Councillor N Cockburn spoke on the application as Ward Councillor. The agent, Eddie Ward, spoke on the application. Application The Head of Development Services recommended approval. Page 1 The Head of Development Services outlined the application and detailed the main issues within the report as follows: Acceptability of Noise Management Plan: The fundamental principles of the Noise Management Plan were agreed through the grant of planning permission for the M Sport testing and evaluation centre at Dovenby Hall. Condition 6 attached to this permission requires the updated NMP to be based on these principles. The main issues to be agreed through the approval of this updated NMP are the control levels for LAeq 5 minutes and LAmax. The levels now proposed have been arrived at taking into account advice from specialist acoustic consultants appointed by the Council and detailed consideration of the existing noise climate in the vicinity of the site. The basic principles of the noise monitoring methodology i.e. the use of trackside monitoring, are as previously agreed and are considered acceptable. The precise details of the number and location of the monitors have yet to be agreed and it is considered more appropriate that this level of technical detail be agreed as part of the physical testing process and before the operational use of the track commences. It is considered that the proposed noise management plan puts in place a number of complementary control measures that balance the operational requirements of the test facility whilst safeguarding the amenity of local residents, which was the purpose of imposing the planning condition. Members noted the representations received in respect of the application, the main grounds of which were set out in the report. Councillor C Armstrong moved that the application be approved subject to an amendment to paragraph 6.1 of the Noise Management Plan to ensure that in relation to the controlled noise levels “measurements will be undertaken in the worst case position, whether that is free field or façade” and that approval of the amendment be delegated to the Head of Development Services in consultation with the Head of Housing and Health and that where further technical approval is required in accordance with the approved Noise Management Plan, such approval be delegated to the Head of Development Services, in consultation with the Head of Housing and Health. Councillor B Pegram seconded. A vote was taken; 10 in favour of approval, 2 against. The motion in favour of approval was carried. Decision Approved The meeting closed at 3.55 pm Page 2 At a meeting of the Development Panel held in Council Chamber, Allerdale House on Tuesday 29 November 2016 at 1.00 pm Members P Bales (Chairman) A Davis-Johnston B Miskelly J Farebrother R Munby M Fitzgerald J Osborn M Grainger B Pegram M Jenkinson D Wilson F Johnston Apologies for absence were received from Councillors C M Armstrong and N Cockburn Staff Present B Carlin, H Carruthers, C Chambers, D Devine, K Kerrigan and S Sewell 276 Declaration of Interests None declared. 277 Questions None received. 278 2/2016/0606 - Provide new tourist accommodation - Melbreak Hotel, Winscales Road, Little Clifton, Workington - Provide new tourist accommodation, this will be in the form of a touring caravan park and static camping pod area, with associated parking and sanitary facilities Item deferred. 279 2/2016/0668 - Two holiday cottages - Ellen Hall, Gilcrux, Wigton - Demolition of disused barn and change of use of land to incorporate two holiday lodges (resubmission of 2/2016/0364) Representations The agent, Stuart Woodall, spoke on the application.
