In the event of the S106 agreement not being completed by 19th August 2022, the Assistant Director: Planning be authorised to either extend the period further or refuse the application for the following reasons: -

 

01    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 Regulation 63(5) of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended), 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).

8.            21/01090/FUL Abbey House Grenville Place Bracknell Berkshire

Erection of an additional third floor storey to the existing building together with extension at second floor level to create a further six residential units (4 x 2 bedroom and 2 x 1 bedroom) and ancillary development.

 

The Committee noted:

 

·         The supplementary report tabled at the meeting.

·         The comments of Bracknell Town Council recommending refusal as detailed

in the agenda.

·         The 7 representations received as summarised in the agenda.

·         The additional letter of representation as detailed in the supplementary report.

·         The letter sent by the agent annexed to the supplementary report.

·         That a site visit took place on the 14 May 2022 which was attended by Councillors Birch, Brossard, Brown, Dudley and Virgo.

 

A motion to APPROVE the recommendation in the officer report was proposed at the Planning Committee on the 21 April 2022 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 21/01090/FUL be REFUSED for the following reasons:

 

1. The development fails to make adequate provision for the parking of vehicles in accordance with the Council’s adopted parking standards and the Local Planning Authority is not persuaded by the submitted evidence that a relaxation to these standards will not lead to on-site congestion and the displacement of vehicles onto surrounding roads increasing the risk of illegal, inconsiderate or obstructive parking, which would in turn have an adverse effect on the free flow of traffic and highway safety. As a result, the proposed development is contrary to Policy M9 of the BFBLP and the Parking Standards SPD (2016).

 

2. 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, the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area Supplementary Planning Document (2018).
