Case Officer Name & Number: Jo Orton, 01788 533549 Recommendation Refusal on the grounds of inappropriate development within the Green Belt. Introduction This application is being reported to Planning Committee in accordance with the Scheme of Delegation, as the application constitutes major development as more than 1000 square metres of industrial buildings are being proposed. Application Proposal This application seeks outline planning permission for erection of three commercial units with access being the only matter for consideration under this application with all other matters being reserved for consideration at a later stage. Three Modern Industrial Unit The proposed industrial units would have indicative scale parameters which have been detailed below: Unit A – maximum height of 7 metres; a length of 40 metres and a depth of 12.5 metres; Unit B – maximum height of 7 metres; a length of 32 metres; and a depth of 11 metres; and Unit C – maximum height of 7 metres; a length of 26 metres and a depth of 15 metres. 3 All units would be similar in nature to these previously approved under R18/0533. The units are to be used for B1/B2 use classes utilising the existing access to the site with the illustrative site plan submitted indicating where the proposed unit would be positioned. During the course of the application officers raised concerns due to the urbanisation of the Green Belt. Amended plans have been received relocating the proposal so that it is sited within the area of previously developed land. This application will therefore be considered using these plans. Site and Surrounding Area The application site is located outside of any defined settlement boundary and is located within the West Midlands Green Belt. The site is situated to the South of Parrott’s Grove, with access being taken off Hawksbury Lane which consists of an extended concreate surfaced road, park of the access is located with the administrative boundary of Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council. The application site is bound to the North-East and South-East by existing industrial buildings, parking areas and areas of outside storage. Marisburn House to the North-West of the application site has been granted planning permission, on appeal, for use as a permanent gypsy and traveller site. 4 The site consists of a complex of buildings, the majority of which have various B1 uses granted by Certificates of Lawfulness in 2001 and 2008. Other uses which exist on the site include a residential unit for security purposes granted in 2006.
