the wider Glasgow region. On these grounds, it is considered that
criterion (a) of Policy IB11 is satisfied.
Amenity, Highways and Parking Arrangements and Noise
The amenity of the area will be visually enhanced by the proposed
development. There will be no adverse effect to any adjoining
development.
The Transport Statement prepared by Dennis Wilson Partnership,
considers the original proposed development in detail and concluded that
there was no adverse effect in terms of traffic and parking. The Council’s
Transportation Section had no objections to the original scheme,
although suggested a condition relating to parking at the DLL site be
provided. A further statement has been prepared by DWP in respect of
the amended scheme now submitted and is attached to this Planning
Statement. The reduced scheme, involving a smaller number of rooms
and reduced floor space will consequently have less impact on the
surrounding roads and access points in terms of traffic generation.
There is an appropriate number of car parking spaces proposed for the
size of the development and there will be no impact on the DLL car park.
In terms of traffic/parking and in respect of highway matters, the
proposed development complies with criterion (b).
In respect of noise, the proposed use is not a noise generating one.
There should be no effect on the surrounding residents as most people
using the car park will be staying in the hotel which will mean that there
will be no late night noise from people leaving the premises. In terms of
motorway/airport noise to hotel guests, I can advise that all the rooms will
be at least double-glazed which will limit or remove any disturbance from
outside noise. All Premier Inn sites are well managed, 24 hours a day
and Premier Inn offer a “guaranteed good night’s sleep” or guests qualify
for a complete refund. Moreover, the building has been sited to comply
with the Council policy of having no building within 35 metres of the
adjoining motorway. Criterion 6
