Representations were received and taken into account by the Committee in respect of the following applications: -
ITEM 1 – APPLICATION FOR OUTLINE PLANNING PERMISSION AT WINDSOR COTTAGE, WINDSOREDGE LANE, NAILSWORTH, STROUD – (S.12/2533/OUT)
The Senior Planning Officer presented the application for outline planning permission at Windsor Cottage, Windsoredge Lane, Nailsworth, Stroud. The application had been deferred at a previous meeting to allow negotiations between Officers and the Applicant in relation to layout. The Senior Planning Officer drew Member’s attention to the Late Pages (attached). Many of the objections were highway safety, parking, overlooking and loss of privacy. In addition to the Late Pages update, the Senior Planner also informed the Committee of changes in the recommended wording of Conditions 10 and 11, as set out in Appendix a to these Minutes. As the application had been heard at the meeting held on 9 April 2013 only the Ward Member was invited to address the Committee. The Ward Member was invited by the Chair to address the Committee. Councillor Paul Carter reiterated comments made previously and stated that the layout submitted would only make the issue of overlooking worse for the neighbouring properties. The proposed parking had caused concern for both residents and the Ward Member. During questions it was confirmed that the height of the proposed dwelling would be controlled by Condition 11 ensuring that the dwelling would be no higher than a one and half storey building. The Senior Planning Officer responded to Members’ queries regarding distance with a diagram showing the proximity of the surrounding dwellings. Officers explained that the siting of the proposed dwelling was no longer a reserved matter and would be as shown on the revised drawing. A Motion to ACCEPT the Officer’s recommendation was proposed by Councillor John Marjoram and seconded by Councillor Graham Littleton, with the amendments to the Conditions. It was suggested that the applicant could erect the dwelling by setting it into the earth, as this would reduce the height. Some Members thought the proposed application was overdevelopment, would result in unsuitable highway conditions and would cause a loss of amenity, privacy and light. On being put to the vote, there were 4 votes for the Motion, 3 votes against, and 1 abstention; it was declared, CARRIED. Accordingly, the Committee
RESOLVED To PERMIT application S.12/2533/OUT subject to the conditions stated in the report and the amendments in Appendix a to these Minutes. At this juncture the Chair vacated the Chair. DC.129 ITEM 2 – APPLICATION FOR FULL PLANNING PERMISSION ON LAND OFF SWALLOWCROFT, EASTINGTON (S.13/0399/FUL)
The Planning Officer presented the application for full planning permission on land at Swallowcroft, Eastington, Stonehouse. The application sought permission for the erection of 30 dwellings. The Planning Officer drew Members’ attention to the Late Pages, in which further objections to the application had been raised. Members were also informed that the proposal would provide 30% affordable housing and a contribution for off-site recreation, library and education. The Vice-Chair invited the Ward Member to address the Committee. Councillor Ken Stephens raised residents concerns regarding the proposed development a number of objections related to the massing, density, scale and the intrusion into the open countryside. The Parish Council were invited to address the Committee. Their representative Ian Stewart informed the Committee that whilst the Parish Council were not opposed to development within the village, any scheme would need to be compatible. The proposed development was thought to be wholly inappropriate, out of character and would overlook existing properties. The Parish Council urged Members of the Committee to refuse the application. The Chair invited anyone wishing to speak in opposition to the application. Mr Tom Lowe strongly objected to the proposed development, stating that town houses would not be in keeping with the surrounding dwellings. Mr Lowe also thought that the Developer had ignored the Parish Plan in which the top priority was retirement and affordable housing. The Chair invited a supporter of the application to address the Committee; there were none. A Motion to ACCEPT the Officer’s recommendation was proposed by Councillor Ken Stephens with the following additional reason for refusal: . “The application site is prominent from adjacent well used public footpaths where there are extensive landscape views, which include the Cotswold escarpment. The proposed houses on rising land would encroach into the countryside creating an abrupt hard edge to the village. The massing, density and height of the proposal would exacerbate the harmful presence of houses. The proposal would fundamentally spoil the setting of the village in the landscape, including distant village views. The proposal is therefore contrary to Stroud District Local Plan Policy HN10 and paragraphs 17 and 59 of the NPPF.”
The Motion was seconded by Councillor David Drew. Members agreed that the existing Swallowcroft estate was of a sensitive design with the majority of the dwellings being of one storey. Members were also concerned that the proposed development would be visible from the main road. On being put to the vote the Motion was CARRIED unanimously.
Accordingly, the Committee RESOLVED To REFUSE application S.13/0399/FUL for the reasons stated in the report and the additional reason set out in Appendix a to these Minutes. ITEM 3 – APPLICATION FOR THE APPROVAL OF RESERVED MATTERS ON LAND PARCEL 10A AND 10B, FORMER GATE SITE, UPTON ST LEONARDS (S.12/2595/REM)
The D.C Team Manager presented the application for approval of reserved matters on land at Parcel 10A and 10B, Former Gate Site, Upton St Leonards. The application sought permission for the erection of 40 dwellings. The overall application was for the erection of 50 dwellings, 10 of which were located in Tewkesbury Borough Council. The D.C Team Manager informed the Committee of the planning history surrounding this site. 26 units of the proposed application would affordable units. The dwellings near the centre of the village open space would be of a larger ‘Georgian’ style with smaller fragmented properties towards the rural edge. The slow implementation of the Section 106 Agreement had been largely due to the slow economic situation and trigger points not being reached. The Chair invited Ward Member to address the Committee; there were none. The Chair invited the Parish Council to address the Committee; there were none. The Chair invited anyone wishing to speak in opposition to the application; there were none. The Chair invited a supporter of the application to address the Committee; there were none. The Members sought clarification on energy efficiency measures. The D.C Team Manager reminded Members that the outline application (in principle) had been permitted in 2005 and as such could not be conditioned at this late stage. Members were concerned about the parking arrangements outside of the Georgian properties; it was pointed out on the plans that recess bays would be installed. It was confirmed that an additional condition would be added to require that the proposed development would be carried out in accordance with the approved plans; this would include the ridge heights of the properties. A Motion to ACCEPT the Officer’s recommendation was proposed by Graham Littleton with the additional condition and seconded by Councillor John Marjoram. On being put to the vote the Motion was CARRIED unanimously. Accordingly, the Committee RESOLVED To PERMIT application S.12/2595/REM subject to the conditions stated in the report and in Appendix a to these Minutes. ITEM 4 – APPLICATION FOR FULL PLANNING PERMISSION ON LAND AT PROSPECT VILLAS, COPPICE HILL, CHALFORD HILL, STROUD (S.13/0389/FUL) The D.C Team Manager presented the application for full planning permission on land at Prospect Villas, Coppice Hill, Chalford Hill, Stroud. The application sought permission for the erection of a dwelling within the domestic curtilage of an existing property. The application also sought permission for the demolition of an existing garage. The Chair invited the first Ward Member to address the Committee; Councillor Liz Peters spoke in opposition to the application. Councillor Peters voiced concerns about the removal of what was thought to be parking for neighbouring cars. The Committee was informed that Coppice Hill could not cope with further traffic movements and the proposed dwelling would be overdevelopment in the Conservation Area. The Chair invited the second Ward Member to address the Committee; Councillor Debbie Young spoke in support of the application. Councillor Young had seen the site and thought that the demolition of the existing garage would improve the current parking situation and road safety. The Chair invited the Parish Council to address the Committee; there were none. The Chair invited anyone wishing to speak in opposition to the application; Liz Parsons raised concerns regarding the parking on Coppice Hill and height of the proposed dwelling. Mrs Parsons felt that there were other plots more suited to development. Mr Roger Gransmore also spoke in opposition to the application. Mr Gransmore was very concerned that if the proposed dwelling was permitted the site would be cramped and overdeveloped. Mr Gransmore informed the Committee that a 7 metre wall would be the only outlook from one of his windows, which enabled light into his living room. The Chair invited anyone wishing to speak in support of the application to address the Committee; Mrs Mikala Reid Ritzau informed the Committee that the family had resided in the 4 storey home for almost 40 years and it was not suitable for retirement. The Applicant stated that she had consulted the neighbours and had attended pre-application meetings. The applicant told the Committee the proposed new parking arrangements would be safer and that the proposed dwelling was of a modest design. Members sought clarification regarding the ownership of the application site and the effect of the proposal on neighbouring dwellings. Due to uncertainty about the levels and the nature of the neighbouring boundary , there was a call for deferment. A Motion to DEFER the application was proposed by Councillor Dorcas Binns and seconded by Councillor Nick Hurst. It was agreed that application would also be subject of a further Sites Inspection Panel visit. On being put to the vote the Motion was CARRIED unanimously. Accordingly, the Committee RESOLVED To DEFER application S.13/0389/FUL to seek further information and a Sites Inspection Panel. ITEM 5 – APPLICATION FOR FULL PLANNING PERMISSION AT THE COTTAGE, FAR OAKRIDGE, STROUD (S.13/0360/FUL) The D.C Team Manager presented the application for full planning permission at The Cottage, Far Oakridge, Stroud. The application sought permission for the demolition of an existing two-storey house with a replacement two-storey house. The Chair invited the Ward Member to address the Committee; Councillor Daniel Le Fleming spoke in opposition to the proposed development. The Ward Member stated that the proposed application was in contrary to Local Plan Polices HN14, HN16, BE1 and HN8, these polices relate to size, detracting from the surroundings, design and materials respectively. The Chair invited the Parish Council to address the Committee; there were none. The Chair invited anyone wishing to speak in opposition to the application to address the Committee. Mr Ellisinformed Members that all the residents of Far Oakridge opposed the proposed development. The style was thought to be alien to the area and not in keeping. The application would be contrary to Local Plan Policy HN14 as the replacement dwelling would be 35% larger than the existing property. The Chair invited anyone wishing to speak in support of the application; Mr Tom Miller informed the Committee that various options had been considered prior to the current application. The proposed dwelling would meet environmental credentials and help with the massing on the road side. Overlaid plans were shown to Members which outlined the comparative footprints and siting of the proposed development. A Motion to REFUSE the application was proposed by Councillor John Marjoram, and seconded by Councillor Graham Littleton. The proposal was contrary to Local Plan Policies HN14, NE8 and NPPF Paras 115, 17 and 58. The proposed development would be too assertive and hostile to the character of the area, was too large in relation to the original dwelling, the length of the proposed dwelling was inappropriate and it would not enhance the AONB or the social well-being of the community respectively. During debate some Members thought that the design of the proposed development was inappropriate and looked too ‘agricultural’ for the setting. On being put to the vote, there were 5 votes for the Motion, 2 votes against, and 2 abstentions; it was declared, CARRIED. Accordingly, the Committee RESOLVED To REFUSE application S.13/0360/FUL for the reasons stated in these Minutes and in Appendix a. ITEM 6 – APPLICATION FOR FULL PLANNING PERMISSION AT THE RECTORY, STROUD ROAD, EDGE, STROUD (S.13/0065/FUL) The D.C Team Manager presented the application for full planning permission at The Rectory, Stroud Road, Edge, Stroud. The application sought permission for a change of use to a care home, which included the conversion of the Coach House to provide living accommodation.
The application had been subject to a Sites Inspection Panel visit where Members had been able to look at the relationship between the site and the neighbouring property. The Chair invited the Ward Member to address the Committee; there were none. The Chair invited the Parish Council to address the Committee; Councillor Rob Lewis spoke in opposition to the application. Whilst the Parish Council and the residents of Edge did not wish to discriminate against the residents of the site, numerous noise disturbance complaints had been made. Many of the complaints related to violent distressing sounds emanating from the care home. The Parish Council were concerned about the safety of residents as a main road passed in close proximity to the care home. The Parish Council requested that a condition be added to the proposal relating to fixed, obscured glazing at the rear of the property and reducing the number of residents to 6. The Chair invited anyone wishing to speak in opposition of the application to address the Committee; there were none. The Chair invited anyone wishing to speak in support of the application to address the Committee; there were none. The D.C Team Manager informed the Committee that multiple occupancy of up to 6 residents did not require planning permission. The proposed conversion of the Coach House would allow the care home to provide living accommodation for 8 residents and would therefore change the classification to a C2 use. The Committee were also informed that no formal noise disturbance complaints had been recorded through Environmental Health. The Head of Planning confirmed that an additional condition requiring fixed glazing to the rear could be added should Members permit the application. This would assist with noise both to and from the Coach House. Plans were displayed to Members showing that windows would be located in the gable ends and to the front of the property, which could be opened. The rear windows could be fixed shut for lighting purposes only. A Motion to PERMIT the application with the additional condition regarding the windows was proposed by Councillor Graham Littleton and seconded by Councillor Dorcas Binns. On being put to the vote, there were 6 votes for the Motion, 0 votes against, and 3 abstentions; it was declared, CARRIED. Accordingly, the Committee RESOLVED To PERMIT application S.13/0065/FUL subject to the conditions stated in the report and in Appendix a to these Minutes. ITEM 7 – APPLICATION FOR FULL PLANNING PERMISSION AT 4 JOHN STREET, STROUD (S.13/0643/FUL) The D.C Team Manager presented the application for full planning permission at 4 John Street, Stroud. The application sought permission for the refurbishment of the building facing John Street with the installation new windows, doors and awning. The application also sought permission for the resurfacing of the external courtyards, cladding of facades and an insulated render system.
The Chair invited the Ward Member to address the Committee; Councillor John Marjoram read a statement prepared by Councillor Andy Read. The Committee heard that the building had been derelict prior the occupation of The Stroud Art Space. The Stroud Arts Space had brought economic and social benefits to the town and also raised national attention. The Ward Member stated that the application adhered to NPPF Para 65 in that local planning authorities should not refuse planning permission for sustainable buildings (or infrastructure) due to concerns relating to incompatibility with an existing townscape if those concerns have been mitigated by good design. The Chair invited the Town Council to address the Committee; there were none. The Chair invited anyone wishing to speak in opposition of the application to address the Committee; there were none. The Chair invited anyone wishing to speak in support of the application to address the Committee; Mr Jimmy McKinney informed the Committee that for every pound the Arts Council provided, studies showed that £5 went into the local economy. The Stroud Arts Space and the Architect had carefully considered whether the external rendering of the building would cause any harm to the Conservation Area or to the Listed Baptist Church. The insulation proposed would make the building 7 times more fuel efficient. Photos of the building were shown to the Committee, in which they were able to see the brickwork. The Head of Planning informed the Committee that under Permitted Development rights the building could be painted without the need for planning permission. A Motion to PERMIT the application was proposed by Councillor Dorcas Binns and seconded by John Marjoram on grounds that the proposed development would not be harmful to the Conservation Area or to the Listed Building. Councillor John Marjoram as Ward Member spoke in support of the application and provided Members of the Committee with figures relating to energy efficiency and cost saving with the implementation of the insulating render scheme. On being put to the vote the Motion was CARRIED unanimously. Accordingly, the Committee RESOLVED To PERMIT application S.13/0643/FUL subject to the condition in Appendix a to these Minutes.

ITEM No: 5 Application: S.13/0360/FUL Additional letter of public objection: Jill Mainwaring, Gillyflower Cottage, Far Oakridge – details missing from Officer report. Amendments to Item 1
Amended Condition 10: Prior to the commencement of the development hereby permitted, details and plans showing the finished slab level of the dwelling hereby permitted, including cross sections through the site, showing the relationship with adjoining land or highway and referenced to a known datum outside of the site, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The development hereby permitted shall then only be carried out in accordance with those approved details.
In the interests of the amenities of the area and to accord with Policy HN8 and GE1
of the adopted Stroud District Local Plan, November 2005. Amended Condition 11: Notwithstanding the submitted indicative details, the proposed dwelling shall have a maximum ridge height of 7m taken from finished slab level.
In the interests of neighbour amenity and to comply with the merits of Policy GE1 of
the adopted Stroud District Local Plan, November 2005. Amendments to Item 2 Additional reason for refusal: The application site is prominent from adjacent well used public footpaths where there are extensive landscape views, which include the Cotswold escarpment. The proposed houses on rising land would encroach into the countryside creating an abrupt hard edge to the village. The massing, density and height of the proposal would exacerbate the harmful presence of houses. The proposal would fundamentally spoil the setting of the village in the landscape, including distant village views. The proposal is therefore contrary to Stroud District Local Plan Policy HN10 and paragraphs 17 and 59 of the NPPF. Amendments to Item 3
Additional condition The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in all respects in strict accordance with the approved plans listed below, and in particular the ridge line of plots 16 to 23 shall not exceed 9.6m at any point:

Additional condition All planting, seeding or turfing comprised in the approved details of landscaping shall be carried out in the first complete planting and seeding seasons following the occupation of the buildings, or the completion of the development to which it relates, whichever is the sooner.

Amendments to Item 4 (S.13/0389/FUL).
Defer to seek more information on levels, site boundaries and for repeat SIP. Amendments to Item 5 (S.13/0360/FUL).
Decision to refuse, contrary to officer recommendation. Reason for refusal: The village is characterised by its rural approaches and surroundings with houses informally sited in large front gardens back from the road, around a small green. The current building is set back from the road, offset at an angle and is low key. This proposal is an overly assertive new long building, sited close to the road, which would create an oppressive, harsh enclosure into an otherwise sedate rustic streetscene. The proposal would harm the character of the village and its contribution to the Cotswolds AONB. It is contrary to Stroud District Local Plan Policies HN14, NE8 and NPPF paragraphs 17, 58, 115. Amendments to Item 6 (S.13/0065/FUL). Additional condition Prior to first occupation the rooflights on the rear roofslope of the coach house shall be made non opening and shall be maintained as such thereafter. Reason: In the interests of residential amenity in accordance with Policy GE1 of Stroud District Local Plan. Amendments to Item 7 (S.13/0643/FUL).
New condition Prior to the commencement of works, a sample panel of one square metre of the proposed render shall be constructed on site and shall be approved in writing by the Head of Development Services. The panel shall be constructed and protected from the weather at least 14 days prior to inspection by the Local Planning Authority and the approved panel shall be maintained in situ for the duration of the works. The works shall then be carried out to match the approved panel.
To respect the character of building and its contribution to the Conservation Area.
New informative
For the purposes of Article 31 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2010, the following reasons for the Council's decision are summarised below together with a summary of the Policies and Proposals contained within the Development Plan which are relevant to this decision: {\b PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS - NATIONAL AND LOCAL PLANNING POLICIES} In considering this application, the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) have been considered as well as Policies GE1, BE5 and BE12 of the adopted Stroud District Local Plan, November 2005 which is in conformity with the NPPF and can still be given weight. Policy GE1 prevents an unacceptable level of noise, general disturbance, smell, fumes, loss of daylight or sunlight, loss of privacy or an overbearing effect. Chapter 7 of the NPPF stresses the importance of quality design.
Chapter 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and the technical advice guide that accompanied PPS5 which is still remains in effect relates to conserving and enhancing the historic environment, it applies to listed buildings and their setting and to the character and appearance of conservation areas. It seeks to protect the significance of heritage assets and preserve or improve the setting that makes a positive contribution. Local Plan Policy BE5 is also relevant. Policy BE5 requires that the siting of development respects existing open spaces, pattern of building layout, trees and boundary treatment, and does not harm any positive contribution made to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area. The scale, design, proportions, detailing and materials used in the proposed development must be sympathetic to the characteristic form of area, the adjacent buildings and spaces. It should not cause loss of features of historic of characteristic value, and maintains important views in/out. Local Plan Policy BE12 protects the setting of listed buildings. The site lies behind the main John St facade. There is some render already in the area. The brickwork is not in good condition and very patchy with considerable areas of whitening which look unsightly. The proposal does not harm the character of the Conservation Area or setting of listed buildings.
