Application for Major Development - Tadgedale Quarry, Mucklestone Road, Loggerheads. Renew Land Developments Ltd. 16/00202/OUT pdf icon PDF 64 KB

Additional documents:

Minutes:

Resolved:     That the application be refused for the following reasons:

 

(Proposed by Councillor Loades and seconded by Councillor Fear)

 

Refused on same grounds as 15/00015/FUL that the development would constitute unsustainable development by reason of its location and lack of accessibility to services and facilities including Mucklestone Primary School there being no suitable and safe footpath access to that school from the development. The development would result in a high level of private car use having regard to its location and limited bus services with additional reasons relating to the following:

(i)               In the absence of a planning obligation securing the long

term maintenance and management of public open space on the site, the development would not be acceptable

(ii)              In the absence of a planning obligation, and having

regard to the likely additional pupils arising from a development of this scale and the capacity of existing educational provision in the area, the development fails to make an appropriate contribution towards primary school provision, contrary to policy.

(iii)            In the absence of a planning obligation the development

fails to provide 25% of the total number of proposed dwellings as affordable dwellings which are required to provide a balanced and well-functioning housing market.

(iv)            In the absence of a planning obligation towards Travel

Plan monitoring costs, the required contribution to sustainable transport measures would not be secured in accordance with policy.

(v)             In the absence of a planning obligation towards the

provision of a travel plan for St. Mary’s CE Primary School, the required contribution to sustainable transport measures, would not be secured in accordance with policy.
