Planning Committee – 25 th February 2009 4.1<br />
Landscaping<br />
4.24 The scheme has been assessed by the <strong>Council</strong>’s Landscape Team and there is<br />
one medium sized Sycamore tree at the front of this property which appears to be in<br />
good health. There is a decay pocket on the bole however this is not extensive. The<br />
scheme should not affect this tree. It has been advised that should permission be<br />
granted that additional landscaping be provided at the front, between car parking<br />
bays and Station Lane.<br />
Highway Implications<br />
4.25 The applicant has shown 9 spaces which based on the information provided<br />
would exceed the parking requirement for this development (7 spaces). The access<br />
onto Station Lane of 4.1 metres is acceptable as it will allow vehicles to pass each<br />
other. The carriage crossing must be either an industrial crossing construction or<br />
standard road construction and the works to be carried out by credited RASWA<br />
contractor<br />
4.26 The Head of Traffic and Transportation have raised no objection to the scheme,<br />
however it has been advised that bay 4 shown on the amended plans should be<br />
closer to the entrance of the building, this could be controlled by condition.<br />
Other Issues<br />
4.27 The <strong>Council</strong>’s Engineering Consultancy Team have advised that a section 80<br />
notice is required for the demolition of this building and should the application be<br />
approved a condition requiring clarification of any potential contaminants would be<br />
required. This would be a standard condition.<br />
4.28 Cleveland Police have provided general comments regarding crime prevention<br />
including that windows/doors should comply with the relevant British Standards,<br />
external lighting and defined boundaries. Should the application be approved a<br />
condition would be required to incorporate these measures.<br />
Conclusion<br />
4.29 The proposed development is considered to be unacceptable particularly by<br />
virtue of the adverse affect on the living conditions of some nearby residents.<br />
However as comments are awaited from the <strong>Council</strong>’s Adult & Community Services<br />
Team a final recommendation will be provided before the meeting.<br />
