John McLaren, Lynne Anderson, Stephen Goldsack, Recommendation: Refuse Reasoned Justification: The proposed development is considered unacceptable as it would result in the removal of an area of amenity open space considered to be a valuable visual and landscape amenity feature and noise buffer to the detriment of adjacent housing to the south. The proposal whilst within Local Plan Policy area HCF 1A (Protecting Residential Amenity) is not designated as a housing site within the current North Lanarkshire Local Plan and the proposal is considered to have an unacceptable adverse impact on established residential amenity of the area contrary to Local Plan policy. The proposed dwellings require to have windows closed to meet modern noise standards and there is no need overriding need for housing in this area such that standards should be relaxed in this case Note to Committee: Should the committee be minded grant planning permission, no permission should be issued until a Legal Agreement in terms of Section 75 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 has been finalised, agreeing appropriate provisions for mitigation against impacts upon local education provision, as a result of the development Reproduced by permission of Planning Application: 19/00563/PPP the Ordnance Survey on behalf Name (of applicant): Advance of HMSO. © Crown Copyright and database right 2009. All Construction Scotland Ltd rights reserved. Ordnance Site Address: Site To West Of Survey Licence number Potassels Road 100023396. Muirhead Development: Residential Development with Associated Car Parking, Access, Open Space, Drainage Infrastructure and Other Associated Development Recommendation: Refuse for the Following Reasons:- 1. The proposed development is contrary to the Spatial Development Strategy of the Clydeplan Strategic Development Plan 2017, Policy 1 Place Making and Policy 12 Green Network and Green Infrastructure and North Lanarkshire Local Plan Policy DSP4 Quality of Development, in that the development will result in a significant loss of amenity, identity, and character resulting in an irreversible adverse impact on the open space character associated with the site and surrounding area and the proposal fails to protect, promote or enhance the green network 2. The proposed development is contrary to policies HCF 1 (Protecting Residential Amenity and Community Facilities) and DSP 4 (Quality of Development) of the North Lanarkshire Local Plan as it is considered that the removal of this area of amenity open space (including recent woodland regeneration) the vegetation cover and earthen bunds which were created as a requirement of a planning condition of a previous planning permission would have a detrimental impact on the established amenity of the adjacent dwellings to the south. Furthermore it is considered that the proposed development site offers a valuable physical and landscape buffer between the A80 dual carriageway and existing housing and its removal would be detrimental to the character and setting of the area. 3. The proposed development is also unacceptable in terms of policy DSP 4 d) Quality of Development – (Mitigating any likely noise impacts), as the current Noise Impact Assessment has not currently demonstrated that in terms of the proposed site layout noise impact on future residents of the development can be kept within acceptable criteria. The solution to address the site levels/noise issues on this site is reliant on having houses gable onto the A80 and having windows closed which is not considered to be acceptable on this site and acoustic fencing and the orientation of properties will have a detrimental impact on the visual amenity of the area, particularly when viewed from the A80 road. 4. The site is not an allocated housing site in either the current North Lanarkshire Local Plan 2012 or the emerging North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan: Modified Proposed Plan and cannot be justified under Policy DSP2 Location of Development in the Housing Market sub-area on the grounds of sufficient housing supply land currently being available.

Site Description 1.1 The proposed development site is approximately 1.85ha in area and located on the western approaches to Muirhead and Chryston. The A80 (Cumbernauld Road), forms the northern site boundary, the housing estate of Belhaven Park is immediately to the south with residential areas also immediately east at Potassels Road/Lilybank Avenue and west at Crow Wood Road. The site is generally rectangular with a 250m frontage to the A80 and a depth of approximately 60m. An additional arm of land at the west protrudes southwards for approximately a further 150m. The site is bisected by a well-surfaced tarmacadam footpath located between two previously created 3-4m high soil bunds which stretch the length of the site. The footpath leads to a signalised pedestrian crossing of the A80 which connects to Chryston. 1.2 Site landscape cover atop bunds were previously a mix of trees and shrubs created by a planning condition as a landscape barrier to screen the Belhaven Park estate from the A80 at the initiation of that housing development in the late 1990’s however this cover was largely cleared from the site in September 2017 several years prior to submission of the current planning application. Some tree and shrub cover has naturally regenerated since the previous tree clearance works. 2. Proposed Development 2.1 The applicant is seeking planning permission in principle and has submitted an indicative layout showing approximately 34 dwellings, currently consisting of 16 detached, 10 semi-detached and 8 terraced dwellings in a linear development on either side of an internal estate road. Site access is taken from the A80 Cumbernauld Road. Individual houses would face the internal road which lies parallel to the A80. Four to five dwellings are also located on the western arm of the development which is proposed to incorporate an area of landscaped open space, an urban drainage system pond and a newly created habitat area for water voles. The application is for Planning Permission in Principle which determines whether the site is acceptable in principle for the proposed use. The applicant has however submitted a site plan with a detailed indicative site layout as a result of which during the neighbour notification process adjacent residents have commented both on the indicative layout and the principle of proposed site use for residential purposes. Should the application be granted planning permission, details regarding a finalised
