No. 9/2012/0743/OM Applicant: Agent: ST MODWEN DEVELOPMENTS LTD MR JASON TAIT C/O PLANNING PROSPECTS PLANNING PROSPECTS LTD 1 BROOMHALL BUSINESS CENTRE BROOMHALL LANE WORCESTER WR5 2NT Proposal: OUTLINE APPLICATION (ALL MATTERS EXCEPT FOR ACCESS TO BE RESERVED) FOR MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT COMPRISING RESIDENTIAL (C3) AND EMPLOYMENT (B1 AND/OR B8), ACCESS, ROAD AND ASSOCIATED INFRASTRUCTURE, PARKING, PUBLIC OPEN SPACE AND LANDSCAPING AT LAND AT SK2818 0665 SWADLINCOTE LANE CASTLE GRESLEY SWADLINCOTE Ward: LINTON/CHURCH GRESLEY Valid Date: 28/08/2012 Reason for committee determination The application is brought before the Committee because this is a major development with more than two objections contrary to the development plan. Site Description This 10.32 hectare site to the south of Cadley Hill Industrial estate is currently open arable fields and pasture. The site overlaps the Local Plan employment allocation of policy E2. The site rises towards Burton Road to the west. Open land would surround the site to the south, south east and north east. Its western and south western boundaries are adjacent to the rear boundaries of 86 – 136 (evens) Burton Road and 3- 13 (odds) Swadlincote Lane. The housing development of Castleton Park is to the south and south east. The site slopes significantly from west to east. In the south western part of the site it slopes gradually from the south west to the existing pond adjacent to the northern boundary with a difference in levels of about 12 metres. The western part of the site adjacent to the A444 Burton Road is highest where the access is proposed and slopes down towards the centre of the site with a change in levels of about 10 metres.

Proposal Outline planning permission is sought for development of the site for mixed development of employment use within use classes business (B1), and storage and distribution (B8) and residential development. Approval of the access is sought at this stage with all other matters reserved. An indicative masterplan has been submitted which identifies the potential level of development. This layout has changed since the original submission which indicated 1.55 Ha (3,720 square metres) of employment land, 5.6 Ha of residential land (214 dwellings) with 2.25 Ha public open space to the rear of the Burton Road and Swadlincote Lane properties. The amended proposal includes 3.75 Ha (9,375 square metres) of employment land and 5.67 Ha of residential land (215 dwellings) with 0.25 Ha public open space and a 0.65 Ha landscaped planting buffer. The residential part would extend to the rear of the properties on Burton Road and Swadlincote Lane with a 10m in width planting buffer. The employment land would be adjacent to the existing Cadley Hill Industrial Estate along the northern boundary with the larger units shown adjacent to the access on Burton Road and in the north eastern part of the site. The access would also afford the opportunity to access the rear portions of plots on the existing industrial estate. The illustrative layout indicates a potential vehicle/pedestrian/cycleway link to the remaining part of the employment allocation as shown in the current Local Plan. The access is proposed off Burton Road (A444), 45 metres north of the access for the Burton Road properties. The proposed access road would separate the two uses and it would curve around the north eastern boundary to provide access to the south eastern section of allocated land which bounds Swadlincote Lane. The POS would be in the middle of the housing area to the south west.
