Agenda Item 4 Agenda Item 4 PLANNING COMMITTEE MEETING – 5th February 2014 Amendment/De-brief Sheet PLANNING APPLICATIONS CIRCULATION: First ITEM: APPLICATION REF: 13/1747/FUL Location: 177, 179, 193 And 195 Histon Road Target Date: 28.01.2014 To Note: Email received from the Windsor Road Residents’ Association: “Windsor Road Residents' Association wish to formally withdraw their objection to this development in view of the cooperation of the developers in attempting to solve the parking difficulties (and, of course, their implicit recognition that the occupiers of these flats will, indeed, have cars - a fact that has been repeatedly denied by other developers of small apartments in this area). Although we still have grave concerns about the number of small apartments being constructed when we believe the real need is for family housing, we do appreciate that this particular site would not be an appropriate or safe place to accommodate children ” Email received from no.59 Windsor Road: “In the light of the revisions to the above planning application, I wish to withdraw my objections”. Amendments To Text: None Pre-Committee Amendments to Recommendation: No change. DECISION : CIRCULATION: First ITEM: APPLICATION REF: 13/1469/FUL Location: Westminster College Target Date: 07.01.2014 1 Page 1 To Note: Appendix A – Photo from Madingley Road/Lady Margaret Road junction is attached to the amendment sheet. Letters of Support The applicant has requested the following letters of support, which were included within the Design and Assess Statement, be brought to the Committee’s attention: The Archbishop of Canterbury The Chief Rabbi Prince Hassan of Jordan Officer Comments The strong support for the principle of development is acknowledged. But this does not outweigh the significant harm to Heritage Assets in this context. Further information The applicants agent has submitted the following additional information: Views Assessment This shows a revised graphical analysis of key views within a winter street scene. Officer Comment The revised graphical analysis demonstrates how visible the building will be through the winter months. The site when viewed head on will reveal the excessive bulk and mass of the building. Officers do not agree that the drum is a ‘subservient reflection’ of Westminster College tower. Additional statement on need and alternative options Wesley House, Jesus Lane is no longer large enough to accommodate the Woolf Institute. Wesley House is to be sold shortly. Given the purpose of the institute and its membership of the Cambridge Theological Federation (CTF), other sites occupied by members of the federation were considered the best solution for relocation. Ridley Hall, Wescott House, was the only other option, but the site has no capacity for a new building. The Woolf Institute is growing and must accommodate two funded PHD students a year and visiting fellows. Students and scholars should be accommodated together as is the case with other theological colleges. 2 Page 2 Officer Comments While site sharing with another CTF member is no doubt desirable, there is no reason why the Institute could not be located elsewhere, as is the case with the other CTF institutions. There has been no adequate explanation as to why elements of the new institute, such as the student rooms, could not be accommodated within Westminster College to reduce the mass of the building. Catering will be within Westminster College, so there is already intended to be close practical arrangements between the two buildings. Revised Transport Statement The applicant contests the need for contributions towards the Western Corridor Area Transport Plan (WCATP). The document is considered out of date and it is considered unreasonable to request improvements or schemes that cannot be identified. Officer Comment The County Highways Authority is considering this response. I will update verbally at the Committee. Amendments To Text: No amendments. Pre-Committee Amendments to Recommendation: No amendments. DECISION : CIRCULATION: First ITEM: APPLICATION REF: 13/1250/OUT Location: Homerton Business Centre, Purbeck Road Target Date: 07.01.2014 To Note: The Council has received a DEMDET (permitted demolition notice) from the applicants in relation to most of the buildings on the site. The application includes a schedule of existing public art features that are going to be retained as part of the site clearance. Further consultee response A further consultation response has been received from the Environment Agency. 3 Page 3 They confirm that they no longer object to the application and recommend several conditions relating to surface water and contamination. These conditions already form part of the recommendations. A further response has been received from the County Transport Team regarding the SCATP contributions . They have confirmed that they are willing to accept discounting the additional 238 trips that would be generated by students from the adjoining Purbeck House/Tripos Court sites and that they are also willing to accept that the SCATP contribution can be reduced by £16,120 due to the fact that an improvement to the cycle provision at the junction of Hills Road and Purbeck Road will be implemented. This is deemed to have a wider benefit to cyclists along the Hills Road corridor and is in accordance with the corridor plans. A phased approach for the SCATP payment to reflect the College’s occupancy over a three year period is agreed In conclusion this would leave the SCATP contribution at: x £221,400 less £16,122 (i.e. the cost of improvements to the Hills Road and Purbeck Road junction) for Phase 1 (i.e. £205,278) and phased payment to reflect the occupancy of the College over a 3 year period (Phase 1). x Contribution of up to £191,511 (phase 2). Amendments To Text: The financial contributions on page 134 in the table and the figures in paragraph 8.104 of the report are updated to reflected revised SCATP contributions as highlighted above. Pre-Committee Amendments to Recommendation: Materials 31. No application of materials (e.g. brickwork, blockwork, render, cladding, windows) of Block A shall commence until sample panels of the materials to be used in the construction of the external surfaces has been prepared on site for inspection and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The brick sample panel shall be at least 1m x 1m and show the proposed material, bond and pointing technique. Other samples shall including roofing, cladding, render, coping, window samples and reveal depths, including samples and confirmation of the colour scheme for the trespa cladding to be used in the development. The development shall be constructed in accordance with the approved samples and details, which shall not be removed from the site until the completion of the development. Reason: To ensure that the appearance of the external surfaces is appropriate (Cambridge Local Plan 2006 policies 3/4, 3/7, 3/12 and 3/14). DECISION : 4 Page 4 GENERAL ITEMS CIRCULATION: First ITEM: Elizabeth House Conditions To Note: Amendments To Text: None Pre-Committee Amendments to Recommendation: None DECISION : CIRCULATION: First ITEM: Unex House Public Art To Note: Amendments To Text: None Pre-Committee Amendments to Recommendation: None DECISION : CIRCULATION: First ITEM: Review of the Cambridge Design and Conservation Panel – Findings and Recommendations To Note: The version of Appendix 3 (Terms of Reference and Constitution for the panel) that has been published did not include a tracked changes version as it should have. The tracked changes represent those changes officers recommend to the Terms of Reference that the Planning Committee should approve following review of the operations of the panel. The correct version of Appendix 3 including tracked changes will be circulated together with this amendment sheet. Amendments To Text: None, the correct version of Appendix 3 will be provided and does not change the recommendation. Pre-Committee Amendments to Recommendation: None. 5 Page 5 DECISION : 6 Page 6 Appendix A View from Madingley Road/Lady Margaret Road Junction Page 7 This page is intentionally left blank Page 8 APPENDIX 3 CAMBRIDGE CITY DESIGN AND CONSERVATION PANEL TERMS OF REFERENCE AND CONSTITUTION Latest revision Approved January 2011February 2014 1.
