development Management’s recommendation for approval, the Committee

RESOLVED that the application be refused for the following reason:

1. The addition of cladding has changed the external appearance of the nursery so that it has become out of character and out of keeping with the neighbouring properties in the locality and in the street scene, to the detriment of the visual amenity and local identity of the area. The development is therefore contrary to the aims of the Character Area Assessments SPD (chapter 3 Crowthorne), and to Policy EN20 of the Bracknell Forest Borough Local Plan, to Policy CS7 of the Core Strategy Development Plan Document, and to Policy CC6 of the South East Plan.

Change of use of Building C from office (B1a use) to 86 bed hotel (C1 use) with ancillary cafe and gym, and associated minor alterations to the elevations and landscaping.

Summary Of Reason(s) For Decision:

The following development plan policies have been taken into account in determining this planning application:

Bracknell Forest Borough Local Plan (BFBLP):

EN1 – which seeks to protect tree and hedgerow cover

EN20 – Design considerations in new development

M9 – Vehicle and cycle parking

Core Strategy Development Plan Document (CSDPD):

CS7 – Design

(Please note that this is not intended to be an exhaustive list).

The following material considerations have been taken into account:

The proposed development will provide additional parking in an area where there is currently a shortfall of parking.  It will not unduly detract from the character of the area.

The proposal is considered to comply with BFBLP Policies EN1, EN20 and M9 and CSDPD Policy CS7.  The proposal will enable additional parking facilities to be provided and it will not have an undue adverse impact upon the existing grassed and landscaped areas, the character of neighbouring property or area or significantly affect the amenities of neighbouring property.  The planning application is therefore  ...  view the full minutes text for item 17.

To seek clarification as to whether Members wish details submitted in respect of the discharge of condition 11 (Construction Traffic) of planning application 11/00743/FUL to be brought to this Committee insofar as they relate to the enabling works for the development.       

The purpose of this report was to seek clarification as to whether Members would like details submitted in respect of the discharge of condition 11 (Construction Traffic) of planning application 11/00743/FUL to be brought to the Committee which related to the enabling works for the development.

At its meeting on 15 March 2012 the Planning Committee resolved to approve the above planning application subject to the completion of a Section 106 agreement and confirmation from the Environment Agency that its concerns had been addressed.

At the meeting Members requested that details submitted for the discharge of condition 11 (Construction Traffic) be brought back to the Committee for decision.

The applicant had advised that the construction would be undertaken as a phased operation. Ahead of the main construction phase which would include the creation of the access onto Foresters Way and a haul route linking this to the hospital site, the Trust needed to undertake a number of enabling works. The first of these consisted of the construction of the new energy centre to free up the site of the existing energy centre and the formation of a temporary secure perimeter.

It was proposed that these works would be subject to the following restrictions:

Working hours would be restricted to the following:

• Monday to Friday: 8am to 5.30pm
• Saturday (if applicable): 8am to 1pm

There would be no deliveries before 8am or after 5.30pm.

In view of the urgent need to undertake these enabling works in order to prevent slippage in the main construction programme, the applicant had requested that the discharge of these details in so far as they related to the enabling works only, be dealt with under delegated powers, with only details of the construction traffic for the main build programme (when access would be from Foresters Way) coming before the Committee.

RESOLVED that

(i)         the discharge of details submitted in respect of condition 11 (Construction Traffic) of planning application 11/00743/FUL, be delegated to the Head of Development Management in so far as they related to enabling works only.
