Policy ENV7: Quality in the Built Environment - Local Development Documents should require new development to be of high quality which complements the distinctive character and best qualities of the local area and promotes urban renaissance and regeneration. Policy WAT4: Flood Risk Management - States that the priorities are to defend existing properties from flooding and locate new development where there is little or no risk of flooding. PLANNING POLICIES The Norfolk Structure Plan (1999) contains the following policies that are relevant to this application: T.2 - requires that the traffic implications of new development are assessed. The King’s Lynn and West Norfolk Local Plan (1998) contains the following saved policies that are relevant to the proposal: 4/6 - aims to protect areas of important landscape quality from inappropriate development. PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS The application seeks approval of reserved matters following the original grant of outline permission in 2008. The principle of the construction of a hospice and associated facilities on this site is therefore established. The key issues for consideration in relation to this application are: • Appearance; • Landscaping; • Layout; • Scale; • Impact on Local Amenity; and • Other Material Considerations. Issues relating to the principal of development, and access were dealt with at outline stage. Appearance The site is located within defined countryside as depicted within the King's Lynn and West Norfolk Local Plan. The core principle of PPS7 'Sustainable Development in Rural Areas’, is making decisions using the principles of sustainable development. Alongside protection of the environment and maintaining high and stable levels of economic growth and employment is social inclusion, recognising the needs of everyone. PPS1, which encourages all new developments to be of a high standard of design, establishes the design of new development to be an important material consideration in the determination of all planning applications. The building proposed does not seek to replicate any existing buildings within the vicinity, and a design has been put forward for a modern building to house the facility which is quite different and unique to the area. The layout plans show the building having a horseshoe layout around 65m wide and 65m deep. Accommodation would be predominantly single 09/00699/RMM Development Control Board 6 th July 2009
storey along the curve of the horseshoe in a building with a maximum height of around 7.2m although most is shown as being no more than 5m high. The two ends of the horseshoe are joined by a two-storey element, with the first floor set back above the ground floor with a maximum height of 8.4m. The types of materials to be used include carrstone/Sandringham stone on key building features together with local character bricks. Three different roof finishes are proposed including blue/black slate, particularly over the single storey element, terracotta colour pantiles on the two storey roofs and a small amount of copper on key features. Cedar cladding is also used in horizontal boards which are designed to weather to a natural silver colour. It is, however, considered that the success of this particular building depends upon a high quality of construction and material finishes. The specifics of this can be controlled by condition in order to ensure an appropriate palette of materials and location thereof. Landscaping Large areas of landscaping have been shown on the submitted plans. A precise planting scheme including details of species and planting densities has not been submitted. In addition precise details of the hard surfacing and other structures for example seating, and the garden pavilion have not been included, however this could all be controlled by condition. The landscape officer raises concern in relation to an existing oak tree in an adjacent properties and the impact of a French drain. He recommends that an Arboricultural implication assessment, method statement and root protection plan to BS 5837 are provided for the development and that the drainage plan is revised to ensure the protection and retention of boundary trees. It is considered that this can be suitably addressed under the original drainage condition and it is suggested that an informative is added stating notwithstanding the information submitted the drainage scheme shall take into account the Oak tree which the Landscape Officer refers to. When a scheme is submitted under condition 8 of the outline consent the impact upon this tree shall be fully taken into account in order to ensure its retention. Layout The building location is located fairly centrally within the application site. The building is based around a central court-yard feature. Surrounding the building are areas for car parking and landscaped areas. Car-parking is located to the east of the building in close proximity to the front entrance foyer. In terms of internal layout the second floor area is used for administration/office accommodation for staff; no patient accommodation is located in this area. The ground floor area is separated into four distinct zones; in patient area, day care, outpatient and service area. These zones are defined for the most part by glazed areas sections with the exception the transfer from service area to in patient area. Scale The building proposed is largely single storey in nature with a two storey element to the east facing elevation. The design of the building incorporates a shallow pitch in order to keep the level of the ridge height as low as possible. In addition it is noted that the proposal is 09/00699/RMM Development Control Board 6 th July 2009
