RU.03/0349 Date reg: 27/03/2003 Ward FOXHILLS LOCATION: PROPOSAL: TYPE: APPLICANT: HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, LYNE LANE, CHERTSEY CONSTRUCTION OF ASPHALT PATH ACROSS CHURCHYARD TO SCHOOL GATE FULL PLANNING PERMISSION Parochial Church Council Local Plan: Policies relevant to the consideration of this application are: Second Alteration, April 2001: GB1 1. Site 1.1 Holy Trinity Church is a Grade II Listed Building, located within the Green Belt, along Lyne Lane. The area subject to this application is located in the middle of the site in the northern section. 2. History 2.1 The application site has an extensive planning history, none of which is directly relevant to the determination of this application. 3. Application 3.1 The applicant has applied for the construction of a new footpath, which would go through the graveyard, leading from the Church to the School. The path would be 2.4 metres wide, 12 metres long and be constructed of black tarmac. 4. Consultations 4.1 The application has been advertised on the Council’s Weekly list of planning applications and three letters have been sent out to neighbouring properties. One letter of objection has been received from the neighbour at 137 Fangrove Park, and a summary of their concerns is as follows: • There is an adequate roadside path from the school to the church, which has been used for years. • The churchyard is an area of peace and beauty and should not be crossed with more asphalt. 4.2 County Highways have no requirements to make regarding this application. 5. Planning Considerations 5.1 The main consideration for this application is the effect the development would have on the Green Belt.
5.2 Development within the Green Belt is highly restricted and any such proposal must demonstrate that it would not conflict with the purposes of the Green Belt, i.e. preventing urban sprawl, preserve the setting and special character of towns and adversely affect its open character. 5.3 The proposed development is for an additional path. Following a site visit, it was noted that all the paths outside the church are black tarmac, therefore it is considered that the proposal would be in keeping with the existing building and churchyard. Furthermore, whilst it is recognised that it would result in an increase in asphalt-covered area within the Green Belt, there is an existing grass path, which is currently used by the school, and the proposal would make this all-weather and ensure a safe access from the school to the church. 5.4 Whilst the concerns of the neighbour are noted, it is considered that the proposal by reason of its location and design is in keeping with the existing footpaths within the Churchyard and it would not adversely affect the open character of the Green Belt, or the setting of the Church and Lyne Village. 5.5 In conclusion, the proposal is considered to be in accordance with policies within the Local Plan and is recommended for approval. 5.6 Consideration has been given to the requirements of Article 8 and Article 1 of the First Protocol of the European Convention on Human Rights. It is not considered that the granting of permission would result in a violation of any objectors’ rights under the Convention. Officers’ Recommendation GRANT subject to the following conditions: 1.
