A site visit had been held on Saturday, 16 March 2019, which had been attended

By Councillor Angell, Mrs Angell, Birch, Brossard, Dudley, Mrs Hayes, Mrs Ingham. Mrs McKenzie, Mrs McKenzie-Boyle, Thompson and Virgo.

 

The Committee noted:

·         The supplementary report of the Head of Planning tabled at the meeting.

·         The comments from Winkfield Parish Council.

·         The comments from The Bracknell Forest Society.

·         The five letters of objection received from residents, as summarised in the Agenda papers.

 

RESOLVED that the application be REFUSED for the following reason(s):

 

01.   The proposal would result in a large development, of increased height, scale and mass of built form than currently on the site, and out of scale with other development in the area. The proposal would require the removal of a number of protected trees. Accordingly the proposal would result in an incongruous development, harmful to the character and appearance of the area and the site. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies CS7 and CS9 of the CSDPD, EN1, EN8 and EN20 of the BFBLP and to the NPPF.

 

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).

 

03.  In the absence of a planning obligation to secure a minimal level of care per week, a travel plan and contribution towards off site bio-diversity improvements in terms that are satisfactory to the Local Planning Authority, the proposal would be contrary to Policy CS6 of the Core Strategy Development Plan Document and the Planning Obligations SPD (2016).
