3 Item No: 1

Case Officer: Mr K Chilvers

Site: Land at 140 Canford Cliffs Road, Poole, BH13 7ER

Application No: 07/02928/017/F

Date Received: 17th August 2007

Agent: Sibbett Gregory 3 Winchester Place North Street Poole BH15 1NX

Applicant: Blue2 Properties

Development: Demolish house and erect a block of 8 flats with underground garages and secure cycle store.

Ward: F 060 Canford Cliffs

This application is brought before the Planning Committee at the request of Councillor Haines due to residents concerns and the precedent this will set for flats that are accessed from Canford Cliffs Road.

Site Description The site is currently occupied by a large detached three storey dwelling set back from and at an angle to the road within a spacious and maturely landscaped plot. Although on the eastern side of Canford Cliffs Road there is a fairly regular pattern of development the properties on the western side of the road are more varied in size of building and plot and present a more informal character to the area.

There are preserved trees within and around the site boundaries.

Relevant Planning History Demolition of the existing dwelling and erection of a block of 8 flats was refused in October 2006 because the Council was concerned about the impact on the character of the area including the shoreline character, and the harm to protected trees(06/02928/16 refers).

Subsequently this application was dismissed on appeal in March 2007 with the Inspector concluding that the proposals would be incompatible with the character and appearance of the locality.

REPRESENTATIONS

Four letters raising the following concerns:  Impact on street scene and character of area  Impact during construction  Insufficient size and depth resulting in cramped form of development  Building would be overbearing to street and neighbouring properties  Additional traffic and inadequate parking provision

4  Precedent for similar flat development in the area.  Contrary to Local Plan policies BE1, BE2 and H13  Impact on sewer or surface water drainage

The Head of Transportation Services No objection to amended plans subject to condition to secure parking and turning provision and subject to a contribution towards schemes that promote non car modes of transport.

Relevant Planning Policy The following policies of the Poole Local Plan First Alteration Adopted 2004 (as amended by Secretary of State Direction September 2007) are of particular relevance: BE1 – Design Code BE2 - Landscaping H4 – Housing development H13 - Purpose Built Flats NE23 - Coastal Zone and Shoreline Character T13 – Traffic Generated by Development T14 - Access To The Highway Network NE28 – Tree Preservation orders

Planning Considerations

Given the appeal history it is necessary to consider whether the current proposal satisfactorily addresses the concerns expressed by the Inspector. The Inspector concluded that:

 the proposal would not be harmful to the shoreline character but the proposal “pays little regard to properties characterising this part of Canford Cliffs Road” ;  the proposal would result in a significant spread of building at three storey height across the site, producing a building of substantially greater perceived mass;  the strongly rectilinear building and its flat-roofed form would be markedly out of accord with the established development which characterises the Road in this vicinity;  although trees and shrubbery would partially screen the building from the road, sufficient of the building would be perceived by which its uncharacteristic appearance and mass would be harmful to the visual qualities of the locality  the proposal would not have an effect on trees to an extent that would materially diminish their amenity value and contribution to the sylvan character of the locality

Character of area/streetscene

The current proposal is considered no more harmful to or visually prominent from the coastal zone than the previous scheme.

The building has been reduced in height and projection at its northern end compared to the previous scheme.

5 The scheme has been redesigned in an arts and crafts style with sweeping roofs, bay windows, gables and hipped roofs to reflect the existing character of the area and given its set back from the road, the proposed building would be acceptable in terms of size, siting and design such that it would have no significant adverse effects on the spatial character or appearance of the street scene.

Neighbouring Privacy and Amenity

The proposed building would not cause any material harm to the light, outlook or privacy currently enjoyed by the occupiers of any adjacent home, due to the orientation of the proposed block of flats, the size of the plots and the presence of mature trees and other substantial landscaping.

There are concerns regarding the practicalities of constructing the scheme. A Construction Method Statement is required to demonstrate how the method of working on site addresses the need to protect the trees. This statement is awaited but subject to conditions securing compliance with the construction and arboricultural method statements, landscaping scheme and replants, the proposal would not have a significant detrimental impact on trees.

Highways/Parking

Access arrangements are satisfactory and there is no net/material shortfall in car parking as a result of this proposal hence no conflict with the Council’s Parking Guidelines.

Human Rights Act

In coming to this recommendation/decision consideration has been given to the rights set out in Article 8 (Right to Privacy) and Article 1 of the First Protocol (Right to Peaceful Enjoyment of Possessions) of the European Convention on Human Rights.

RECOMMENDATION GRANT – Subject to a Section 106 Agreement for:

Ward: E 050 Penn Hill

This application is brought before the Planning Committee at the request of Councillor Dion because of residents’ concerns.

Site Description  South side of Penn Hill Avenue (0.163 hectares)  Levels rise by 2m. from front of site to rear.  TPO. There are several large trees at the rear of the site and 2 protected pine trees on the frontage close to the boundary within no. 102.  The site is occupied by a large two-storey house with accommodation in the roofspace

This would also provide 2 additional on-street parking spaces.

REPRESENTATIONS

7 letters of representation have been received raising the following concerns:

 The size of the building is out of keeping with the area.  Loss of privacy at 102 Penn Hill Avenue and to homes in Caledon Road.  Increase in traffic and on street parking.

11  Loss of character from flatted development.  Disturbance during development.  Harm to trees

Head of Transportation Services: No objections (contributions required)

Wessex Water – No objections.

Relevant Planning Policy

The following policies of the Poole Local Plan First Alteration (Adopted 2004) are particularly relevant (see also ‘Informative Note 1’):

16 Item No: 3

Case Officer: Mr D Staniland

Site: 7 Parkside Road Poole BH14 8PE

Date Received: 16th October 2007

Agent: Anders Roberts & Associates Chapel Studios 14 Purewell Christchurch Dorset BH23 1EP

Applicant: Braeside

Development: Demolish existing and erect a block of 7 flats with basement garage accessed from Parkside Road. Amended by drawings received 6/11/07.

Ward: E 050 Penn Hill

This application is brought to Planning Committee at the request of Cllr. Parker due to continuing residents concerns.

Site Description

 The application site (0.084 hectares) is occupied by a detached two-storey property with accommodation in the roof last occupied as two flats.  Levels fall from north to south across the site and the adjacent railway is in a deep cutting.  The area characterised by large detached houses and bungalows on comparatively small plots.  No.5 Parkside Road has several large windows in its south facing flank wall that overlook the application site. No7a is a detached dormer bungalow with a first floor bedroom window facing the application site.

Relevant Planning History

September 2006 – Demolish existing building and erect 4-storey block of 10 flats with parking for 10 cars. Refused (excessive bulk; scale of building; poor design; with lack of amenity space).

December 2006 – Demolish existing building and erect a 3-storey block of 9 flats. Refused (excessive bulk; scale of building; poor design; with lack of amenity space; overbearing impact on No.7a Parkside Road). Subsequent appeal dismissed on the grounds that the proposals would have an overbearing impact on No.7a, exacerbated by the presence of facing windows. Also the lack of frontage space. The Inspector nevertheless concluded that:  The size of the building would not have an adverse impact on the character of the area

17  Neither the proposed density of 106 dwellings per hectare nor the restricted amount of space about the building justified dismissing the appeal  There would be no material danger to pedestrians or other road users

Current Proposal

Erection of a single block of 7 flats on three floors with the top floor contained within the roofspace; underground parking for 9 cars and 8 cycles; forecourt bin store.

Representations

One letter of representation has been received raising the following issues:

 Overdevelopment /out of character  Inadequate car parking provision on a street used as a rat run, particular at school times

Wessex Water - No objection.

Head of Transport Services - Comments will be reported

Natural England – No objection subject to mitigation being secured in accordance with the Dorset Heathlands Interim Strategy

The following Policies of the Poole Local Plan First Alteration Adopted March 2004 (as amended by Secretary of State Direction September 2007) are particularly relevant to this application (see also Informative note 1 - IN 620).

H13 – Purpose Built Flats, Bedsits, Hostels and Sheltered Housing BE1 – Design Code

Scale and Bulk:  Proposals further reduced to 7 flats (83 dwellings/hectare).  Reduced eaves heights, similar ridge height to existing building and reduced accommodation within the roofspace have markedly reduced bulk relative to previous proposal.  Increase in bulk compared with existing building will not materially harm the character and appearance of the street.

Amenity:  The proposed building would be closer to adjacent houses but the internal layout would ensure that there would be no prejudicial overlooking and no overbearing impact on those homes.  Improvements have been made to the amount of frontage amenity space. This has improved the setting of the buildings within the streetscene.

18 Trees:  Protected trees beyond the boundary of the site would be adequately protected.

Parking:  9 parking spaces (1.3 per flat) are adequate in this location  A contribution of £5,000.00p (plus admin fee) is required to provide facilities that promote modes of transport other than the car.

Open Space: A contribution of £7,280.00p (plus admin fee) is required towards open space and recreational facilities

Case Officer: Miss C Standley

Site: Wyvern Cargo Site Cranbrook Road, Poole, Dorset, BH12

Date Received: 31st August 2007

Agent: Anders Roberts & Associates Chapel Studios 14 Purewell Christchurch Dorset BH23 1EP

Applicant: Theseus Investments Ltd

Development: Demolish existing and erect 1 block of 2 x 1-bed flats and 1 block of 6 x 1-bed flats with associated parking.

Ward: J 100 Newtown

This application is brought to planning committee at the request of Councillor Plummer due to concerns of local residents, out of character with area and setting a precedent.

Site Description

The site is 0.11 of a hectare in size.

The site is currently vacant and was previously occupied by Wyvern Cargo in the form of a large, pitched roof depot/warehouse building covering the majority of the site, which abutted the rear gardens of the neighbouring residential properties in Cynthia Road and Upper Road. Part of the original site has previously been developed under application ref: 02/08647/026/F. This current application deals with the remainder of the site.

The streetscene is characterised predominantly by two storey and single storey residential development.

Current Proposal

The proposal is to erect 8 flats as affordable housing.

The site has already been developed in part and as a consequence this proposal together with that previously developed results in the level of housing exceeding the Affordable Housing threshold.

08647/26 - Erect 4 x 3-bedroom detached houses and two blocks of 4 x 3-bedroom houses (total 12) together with garages, parking and new accesses from Upper Road, Cynthia Road and Cranbrook Road. – Granted 13/12/02

23 REPRESENTATIONS

13 letters of objection have been received concerning the following points:

 Too high  Overlooking and overbearing  Out of keeping/character  Lack of parking in area and impact on road safety  Particular concerns regarding height of block b  Not suitable for older people

The Head of Transportation Services – No Objection

Environment and Consumer Protection Services

The site has been subject to a former industrial/potentially contaminated land use; a contaminated land condition should therefore be attached.

The following polices of the Poole Local Plan First Alteration Adopted 2004 (as amended by Secretary of State Direction September 2007) are of particular relevance:

BE1 – Design Code H13 – Purpose Built Flats, Bedsits, Hostels and Sheltered Housing H5 – Affordable Housing T13 – Traffic Generated By Development E19 – Contaminated sites

The site has previously been occupied by an employment use however the redevelopment of the site in the form of residential development is acceptable given the previous redevelopment of part of the site and the prevailing character of the area.

Streetscene

The proposed Block A would respect the building line, massing, and design of other dwellings fronting this side of Cranbrook Road.

Block B, which would be three storeys in height, would whilst different to other residential development within the surrounding area be set a significant distance to the rear of surrounding dwellings and as such its impact on the streetscene would be acceptable. It is noted that it would replace a commercial building which was at odds with the residential character of the area.

24 The overall development of the site would make more efficient use of urban land, result in a more suitable form of development to that previously occupying the site and not prejudice the future development of land.

Block A would not result in any harm to neighbouring privacy or amenities.

Block B would be a significant distance from neighbouring buildings so as not to cause harm to their privacy and amenities.

Amenity space provision within the site is acceptable.

Highways/Parking

10 parking spaces are provided which is acceptable.

Vehicular visibility is adequate. Adequate pedestrian visibility splays can be achieved through a condition.

Site Description

The site is 0.06 of a hectare in size.

The site is currently occupied by a pair of semi-detached, two storey houses.

The streetscene is characterised predominantly by two storey residential dwellings, interspersed with commercial units and recently built three-storey flat development.

07/39331/000/P - Outline application to erect 2/3 storey block of 10 flats with integral parking, cycle and bin stores. – Refused 30/03/07 due to its impact upon the character of the streetscene, neighbourliness to no 143 and lack of parking facilities

1168/11 - Demolish existing and erect a block of 14 flats, a cycle & bin store with associated parking to be accessed from Ringwood Road. – Granted 05/02/07

Current Proposal

The application differs to that previously refused by, reducing the massing including the depth of the building and setting part of the front elevation further into the site,

30 introducing a landscaped buffer to the boundary between the site and 143 Ringwood Road and increased amenity space to the rear.

REPRESENTATIONS

1 letter of representation has been received concerning the following points:

 The bin store is adjacent the boundary with 143 Ringwood Road  The front elevation has a lot of glass which is out of keeping  Who will maintain the landscaped areas

Case Officer: Mr J Gilfillan

Site: 105 North Road Poole BH14 0LU

Date Received: 20th September 2007

Agent: Planning Solutions Manor Hatch 63 Southampton Road Ringwood Hants BH24 1HE

Applicant: Mr A Ford

Development: Demolish existing & erect block of 8 flats with underground parking, bin & cycle stores (additional information received 17th October 2007)

Ward: D 040 Parkstone

This application is brought before the Planning Committee at the request of Cllr Woodcock because of the concerns of residents.

Site Description

 The existing house is sited close to the southern boundary of the plot, which is 0.097 hectares.  The southern boundary is shared with several properties on Danecourt Road.  There is a single storey extension at the rear of the existing house projecting along the southern boundary.  No. 103 North Road is covered by a TPO that includes several trees close to the plot boundary.

Pre 2006: Several applications for erection of additional dwellings in the rear garden, incorporating adjoining land, and retaining the existing house. All applications have been refused and dismissed at appeal.

Jan 2006: Demolition of the existing dwelling and the erection of a block of 9 flats with associated parking refused.

July 2006: Revised scheme for 8 flats with associated parking refused. An appeal against this decision was dismissed. The Inspector finding that:

“The proposal would not harm the character or appearance of the area and would allow for safe access to the site. These matters do not however overcome or outweigh the harm I have identified to the living conditions of residents of 41 and 41a Danecourt Road and 107 North Road.”

37 June 2007: Revised scheme for 8 flats with associated parking refused: The reasons for refusal were that:  Inadequate parking provision would lead to site cramming and vehicles reversing onto the adjoining classified road, which is a Distributor Road and a Key Public Transport Route, to the detriment of highway safety.  The car parking and manoeuvring areas would give rise to noise disturbance to adjacent residents  Failure to provide contributions towards recreational facilities, Heathlands mitigation and modes of transport other than the private car.

Current Proposal

Demolish existing house and erect a block of 8 flats (82 dwellings/hectare). Provide underground parking to the rear for 10 cars and forecourt parking for two cars with access from North Road.

REPRESENTATIONS

The Head of Transportation Services - no objection.

Wessex Water - no objection.

Letters of objection have been received from 11 households:  Increased traffic  Vehicle movements in the rear garden  The size and bulk of the building would be out of character and intrusive in the streetscene.

The following Policies of the Poole Local Plan First Alteration Adopted March 2004 (as amended by Secretary of State Direction September 2007) are particularly relevant to this application (see also Informative note 1 - IN 620).

H13 - Purpose Built Flats, Bedsits, Hostels and Sheltered Housing T13 - Traffic Generated by Development

 The revised scheme provides sufficient on site parking to meet the needs of the development (1.5 spaces/flat) and to overcome the previous reason for refusal.  The parking and manoeuvring space would be mostly underground which would substantially reduce its impact on the amenities of neighbouring residents.  Revisions to the scheme do not materially alter the appearance of the building or its impact on adjacent homes.  The applicant has indicated he is prepared to enter into a Legal Agreement to provide the required contributions.

38 RECOMMENDATION GRANT – Subject to a Legal Agreement for:

Case Officer: Ms C M Dick

Site: 12 St Clair Road Poole BH13 7JP

Date Received: 10th October 2007

Agent: Pegasus Planning Group 2-10 Kings Parade Mews Clifton Bristol BS8 2RE

Applicant: Ravine Lifestyle

Development: Erection of 2no. x 4-bed dwellings with associated parking and creation of new vehicular access. (Revised Scheme)

Ward: F 060 Canford Cliffs

This application is brought before committee due to the history of the site.

Site Description

 The site was previously occupied by a large detached building which had been converted to two flats.  The application site is located in a residential area comprising of predominantly larger detached dwellings of a variety of housing styles, although 2 storey dwellings prevail.  Two houses are currently under construction.

 An application (planning reference 07/18815/004/F) to demolish existing dwelling and erection of two, four bed dwellings with associated parking and creation of new vehicular accesses (revised application) was refused and is now currently subject of an appeal by way of a Public Inquiry. The reason for refusal related to the proposed dwellings by reason of their perceived height, scale, mass and design which will appear as 3 storeys will be materailly harmful to the character and appearance of the streetscene which is typified by 2 storey dwellings.

 An application (planning reference 06/18815/003/F) to demolish existing and erect 2 detached 2 storey dwellings with accommodation in the roof, integral double garage, balconies front and rear (as amended by plans received 28.11.06) was approved in January 2007.

 An application (planning reference 06/18815/002/F) for the demolition of the existing and erection of a block of 6 flats with basement parking was refused in January 2007. The main reason for refusal related to the scale and mass being out of character with the area and the proposed building would result in

43 overlooking and loss of privacy to occupants of neighbouring properties and also mutual overlooking to the future occupants of the flats. The proposal was considered to be contrary to policies BE1, H4 and H13 of the Poole Local Plan.

Current Proposal  To retain the height of the dwellings as built but to reduce the apparent mass of the roof by hipping the main part of the roof on the front elevation and adding a small dormer within the hipped roofs of the dwellings.

REPRESENTATIONS

 To date no letters of representations have been received.

Policies BE1 and H4 of the Poole Local Plan First Alteration adopted 2004 (as amended by Secretary of State Direction 27th September 2007) are of particular relevance. Other policies see informative note 1.

Character and appearance of the streetcene

 The proposed ridge height of the dwellings has increased by 0.5m from the approved plans with a hipped roof and a dormer window. This will reduce the apparent mass of the roof as the roof will slope away from the front elevation and will be read as two storey dwellings.  The proposed alterations to the ridge height and roof form will not be materially harmful to the character or appearance of the streetsceene.

Applicant: Badbury Developments Ltd

Development: Demolish part of garage, sever land & erect a detached dwelling house with integral garage.

Ward: P 160 Merley & Bearwood

This application is brought before the Planning Committee at the request of Councillor Long due to residents concern about the impact on neighbours and the character of the area.

Site Description

Two storey detached house with an attached single storey flat roofed double garage. The property is located on the north side of a residential cul de sac and it backs onto a distributor road. The preserved trees in the rear garden are part of the line of trees and vegetation running parallel with the distributor road.

Relevant Planning History None.

REPRESENTATIONS

Neighbours - Eight letters raising the following concerns:

 Proposed house is smaller and different design to others in road  Size of plot and position of house relative to road  Overdevelopment and Impact on open plan character of estate  Additional traffic and inadequate parking provision may result in access/servicing difficulties in road and add to congestion on road network  Impact on privacy, daylight and outlook of adjacent properties and future occupiers of no.187  Impact of fencing  Precedent for similar plot subdivision elsewhere on estate

The Head of Transportation Services The existing and proposed dwellings will have single garages and a driveway space.

49 The new driveway will assist in maintaining the turning head in Sopwith Crescent because access to the dwelling will be required. No objection subject to condition to secure parking and fence on boundary with no.185 should be 0.6m for first 2m for visibility.

Planning Policy

The following policies of the Poole Local Plan First Alteration Adopted 2004 (as amended by Secretary of State Direction September 2007) are of particular relevance: BE1 – Design Code BE2 - Landscaping H4 – Housing development T13 – Traffic Generated by Development NE28 – Tree Preservation orders

Streetscene

Given its location at the end of a cul de sac, and the variety of house type and/or layout in this area the proposed dwelling would be acceptable in terms of size, siting and design such that it would have no adverse effects on the spatial character or appearance of the street scene.

The new dwelling would be sufficiently far from neighbouring properties to have no significant adverse effects on the amenities of their occupiers either by impairment of immediate outlook or reduction in natural light.

The windows in the side elevations serve non habitable rooms and can be conditioned to be obscure glazed to prevent any harmful overlooking to the neighbouring properties.

Trees/Landscaping

The plans indicate a line for the erection of tree protective fencing and subject to suitable tree protection measures during construction and hard/soft landscaping details this proposal is acceptable.

Highways/Parking

Access arrangements are satisfactory and there is no net/material shortfall in car parking as a result of this proposal hence no conflict with the Council’s Parking Guidelines but a condition is proposed to ensure the new garage remains available for parking and the boundary fence is limited in height.

Human Rights Act In coming to this recommendation/decision consideration has been given to the rights set out in Article 8 (Right to Privacy) and Article 1 of the First Protocol (Right to Peaceful Enjoyment of Possessions) of the European Convention on Human Rights.

Case Officer: Mr M Holmes

Site: 19 Blandford Road, Poole, Dorset, BH15 4AS

Date Received: 20th March 2007

Agent:

Applicant: Scammell Securities Plc

Development: Partial demolition of existing building, erect 5 blocks comprising 93 flats and convert part of existing building to 4 flats, associated parking & access. (Revised Scheme). As amended by plans received 06.07.07 and 31.08.07.

Ward: B 020 Hamworthy East

This application is bought before the Planning Committee due to the scale of the proposed development.

Site Description

 The site is located on the southern side of Blandford Road  The 0.7 Hectares site was last used as a steel yard and contains a large warehouse building, open storage and an ancillary office building on the Blandford Road frontage.  The main access to the site is from Station Road off the roundabout at the southern end of Bridge Approach. A terrace of houses face Station Road but are separated from the road and the application site by a 1.8m. high wall.  On its western side the site abuts the ‘Harbour Reach’ development, now nearing completion, which includes four and five-storey blocks of flats closest to the application site boundary.  The site abuts the terrace of Fishermans Cottages. These and the building occupied as ancillary offices are Grade II listed buildings. The nearby Ferryman Public House and the Potters Arms are both locally listed.

January 2007- Full and listed building applications to demolish the existing buildings on the site and construct five blocks of flats along with the conversion of the listed building to incorporate a total of 112 flats with associated parking. Withdrawn

Current Proposal  Demolition of the existing steel yard buildings and construction of 5 blocks incorporating 93 flats [29 one-bed (30%); 68 two-bed (70%)] (126 dwellings per hectare)

55  39 of the flats would be affordable [15 one-bed (38%); 24 two-bed (62%)].  The proposed buildings would be between 2 and 5 stories in height, some incorporating undercroft parking.  The listed building on the Blandford Road frontage would be retained and converted to form 4 flats with offices retained at ground floor level.

REPRESENTATIONS

Councillor Gregory objects to the proposals on the basis that the application does not make provision for on site recreational space. In particular it is suggested that a MUGA (Multi Use Games Area) should be provided on the site.

Hamside Residents’ Association - object to the lack of open space in the locality without the proposed pedestrian link over the railway to Hamworthy park and are concerns about drainage implications.

One letter of objections to the proposals and two letters of support have been received from local residents. The objection expresses concern about the siting of one of the blocks of flats relative to the houses on Station Road. The two letters of support state that the development will improve the residential amenities of their properties and improve the visual amenities of the area.

Dorset County Council - no objection subject to a condition securing archaeological investigation prior to construction.

Poole Harbour Commissioners - object on the grounds that residential development would be incompatible with the Port use to the south of the site and because the proposals would lead to increased traffic to the detriment of the accessibility of the Port.

Dorset Police - no objection.

English Heritage - no objection.

Network Rail - no objection.

Wessex Water - no objection.

Natural England - no objection subject to the applicant meeting the requirements of the Dorset Heathlands Interim Planning Framework 2006-2009.

The Environment Agency - no objection subject to conditions intended to minimise flood risk and maximise water use efficiency in the development.

Head of Transportation Services - no objection subject to conditions and the applicant making capital contributions towards the promotion of modes of transport other than the private car, the diversion of an existing bus route to increase public transport accessibility in the Lower Hamworthy area, and a new pedestrian link to Hamworthy Park from Shapwick Road.

56 Head of Leisure Services - no objection subject to the recreational open space contributions required by Policy L17 of the Local Plan being secured expressly as a contribution towards the proposed footway/cycleway over the railway to Hamworthy Park. This would provide residents with convenient access to existing recreational open space.

The following policies of the Poole Local Plan First Alteration (Adopted 2004) are particularly relevant (see also ‘Informative Note 1’):

CA9- Former Pilkington Tile Site and Adjoining Land NE1- Pollution and Noise NE23- Coastal Zone and Shoreline Character T2- Cycling Provision in New Development T3- Provision for Pedestrians in New Development T13- Traffic Generated by Development H5- Affordable Housing H9- High Density Housing H13- Purpose Built Flats CF6- Planning Obligations – Community Facilities NE23 – Coastal Zone and Shoreline Character

Housing Allocations

 Policy H1 of the Poole Local Plan identifies the application site as a major brownfield site and sets a combined redevelopment target of not less than 250 dwellings for application site and the adjacent former Pilkington Tile site. The latter is currently being developed as ‘Harbour Reach’ with 340 dwellings.

 The site is located in an accessible location adjacent to a bus route and the Town Centre can be accessed by bicycle or on foot. Given these factors the site is considered suitable for high-density development and the proposed density of 126 dwellings per hectare would be in accordance with policy H9 of the Poole Local Plan.

 Policy CA9 of the Local Plan identifies the site as suitable for residential development providing the development takes account of the noise generating activities on adjacent land and has regard to any archaeology. Access should be off Blandford Road. Conditions can be imposed to ensure adequate noise attenuation in the proposed buildings and further archaeological investigation of the site. The proposals include access off Blandford Road/Norton Way for both pedestrians and cyclists and allow for possible future access off Blandford Road/Station Road should it be required. The proposals are therefore compliant with policy CA9 of the Poole Local Plan.

57 Affordable Housing

 40% of the proposed flats (39) would be affordable. Financial data submitted by the applicant in support of the application demonstrates that this level of affordable housing provision is financially viable and a registered social landlord has been identified who has confirmed a willingness to purchase the affordable units.

Streetscene

 The redevelopment of the former Pilkington Tile factory site has increased the residential element in what remains an area comprising a mix of port related, commercial and residential land uses.

 A road would run through the site from Norton Way through to Station Road but would not provide vehicular access from Station Road for highway safety reasons. It would provide a pedestrian and cycle route into Shapwick Road and beyond to the proposed footway/cycleway over the railway line into Hamworthy Park. This is a marked improvement in the permeability of the area.

 The concrete wall that divides the existing terraced houses from Station would be demolished to create a continuous street scene from the Station Road pedestrian access to the site through to the Norton Way site access.

 The buildings would be finished in a mix of face brick and render with timber feature. The use of bricks of a similar colour to those of the houses on Station Road would integrate the proposed development with the existing and provide a visual link between the buildings on Station Road and Norton Way.

 The site is close to Poole Harbour within the shoreline character area. When viewed from the harbour the site is seen behind the port infrastructure. Given the existing buildings on the site the proposals would not harm the shoreline character of this part of the Hamworthy peninsula.

 The design of the buildings is appropriate to their setting.

Impact on listed buildings

 The listed 3-storey office building was originally a mid 19th century house and incorporates a large later single storey rear extension. The building retains a number of original features including a central staircase and original joinery such as doorframes and skirting boards.

 The large single storey rear extension would be demolished, the first and second floors converted to form four flats, with a new entrance at the rear of the building to allow safe entry and exit in the event of a flood.

 A ground floor office is retained because the ground floor levels are such that it will remain susceptible to flooding and is unsuitable for residential use. The conversion of the first and second floors of the building would retain those

58 original features that create its historic character. These modifications would not detract from its historic character or appearance.

 The proposals preserve the setting of the listed buildings within the application site and also the listed terrace of Fishermans Wharf.

 The gap between the two listed buildings that provides access to a car park would be filled with a detached building comprising nine flats This is of more traditional design finished entirely in brick and having sash windows. The building would be constructed on a raised plinth to take account of flooding issues and to lessen the visual impact of the higher cill level relative to those in the adjacent listed buildings. A brick wall and metal railings along the Blandford Road frontage would also help mask this change in levels.

 There are homes adjacent to the proposed development in the existing houses on Station Road, in Fishermans Cottages to the north of the site and in the two new flat blocks off Norton Road to the west.

 The blocks on Norton Way have their main aspect facing west away from the application site. Only small secondary windows face the application site. The proposed development would not detract from the daylight, outlook or privacy of those homes.

 Fishermans Cottages are situated towards the northern boundary of the site. The closest proposed building (plots 45-46) reduces from four stories at its southern end to two stories closest to Fishermans Cottages. It would not therefore materially harm the daylight or outlook of existing homes. The separation of 17 metres is sufficient to ensure mutual privacy.

 Adequately separation will ensure that there would not be any material loss of light or privacy to homes in Station Road. The removal of the concrete wall would be a significant improvement to the amenities of residents.

Landscaping

 At present the site contains no landscaping. The application makes provision of soft landscaping around the buildings and car parking areas and along the central corridor running through the site. It allow for a small number of trees to be planted with sufficient space to mature which would further improve the street scene within the development. The central open space area would serve to create an appropriate sense of place within the scheme.

Provision for Public Art

 Policy BE9 of the Poole Local Plan requires development proposals at gateway locations and other prominent sites to make provision for public art. A contribution of £50,000 has been agreed towards a public art installation in the central space of the development.

59 Transport

 The transport assessment submitted with the application concludes that the development will result in an additional 69 vehicular movements on Blandford Road during each of the peak hours of 08:00 to 09:00 and 17:00 to 18:00.

 The application makes provision for 110 car parking spaces to serve the proposed development (1.13 spaces per flat). The Councils adopted parking standards for this area seek a minimum provision in this location of 1.2 spaces per dwelling and the proposals therefore propose 6 spaces less than the guidelines. No separate provision is made for the office space.

 The site is nevertheless in a highly accessible location adjacent to a bus route and is within walking and cycling distance of the town centre and any approval should be subject to the submission of a residential travel plan This would set out a package of measures intended to minimise residents reliance on the private car.

 A contribution of £143,000 should be secured towards promoting the use of transport modes other than the private car. It is intended by the Head of Transportation Services that this contribution be ring fenced for use towards securing the proposed pedestrian and cycle crossing to Hamworthy Park. The completion of this link would make the park more accessible to residents of the development, within around 400m. The completion of this pedestrian and cycle link from Bridge Approach to Hamworthy Park would be a significant improvement for pedestrians and cyclists within the Hamworthy area, avoiding Blandford Road.

 Notwithstanding the small shortfall of car parking associated with the development, there are significant benefits to cyclists and pedestrians associated with the proposals. Furthermore whilst the proposals will result in additional traffic movements on Blandford Road the total number of these movements will not increase traffic on the road to a level that would be of detriment to highway safety.

Flood Risk

 The site is located within a flood risk zone and habitable accommodation proposed is required to be set at a level above 3.46m. AOD. The scheme has been designed to accommodate this with some buildings having car parking at ground floor level. The central space of the development will also be at 3.46m. AOD to create a means of escape in the event of an extreme flooding event.

Education

 A capital contribution of £58,943 towards meeting the educational needs generated by the development should be secured by a ‘Section 106’ Agreement.

60 Archaeology

 An archaeological evaluation has found evidence of Iron Age and Roman activity across the wider Hamworthy peninsula. The report concludes that it may be possible that further evidence of a Roman ‘fort’ or supply base may exist under the buildings, since these areas were not evaluated for the report. Further archaeological investigation of the site prior to development should therefore be secured by condition.

Impact on protected species

 A wildlife survey of the site found no indication of either bats of slowworms on the site.

 A contribution of £92,053 towards mitigating the impact of the development on the Dorset Heathlands should be secured.

Provision for Recreational Facilities

 The application does not make express provision for on site recreational space. It has been suggested that a MUGA (Multi Use Games Area) should be provided on the site. Any MUGA would need to be an appropriate size, a minimum of 18.5m. x 37m. plus space around its perimeter to protect the amenities of residents of adjacent buildings. Dorset Police have advised that in their opinion there is insufficient space available on site to provide an appropriately sized MUGA with buffer area. The National Playing Fields Association recommends that play areas should be located within 400 metres of residential development. An equipped play area will be provided within the ‘Harbours Reach’ scheme. The proposed link over the railway line, for which contributions will be made by the development, will also bring Hamworthy Park within 400 m. walking/cycling distance of the application site. There are also sports pitches available for public use at and adjacent to Carter Community College, which is some 650 metres from the application site.

 A contribution of £141,232 towards off-site recreational open space should be secured by Section 106. agreement.
