P Herbert, Senior Planning Officer, provided the Committee with a detailed presentation which included photographs of the site and a plan of the proposed layout. Members of the Committee had visited the site the previous day and were familiar with the location and setting. The Senior Planning Officer referred to paragraph 100 of the report and informed the Committee that the figure for vehicle movements should read 136 movements in each direction per day, and not per week as printed. He added that since the writing of the report, a 68-signature petition of objection had been received from Castle Eden Golf Club, as well as 4 additional letters of objection from local residents. Councillor Crute, local Member, addressed the Committee to object to the application. The local community of Castle Eden was opposed to the proposal, which had not received a single letter of support. A Planning Consultant engaged by residents of Castle Eden’s had identified a number of discrepancies in the report, yet the report of the Consultant had not been published, and many representations which opposed the development had not been published on the Planning Portal. Councillor Crute referred to traffic generation which would arise from the proposal. The application placed an emphasis on average attendances at the proposed crematorium but made no mention of the possible impact on traffic flow on the Trunk Road A19 of larger funerals, of which there had been two recent examples. The proposal would bring with it an increased volume of traffic into Castle Eden which would impact on road safety within the village. There was insufficient car parking on the site of the crematorium to accommodate traffic for a larger funeral, and local businesses had expressed concern that in such an event, people may use their car parks while attending services. The proposed site for the crematorium was an unsuitable location in an area which had been identified as being of high landscape value, with the Campaign to Protect Rural England expressing caution around developing the site. Castle Eden Golf Club fairways ran to the north and east of the site and there was concern that golfers would pass within close proximity of the crematorium chimney which may release toxins. The proximity of the golf course would, inevitably, also result in stray golf balls being hit into the crematorium area, which could cause injury to people and damage to property. To address this risk, trees or netting to the height of 100 to 150 feet would be required, which would impact on visual amenity and also be a risk to birds. Councillor Crute referred to anti-social behaviour which had previously taken place on a lane, part of which was the proposed access road to the crematorium. The anti-social behaviour had necessitated the issuing of an emergency Order to prohibit traffic on the lane and a barrier had been erected to prevent such access. Since the issuing of the Order, the anti-social behaviour had reduced/been Page 2 eliminated. Residents were fearful that if part of this lane was to be used as access to the proposed crematorium, and traffic once again allowed access to it, such anti- social behaviour would re-occur. Councillor Crute informed the Committee that views of Planning Policy had been distorted in the report. Referring to paragraph 69 of the report, he informed the Committee that NPPF did not indicate that Local Plans carried little weight. He added that although a regular bus service had been mentioned in the report, there was in fact only one bus per hour through Castle Eden in each direction. The District of Easington Local Plan identified Castle Eden as a dormitory settlement, and saved Policy 7 within the Plan protected areas of high landscape value from development unless no alternative sites could be identified. Eleven such alternative sites for this application had been identified, and this site had been chosen by the applicant to increase their profit margin. Councillor Pounder, local Member, addressed the Committee to object to the application. The key issues of concern were the impact on local residents and families if the access lane was re-opened and the previous anti-social behaviour re- occurred, concerns regarding injuries from stray golf balls on to the site and concerns about possible toxic emissions from the crematorium chimney. The application could be refused on the grounds of it breaching Policies within the District of Easington Local Plan, traffic generation, ecology, public safety from the nearby golf club and the return of anti-social behaviour on the access lane. Councillor B Turnbull, Castle Eden Parish Council, addressed the Committee to object to the application. The proposed access lane had caused many problems of anti-social behaviour prior to it being closed to traffic. Prior to this taking place, street lighting and CCTV had been suggested to address the anti-social behaviour, but this was rejected as not being a suitable option because of the nature of the behaviour. There were already high traffic flows in the area, and although the road into Castle Eden was subject to a 40 m.p.h. restriction, traffic surveys showed that half the vehicles on the road exceeded this restriction, with 20% exceeding 46 m.p.h.
