MATTERS ARISING FROM MINUTES PLANNING COMMITTEE MEETING OF 6 NOVEMBER 2018 PREVIOUSLY CIRCULATED:- Copy of the above. RESOLVED, on the proposal of Councillor McIlveen, seconded by Alderman McDowell, that the minutes be noted. 4. PLANNING APPLICATIONS 4.1 LA06/2017/0877/RM – Lands to the south and east of St. Gall’s Church and Crawfordsburn Lane, Bangor– Reserved matters application for residential development complying with conditions reserved within outline approval W/2014/0450/O comprising 54 no. dwellings and 10 apartments and associated car parking and landscaping works (Appendix I) PREVIOUSLY CIRCULATED: Case Officer’s Report. DEA: Bangor West Committee Interest: Application with 6 or more representations contrary to officer’s opinion Proposal: Reserved matters application for residential development complying with conditions reserved within outline approval W/2014/0450/O comprising 54 no. dwellings and 10 apartments and associated car parking and landscaping works Site Location: Lands immediately to the south and east of St. Gall’s Church and Crawfordsburn Road, Bangor Recommendation: Approval The Senior Professional and Technical Officer (A Todd) outlined the detail of the application which was an application seeking approval of reserved matters for a housing development comprising 54 dwellings and 10 apartments on lands to the south and east of St Gall’s Church, Crawfordsburn Road, Bangor. The application had been brought before Planning Committee for consideration as the associated outline planning application granted permission was for major development and had been previously considered by Planning Committee. Site and Surroundings The site was an area of undeveloped land extending to approximately three hectares. It was located between the existing housing at Roseville Park and Roseville Avenue and St Galls Church on the Crawfordsburn Road. The outline planning permission for this development had been granted in September 2016 in the context of the adopted Belfast Metropolitan Area Plan at the time which designated the site for housing. The principle of the residential development was therefore established by reason of the extant planning permission on this site and all that remained to be considered was the Reserved Matters details such as design, landscaping, materials and finishes. Matters relating to the principle of the development or the planning conditions of the outline planning permission could not be re-visited at Reserved Matters stage. 2 PC.04.12.18 Proposal The proposals complied with all of the conditions of the outline planning permission and the key site requirements which were set out in BMAP as part of the housing designation. Those included the retention of existing hedgerows and trees, provision of open space along with additional landscaping, the inclusion of 10 social housing units and a proposed density of no more than 25 dwellings per hectare. The layout of the development also reflected the conceptual layout approved at outline stage which included access off Roseville Avenue. The layout would provide for a quality residential environment which would respect the character of the area. The proposed house types were predominantly detached and semi-detached reflective of the existing low to medium density in the vicinity. The height and massing of the proposed 2 – 2 ½ storey apartment building was also not excessive and would be located in a central position within the site to the rear of St Gall’s church where there would be no views from within the wider area. Representations Seven letters of objections had been submitted. Five of those were from residents, one from MLA Steven Agnew and one from Councillor Rachel Woods. The main planning concerns raised included: - Loss of amenity to existing residents - Traffic impact - Potential flooding and poor drainage - The density of the development - Impact on the character of the area - All of those concerns had been considered in detail in the case officer’s report. The access arrangements and traffic impact of the proposed development were considered in detail and accepted by DFI Roads at outline application stage. The Crawfordsburn Road was a Protected Route. Policy AMP3 of Planning Policy Statement 3, Access, Movement and Parking stated that permission would only be granted for access off a Protected Route within settlements where access could not reasonably be taken from an adjacent minor road. The proposal complied with the policy requirement by gaining access to the site from the Protected Route via an adjacent minor road. A Transport Assessment and surveys had been submitted at outline stage which identified that the existing road infrastructure met the required standards and could accommodate the proposed development. In accordance with the standards set out in the Creating Places Guidelines, the 5.5m width of Roseville Avenue would provide sufficient capacity for around 200 dwellings. Wandsworth Road which linked directly onto the Protected Route, had a width of between 7-7.3m which according to Creating Places, would constitute a local distributor road which would provide sufficient capacity for around 400 dwellings, significantly more than the proposed development combined with all the existing dwellings. The density of the development at 23 dph was below the maximum density of 25dph which was specified in BMAP. It would also not be significantly higher than that found on Roseville Park and Roseville Avenue which was between 19 - 21 dph. 3 PC.04.12.18 Summary In summary, it was considered that the proposal complied with all the conditions of the outline planning permission

  • Voices in Lockdown Draft 140820 (003)
    Our Voices Aren’t in Lockdown Northern Ireland Youth Forum The Northern Ireland Youth Forum (NIYF) is a youth led organisation that lobbies, advocates, promotes and fights for the rights of young people. NIYF was set up in 1979 by the Department of Education to represent the views of young people to government and other decision makers. Our primary aim is to build the confidence and awareness of all young people so that they can assert their rights as listed by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. We celebrated our 40th anniversary last year and were the very first winners of the MTV voices award in 2011. We believe that all young people have ideas and opinions worth listening to and we want to help you get involved in changing things in your school, community, and in society. Why did we undertake this research? On the 23rd March, at the early stages of the Covid19 pandemic, the government enforced an unprecedented series of lockdown measures limiting movement, giving powers to police, and closing most shops and businesses. Just four days later the NIYF launched the first of two surveys to reach out to young people across NI to gather their feelings, views and hopes as they entered lockdown. With a subsequent survey at the end of May focusing on coming out of lockdown a total of 1,065 responses were received. As a representative body for young people and an advocate for ‘speaking truth to power’, NIYF sought to ensure that the voices of young people were not lost during the COVID-19 pandemic and in lockdown.
