Agenda item

Erection of 70 dwelling houses and associated infrastructure with new access off A6 Preston Lancaster New Road.

This application was before the Committee for determination for a second time after being deferred at the 7 April 2021 Planning Committee meeting. The Committee deferred the application to encourage further consideration of highway safety impacts and mitigation measures, to be discussed between the applicant and Lancashire County Highways, with specific reference to crossing the A6 opposite the site in particular the type and location of the crossing and the potential use of guard railings.

 

As the Committee had visited the site previously a site visit did not take place on this occasion. Nevertheless, site photos and plans were displayed by the Development Manager to familiarise members of the site and its surroundings.

 

An update sheet with additional information was published on the council’s website, this information only having become available after the original agenda was published. The committee considered the update sheet, which contained updated information about the access to the site and a revised Highway Works Plan, therefore, conditions 2 and 7 had been amended.

 

Alexis De Pol, the agent of the applicant, spoke in support.

 

Mark Edwards, the applicant’s highways consultant, addressed members in support of the application.

 

Councillor Stirzaker joined the meeting during the discussions of item 5A, therefore, she was unable to vote.

 

Members of the committee raised a number of concerns over the visibility of the pedestrian refuge and the speed limit of this particular section of the A6, in particular members expressed the need for Lancashire County Council Highways to reduce the speed limit to 40 mph.

 

It was proposed by Councillor Ballard and seconded by Councillor I Amos, and a decision was taken that the application be approved, in accordance with the recommendation, under the provisions of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, subject to the following conditions and the changes to conditions 2 and 7 as reported on the update sheet and a S106 legal agreement to secure on-site affordable housing (30%) and green infrastructure and financial contributions towards the A6 Highway Strategy and health care. That the Head of Planning Services be authorised to issue the decision following the satisfactory completion of the S106 agreement. It was also agreed that the Head of Planning Services would write to the local highway authority to ask them to consider the following matters concerning the development:

 

1. the use of natural stones/rocks instead of concrete for the disruptive paving.

2. the use of taller lighting infrastructure on the pedestrian refuge island similar to that used nearby.

3. the reduction in the speed limit along that stretch of the A6 to 40mph.

 

Conditions:

 

1.  The development must be begun before the expiration of three years beginning with the date of this permission.

           

Reason: This condition is required to be imposed pursuant to Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

 

2. The development shall be carried out, except where modified by the conditions to this permission, in accordance with the Planning Application received by the Local Planning Authority on 02.03.2020 including the following plans/documents:

Alternatively, prior to the construction of any of the dwellings hereby approved, a gas monitoring programme and risk assessment of the results shall be undertaken to demonstrate that the above protection measures are not required.  The results shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Any gas monitoring programme must be carried out over a period of at least three months and include at least three readings where the atmospheric pressure is below 1000mb.  Gas flow rates must also be provided. 

           

Reason: The footprint of the proposed development is within the immediate vicinity of an area of infilled ground.  The nature of the fill is unknown.  Works are therefore required in the interests of public safety and in accordance with Policy CDMP1 of the Wyre Local Plan (2011-31).
