PS 20-00303-FUL Calfridus Way Playing Fields, Calfridus Way, Bracknell, Berkshire pdf icon PDF 562 KB

Installation of a 27.5m high Swann Type A monopole telecommunications mast with 3no. antennas, 2no. 0.6m dishes, 2no. ground based equipment cabinets and ancillary development thereto. Installed within an 8.0m x 6.0m compound with a 2.1m palisade fence

 

Minutes:

Installation of a 27.5m high Swann Type A monopole telecommunications

mast with 3no. antennas, 2no. 0.6m dishes, 2no. ground based equipment

cabinets and ancillary development thereto. Installed within an 8.0m x 6.0m

compound with a 2.1m palisade fence

 

The Committee noted:

 

·        Bracknell Town Councils objection to the application as detailed in the

            agenda papers.

·        A total of thirty-nine objections as summarised in the agenda papers.

·        The written statement from the registered public speaker, read out by the Planning Officer on their behalf.

 

A motion to approve the recommendation in the officer report was proposed but fell at the vote.

 

Therefore an alternative motion to refuse the application was proposed and seconded, and on being put to the vote was CARRIED.

 

RESOLVED that application 20/00303/FUL be REFUSED for the following reasons:

 

1.     By reason of its height and design, the proposed telecommunications mast would appear unduly prominent to the detriment of the character and visual amenities of the surrounding area. The proposed development would therefore be contrary to Saved Policies SC4 and EN20 of the Bracknell Forest Borough Local Plan, Policy CS7 of the Core Strategy Development Plan Document and the National Planning Policy Framework.

 

2.     By reason of its siting within a proposed local Green Space, the proposed telecommunications mast would not enhance the role and function of the local Green Space. The proposed development would therefore be contrary to Policy EV3 of the Bracknell Town Neighbourhood Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.

Minutes:

Outline application for demolition of existing Palm Hills complex and redevelopment of site to provide 81 dwellings (15no. one bedroom, 8no. two bedroom, 49no. three bedroom and 9no. four bedroom) with associated car parking, landscaping and amended access onto London Road (means of access, appearance, layout and scale to be considered, landscaping reserved for future consideration).

 

A virtual Members Site Briefing was held on Monday 9 November 2020 and was attended by Councillors Angell, Dr Barnard, Brown, Brossard, Dudley, Green, Mrs Hayes MBE, Heydon, Mrs Mattick, Mrs McKenzie, Mrs McKenzie-Boyle, Mossom, Turrell and Virgo.

 

The Committee noted:

·        The supplementary papers tabled at the meeting.

·        The viability report which had been tabled prior to the meeting.

·        Winkfield Parish Councils comments objecting to the proposal as detailed in the agenda papers

·        A total of six objections from neighbouring properties as summarised in the

            agenda papers.

·        The additional representation objecting to the application as detailed in the supplementary.

·        That further objections had been received prior to the start of the Committee.

 

 

A motion to approve the recommendation in the officer report was proposed but fell at the vote.

 

Therefore an alternative motion to refuse the application was proposed and seconded, and on being put to the vote was CARRIED.

 

RESOLVED that application 19/00847/OUT be REFUSED for the following reasons:

 

1.     The proposed scheme, by virtue of its scale, layout and the levels of activity and traffic generation associated with it, would have an overly intensive and urbanising impact on the character of the area, failing to provide an appropriate transitional form of development for this edge of settlement site, contrary to BFBLP Policy EN20, CSDPD Policy CS7, SALP Policy SA3, the Council’s Design SPD and the NPPF.

 

2.     It has not been adequately demonstrated that the proposed development will not adversely affect badgers, a protected species, that are known to forage within the site. As such the proposal is considered contrary to Policies: CSDPD CS1 and CS7.

 

3.     The occupants of the development would put extra pressure on the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area and the proposal would not satisfactorily mitigate its impacts in this respect. In the absence of a planning obligation to secure suitable avoidance and mitigation measures and access management monitoring arrangements, in terms that are satisfactory to the Local Planning Authority, the proposal would be contrary to Policy NRM6 of the South East Plan, Policy EN3 of the Bracknell Forest Borough Local Plan, Policy CS14 of the Core Strategy Development Plan Document and the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area Supplementary Planning Document (2018).

 

4.     It has not been demonstrated that the proposed development would incorporate a sustainable drainage system (SuDS) for the management of surface water run-off and it has not been shown that use of SuDS would be inappropriate for the development. This is contrary to the House of Commons: Written Statement (HCWS161) Sustainable Drainage Systems 18/12/2014, NPPF 2012 and the Flood Risk and Coastal Change PPG updated 15/04/2015.
