Planning Committee – 25 th February 2009 4.1 No: 4 Number: H/2008/0531 Applicant: Mr MATT MATHARU STATION LANE H ARTLEPOOL TS25 1BG Agent: S J R Architects Suite 101 The Innovation Centre Venture Court Queens Meadow Business Park HARTLEPOOL TS25 5TG Date valid: 08/09/2008 Development: Outline application for the erection of a 30 bed residential care home with associated car parking Location: 34 STATION LANE H ARTLEPOOL H ARTLEPOOL The Application and Site 4.1 The application site is located on Station Lane in Seaton Carew on a main link road into and out of Seaton Carew. 4.2 The site is approximately 0.12 hectares in size and accommodates a 3 storey double fronted Victorian property, which was converted into a residential care home in 1987 (under application H/FUL/0520/87). In 1988 an application was approved for a 2 storey extension to the rear (H/FUL/0022/88). A smaller infill extension was approved in 1997 (H/FUL/0235/97). 4.3 There have been 2 recent outline applications associated with the proposal to demolish the existing care home and rebuild: 4.4 H/2007/0759 comprised an application for a 29 bed residential care home. This was withdrawn by the agent as there were concerns from the case officer regarding the scale and design of the proposal. 4.5 H/2008/0213 comprised an application for a 32 bed care home. This was refused on the grounds that the scale proposed would be overbearing and detrimental to the occupiers of neighbouring properties in terms of visual intrusion, dominance, overlooking and loss of outlook. It was also considered that the scale of the home proposed would not provide amenity space to meet the needs of residents commensurate with the size of the building. 4.6 The current application proposes the demolition of the existing building and the erection of a 30 bedroom care home, which is shown to be 3 storey at the front then 2 storey at the rear. However these details are illustrative as the application is in outline with all matters reserved for later approval. 4.7 The applicant has provided a design and access statement which states that the current building does not comply with many of the requirements set out by the current Care Home Regulations. The statement also states that attracting new residents has been lost to competition from newer built homes within the surrounding area and subsequently a lack of investment has resulted. 4.1 Planning 25.02.09 Pl anning apps 24
