The criteria for public speaking had been met in respect of this application and the Committee was addressed by the registered speaker Christopher McDonagh objecting to the application and Phil Just, from the Choice Ltd speaking in response.
The Committee noted: · The supplementary report of the Head of Planning tabled at the meeting. · The comments of Binfield Parish Council recommending refusal. · The comments of East Berkshire NHS Clinical Commissioning Group. · The thirty five objections as detailed in the agenda papers. · The comments from Binfield Badger Group, detailed in the supplementary report.
Having read the officer report and heard the debate, the Committee were not persuaded by the issues and arguments raised and, therefore an alternative motion was proposed and seconded and being put to the vote was CARRIED.
RESOLVED that planning application 18/00662/FUL be REFUSED for the following reasons:
01. By reason of its bulk and mass the proposed care home building would result in an over-development of the site, out of keeping with the surrounding pattern and form of development, to the detriment of the character and visual amenities of the area and the living conditions of the occupiers of adjoining properties. The proposed development would therefore be contrary to Policy EN20 of the Bracknell Forest Local Plan and Policy CS7 of the Core Strategy Development Plan Document.
02. 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 Avoidance and Mitigation Supplementary Planning Document (2012).
03. In the absence of a planning obligation to secure a travel plan with associated fees and deposit payments the proposal would not cater satisfactorily for the needs of pedestrians, cyclists and vehicle users to the detriment of road safety and sustainable development and would therefore be contrary to Policy M4 of the Bracknell Forest Borough Local Plan, Policies CS1, CS23 and CS24 of the Core Strategy Development Plan Document and Policy TC1 of the Binfield Neighbourhood Plan.

01. The proposed development would not provide safe and suitable access for pedestrians through the car park of the Rose and Crown public house. This would result in pedestrians coming into conflict with vehicles reversing and manoeuvring within the car park to the detriment of pedestrian safety. The development would therefore be contrary to Saved Policy M6 of the Bracknell Forest Borough Local Plan, Policy CS23 of the Core Strategy Development Plan Document and the National Planning Policy Framework (2018).
02. 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).
