Case Number 09/02982/FUL Application Type A Full Planning Application Proposal Application under Sec 73 to vary condition 4 (delivery times) imposed by application number 96/5151P to enable deliveries to take place between the hours of 0730 hours and 1800 hours on weekdays and 0800 hours and 1800 hours on weekends and public holidays Location Co-op Supermarket Devonshire Terrace Road Sheffield S17 3EF Date Received 23/09/2009 Team SOUTH Applicant/Agent Nathaniel Lichfield And Partners Recommendation Grant Conditionally Subject to: 4 Deliveries to the retail building shall only take place between 0730 and 1800 hours on Mondays to Fridays and 0800 and 1800 hours on Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays. All deliveries to the store between the hours of 07.30 and 08.00 hours on Mondays to Fridays shall be carried out in accordance with the 'Code of Best Practice for the Management and Operation of the Delivery Process at the Co-op Store, Dore' as submitted in October 2009. 7 In the interests of the amenities of the locality and occupiers of adjoining property. Attention is drawn to the following justifications: 1. The decision to grant planning permission and impose any conditions has been taken having regard to the policies and proposals in the Sheffield Unitary Development Plan and adopted Core Strategy set out below: S10 - Conditions on Development in Shopping Centres and to all relevant material considerations, including Supplementary Planning Guidance. This informative is intended as a summary of the reasons for grant of planning permission. For further detail on the decision please see the application report by contacting the Planning Records section on 2734220 or by visiting Sheffield City Council’s website at www.sheffield.gov.uk/your- city-council/council-meetings/planning-boards 8 Site Location LOCATION AND PROPOSAL The site is an A1 Retail, mini-supermarket use, located on the east side of Devonshire Terrace Road, which is a one-way street with vehicles being allowed to travel northward along Devonshire Terrace Road. It is located within a Local Shopping Centre under the provisions of the Unitary Development Plan, however, there are a number of residential dwellings to the north and west of the site. Those to the north are designated as being in the Local Shopping Centre, whilst those to the west are designated within a Housing Area. The application seeks consent to vary a condition which was imposed upon a previously granted consent (95/5151P), to enable deliveries to the store to be made between the hours of 07.30 and 18.00 on weekdays and 08.00 and 18.00 on weekends and bank holidays. The condition imposed upon 95/5151P allows 9 deliveries between 08.00 and 18.00 on weekdays and 08.00 and 18.00 on weekends and bank holidays. This application is therefore seeking consent to commence deliveries 30 minutes earlier, on weekdays only. RELEVANT PLANNING HISTORY A consent was granted in November 2008 (under reference 08/05087/FUL) also allowing a variation of condition 4 of 95/5151P, to: Deliveries to the retail building shall only take place between 0800 and 1800 hours on Monday to Friday and 0800 and 1800 hours on Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays, except for a period of 12 months from the date of this permission, during which period deliveries between 0700 and 0800 hours will also be permitted on Mondays to Fridays. SUMMARY OF REPRESENTATIONS Following neighbour notification and the placement of a site notice, a total of five representations have been received. The comments can be summarised as follows: Impact upon peace and quiet within Dore village, and on quality of residents’ lives. Impact on Sunday or Bank Holiday lie-ins. Lorries can be heard from bedroom windows. Lorries arrive before the allowable delivery time, and drivers prepare to carry out deliveries. Engines and refrigeration equipment is often left running. Noisy metal wagons are taken over public footpath as the delivery bay is too small. Drivers overlook neighbours getting dressed etc. An earlier time would push these impacts earlier into the day. Query reason for granting previous application for 12 month period. Neighbours have not been involved in any assessment or discussions. Query what has changed since the original delivery hours were imposed to the proposed change. Lorries have a detrimental impact upon the conservation area. Query details and accuracy of noise assessments. The stated reason of providing extra flexibility, ignores neighbours’ observations that all opportunities are exploited to the full by the store. Activity now takes place during 15 of every 24 hours, 7 days a week. 10 Current parking difficulties/congestion. Compatibility within a Conservation Area. In addition a letter has been received from Nick Clegg M.P. on behalf of a neighbouring resident, asking that the residents comments sent independently are taken into account. Applicant’s Submission A Noise Assessment has been submitted with the application, and can be summarised as follows: -Noise assessments were taken during the 7-8am period on two separate days. No deliveries took place during these periods but assessments did continue to cover later deliveries. -On both occasions there were intermittent traffic movements on Devonshire Terrace Road through the 7-8am period, with more frequent traffic on Causeway Head Road. There is also the bus terminus on Devonshire Terrace Road to the south of the store, where buses generally arrive and wait a while (normally with engine off). Four buses passed the measurement point in the 7-8am period on both days. - The area is described as being busy in the 7-8am period with considerable levels of traffic and pedestrians including working people and school pupils catching the bus. Therefore, the noise impact of deliveries in this period would not be as high as they would be if the area were otherwise quiet. The ambient noise levels in the absence of deliveries are reasonably high because of passing cars, vans, buses and other noises such as refuse collection vehicles. -The noise levels are said to be variable in the 7-8am period. During the period high noise levels were recorded in the period immediately after 7am, meaning that extension of the delivery period back to 7am does not move it into a time which is significantly quieter in the absence of deliveries. -7-8am is still within the period normally considered as daytime for noise assessment purposes.

  • Sheffield Patrol Group
    SHEFFIELD PATROL GROUP presents SHEFFIELD Poor wretch! who once hath paced that dolent city Shall pace it often, doomed beyond all pity, With horror ever deepening from the first... A local community leader pauses from discussion with a trainee Robocop to look suspiciously towards the photographer. Abbeyfield Park is in Burngreave, Sheffield and the festival was an attempt at promoting community cohesion in a multicultural area of the city characterised by high levels of unemployment and poverty. It was a pleasant day and a substantial crowd had gathered to smoke dope, drink Special Brew, graze on street food and enjoy a programme of second rate music. Zion Train were the headlining act, but they didn’t manage to make it on stage due to a bomb scare bringing the event to a premature end. The festival was held just a few days after the murderous outrage perpetrated on the citizens of London by a nihilistic death squad protesting global injustice in the name of Islam. Despite the atmosphere of fear and paranoia that reigned throughout England at the time, the evacuation of the festival was calm and orderly. The legacy of kowtowing to paternalistic authority that marks the post- industrial cities of Britain has its virtues. The cancelled event was restaged in September. 2 There seem to be a lot of hairdressing salons in the English-speaking world that refer to the Acropolis in their business names. I don’t know why. Maybe the caryatids of the Porch of the Maidens on the Erechtheion are renowned for their quality hair-dos? Langsett Road in Sheffield seems to have little in common with Athens.
