Permission is being sought for the erection of a new non denominational secondary school (Coatbridge N.D.) on the grounds of the existing St. Patricks secondary school site and the provision of a multi- purpose floodlit pitch within Dunbeth Park. The proposed pitch within Dunbeth Park is a “reserved matters” submission following the associated granting of outline permission (ref:C/O3/00433/0UT) for the “Formation of Floodlit, Multi-purpose, Synthetic Pitch for Dual use with the Community” on the 18‘h June 2003. The current application site is made up of the existing school and grounds of St. Patrick’s R.C. Secondary and an area of grassed land within Dunbeth Park which, taken together measures 4.2 hectares. The site is located within a predominantly residential part of Coatbridge, adjacent to Coatbridge College and St. Patrick’s Primary school and directly to the east of the Dunbeth & Blairhill Conservation Area.

The new build school will rise to 3 storeys in height with the main school entrance being located adjacent to the proposed visitor parking/parent drop off area which is to be sited at the eastern part of the site (accessed off Park Street). Bus/Service drop offldelivery will access the site from Muiryhall Street. The proposed educational facilities will be supplemented by the provision of a floodlit multi- purpose synthetic pitch within Dunbeth Park. A total of 575 letters of objection against the proposal have been received, the contents of which will be detailed in the accompanying report.

The proposed redevelopment of the St. Patricks secondary school site as a new non denominational secondary school is part of the Education Departments 2010 PPP Project and will have significant educational benefits to the local community. Taken that the application site currently accommodates a secondary school (St. Patricks) and it complies with local plan policy then I consider the proposal to construct a new school building on site to be acceptable. The design and layout of the building and associated parking etc. is sympathetic to the location and contours of the site. While the concerns of the objectors are noted with regard to the impact of the proposed synthetic pitch on Dunbeth Park the principle of that form of development has already been accepted by the Council through the previous granting of outline planning permission C/03/00433/OUT and I consider that such a facility can be accommodated without adversely affecting the character of that Park. It is therefore recommended that planning permission be granted subject to the attached conditions.

Recommendation: Grant Subject to the Following Conditions:-

1. That the development hereby permitted shall be started within five years of the date of this permission

Reason: To accord with the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997.

2. That before the development hereby permitted starts, full details of all external materials to be used for the external walls and roof, shall be submitted to, and approved in writing by the Planning Authority.

Reason: To enable the Planning Authority to consider these aspects

3. That no trees within the application site shall be lopped, topped or felled and no shrubs or hedges, shall be removed from the application site, without the approval in writing of the Planning Authority.

Reason: In the interests of visual amenity.

4. That before the development hereby permitted starts, tree protection measures in accordance with British Standard BS 5837 shall be erected along the drip line of the trees, as shown on the approved plans, and shall not be removed without the approval in writing of the Planning Authority. Reason: To protect the existing tree cover.

5. That the proposed floodlit multi-purpose pitch shall be for community use in addition to school use and shall not be used after 9pm; or such other times as may be agreed in writing by the Planning Authority.

Reason: In the interests of local recreation and residential amenity.

6. That before the development starts, full details of the location and design of the drainage scheme to be installed shall be submitted to the Planning Authority for written approval, and these shall include full details of the location and design of the surface water drainage scheme, and for the avoidance of doubt the scheme shall comply with the Scottish Environment Protection Agency‘s principals of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS).

Reason: To ensure the provision of satisfactory site drainage arrangements

8. That before the development hereby permitted starts, a Flood Risk Assessment Report, (prepared by a chartered civil engineer or equivalent) shall be submitted to and approved in writing the Planning Authority. For the avoidance of doubt, the report should demonstrate that the development proposals will not increase flood risk; will not result in the proposed buildings and access routes to those buildings becoming susceptible to flooding: and will not adversely impact on the sensitivity of the overall drainage system to flooding for a range of storm events including a 1 in 75 year and 1 in 200 year storm event.

Reason: To enable the Planning Authority to fully consider this aspect of the development.

9. That before the development hereby permitted is brought into use, all the pedestrian accesses, footways, parking and manoeuvring areas, including bus bays, drop off and servicing areas shown on the approved plans, shall be levelled, properly drained, surfaced in a material which the Planning Authority has approved in writing before the start of surfacing work and clearly marked out, and shall, thereafter, be maintained for the approved purpose.

Reason: To enable the Planning Authority to consider these aspects.

15 That within one year of the development hereby permitted being brought into use, all planting, seeding, turfing and earth moulding included in the scheme of landscaping and planting, approved under the terms of condition 14 above, shall be completed; and any trees, shrubs, or areas of grass which die, are removed, damaged, or become diseased within two years of completion of the development, shall be replaced within the following year with others of a similar size and species.

Reason: In the interests of the environmental amenity of the area.

NOTE TO COMMITTEE:

If granted this application will require to be referred to the Scottish Ministers in accordance with the Town & Country Planning (Notification of Applications) (Scotland) Direction 1997 due to the Council's interest in the site.

REPORT

1. Description of Site and Proposal

1.1 The application site measures 4.2 hectares and comprises of the existing school buildings and grounds of St. Patrick’s R.C. Secondary School, Kildonan Street together with an adjacent area of open grassed land within Dunbeth Park. The site is located within a predominantly residential part of Coatbridge to the north of the town centre, adjacent to Coatbridge College and St. Patrick’s primary school, and directly to the east of the Dunbeth & Blairhill Conservation Area.

1.2 The proposal seeks to replace the existing secondary school buildings with a modern non denominational secondary school building to accommodate the staff and pupils of the amalgamated Rosehall and Coatbridge High. The new build will be located on the site of the existing school and will rise to 3 storeys along the Kildonan Street frontage and 2 storeys along the elevated Muiryhall Street frontage. Externally the building will be finished in renderlfacing brick with cladding panels and curtain walling throughout. The roof area will be of a curved standing seam design.

1.3 Internally the following accommodation will be provided:-

Lower Ground floor - Graphicldesign studio’s, classrooms (food, textile, practical craft), dance studio, gymnasiums, games hall and changing areas; Ground floor - school reception, assembly hall, administration rooms, kitchen, dininglsocial space, classrooms (modern language, art, music, rme/pshe, toilets and drama studio; First floor - classrooms (social subjects, maths, english, business education), science labs, library and practical rooms.

1.4 The main entrance to the building will be from the Park Street elevation while pupil entrances will be on both Kildonan Street and Muiryhall Street elevations. Staff and visitor parking will be located at the eastern part of the site (accessed off Park Street) with bus drop offlservice delivery provided from Muiryhall Street. A large bitmac surfaced playground with shrub planting around the perimeter will be positioned at the westernmost part of the site and a generous level of soft landscaping will be provided throughout the site including additional tree planting along the site’s northern boundary with Kildonan Street.

1.5 A new full sized floodlit multi-purpose synthetic pitch (106m x 66m) be formed within the grounds of Dunbeth Park for dual use by the school and the general community. The synthetic pitch will be enclosed by 3 metre high galvanised plastic coated weldmesh fence with illumination by lighting mounted on 6 x 13 metre high galvanised sectional columns. The location of this facility is close to the pedestrian access into the park off Kildonan Street and the affected land is currently flat, open grassed land that is used for general amenity purposes. This recreational facility will be directly associated with the changing facilities proposed within the main school building and the use of the floodlit pitch outwith school hours will be strictly controlled through the school.

2. Development Plan

2.1 The proposed development raises no strategic issues in terms of the Glasgow and the Clyde Valley Joint Structure Plan.

2.2 In terms of the Monklands District Local Plan 1991 the site is covered by Policy EDUC 1: Protect and Improve Schools and Policy LRI 1: Improve Public Open Space. 2.3 Outline permission for the pitch was granted in June 2003 and so the principle of that use has been established.

3. Consultations and Representations

3.1 Summaries of the consultation responses are as follows:-

Sportscotland: Fully supports the proposed floodlit synthetic pitch within Dunbeth Park as a valuable sports facility for both school and community use. They also suggested that spaces for sport within the building be designed in accordance with their published ‘Primary School Facilities Design Guidance’. Police: No objection to proposals. Transco: No objection to proposals and indicates position of apparatus in vicinity of site. Scottish Power: No objection to proposals and indicates position of apparatus in vicinity of site. Education: No objection to proposals. Scottish Water: objected to the proposal. However, they also advise that the objection would be removed if the developer agrees to meet the costs of the increase in capacity of Scottish Water’s existing infrastructure to accommodate their development and promotes a scheme that does not compromise the quality and quantity of discharge from the existing sewerage system and which is in terms satisfactory to Scottish Water. SEPA: No objection to proposals subject to surface water being treated in accordance with the principles of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) and that the principles of SUDS should be adopted even when connection is made to Scottish Water’s combined sewers. In addition, all foul drainage from the site should be connected to the public sewer and this should not cause or contribute to the premature operation of consented storm overflows. The principles in Pollution Prevention Guidelines (PPG6) should be followed to ensure that during the construction and demolition phase there is no increased risks of water pollution due to the presence of existing drains. Additionally, the principles in Schools and Educational Establishments (PPG 16) should be followed, in particular, the drainage from pollution vulnerable areas, such as loading bays, bus stopshrning points must connect to the foul

3.2 The Transportation Section has no objection to the proposals as they are generally in keeping with the Transport Assessment Report (TAR) produced on behalf of the applicant and is satisfied with the proposed off-site works (as recommended in the TAR). The Protective Services Section has no objection to the proposals and has recommended a restriction on hours of operation during demolitionlconstruction works. NLC Community Services Department has no objection to the proposals and has suggested that the new build could be designed accommodate nesting swifts.

3.3 Following the standard neighbour notification and public advertisement procedures 575 letters of representation were received against this proposal. It should be noted that all but a few of these objections take the form of standard letters and a number of parties whose addresses were included have contacted this Department on receipt of an acknowledgement letter to indicate that the signed representation letters were not from them. It should also be noted that while reference was made in a few of the objections to the proposed new school, the objections were overwhelmingly against the proposed introduction of the floodlit pitch within the grounds of Dunbeth Park. The main points of objection raised were as follows:

a) The public park was bequeathed by William Weir of Kildonan to the public as a park for everyone and this proposal will deny the public of this use. b) The floodlit pitch will encourage undesirables loitering all year round which is only a problem in summer months. c) The floodlights would project a constant glare in the evening into the adjacent properties d) There would be increased traffic, parking and access problems on roads around site created due to the community use of Coatbridge College, the new school etc. e) Increased adhoc parking along Kildonan Street will cause danger to pedestrians and college pupils. f) The use of synthetic materials on the playing surface would be unnatural and would spoil the beauty of the park. g) Visual appearance of the park will be detrimentally affected due to the 5 metre high fence with floodlight poles. h) Any removal of trees in the park would be resisted. i) The park is a green belt area which requires constant maintenance and this proposal would make maintenance of the area difficult. 1) The existing free facility (grass pitches) will become a fee paying facility. k) Noise pollution caused by persons playing on the pitch. 3.4 A letter was received from Elaine Smith MSP which reinforces her objection to any development on Dunbeth Park (as per her initial submission to the 2002 consultation by the Education Dept.) and raised concern that the opinion of a significant proportion of the local community seems to have been overridden by the stipulations of the PPP process bidders who identified Dunbeth Park as the area on which the facility should be located. She considers that the development will see a significant area of the park restricted from everyday use and dramatically alter the nature of a vital community resource and valuable green space.

3.5 An objection letter from the “Friends of Dunbeth Park” has requested that consideration of this application be deferred pending a site visit and hearing by the elected members.

4. Planninn Assessment and Conclusions

4.7 In terms of Section 25 of the Town & Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 planning decisions require to be made in accordance with the development plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise.

4.2 In terms of the development plan, the proposed development does not meet the scale of significance (Schedule 9) for normal assessment against the Glasgow and the Clyde Valley Joint Structure Plan 2000 and therefore raises no strategic issues.

In terms of the adopted Monklands District Local Plan 1991 the application site is covered by leisure and recreation policy (LRI 1) and educational policy (EDUCI). The proposed development is not contrary to the adopted local plan in terms of Policy LRll in that the proposal has shown to retain and improve the same level of public open space as currently existing (within Dunbeth Park). The proposal also accords with the local plan in terms of improved school provision (EDUCI ) and potentially in respect of improved community centre facilities.

4.3 The application complies with the terms of the outline consent in respect of the location of the pitch and where details are outstanding these can be required by the imposition of planning conditions. The siting and design of the new school building are considered to be acceptable, the new school being at greater distances from the adjacent residential properties some 45 metres from those on Muiryhall Street. The layout is also acceptable and generally complies with Transportation requirements for parking and circulation for vehicles and pedestrians.

Requirements of the consultees can be secured through the imposition of planning conditions and it is considered that the impact on the surrounding area will be minimal.

4.4 The principle of the acceptability of the proposed use within the policy LRll area i.e. floodlit multi-purpose pitch, has already been established through the approval of the outline planning application by the Council. The proposed redevelopment of the existing St. Patrick’s Secondary school site for educational purposes is compliant with its Local Plan designation and therefore considered acceptable in principle by this department. Having regard to this the assessment of this part of the application must therefore consider whether the proposal complies with the terms of the outline consent and whether the proposed detailed layout is acceptable in terms of the impact upon the site and the surrounding area, particularly the residents of that area. The application site includes a small section of Dunbeth Park which is made up of wide-open grassed areas, an interlinking footpath network and sports playing fields. The existing footpaths provide a well used network for local residents accessing the various facilities within the park. The applicant recognises the importance of this large area of amenity open space and proposes to retain as much of the character of the existing park as possible while adaptinf its proposal around the footpath network. The application site itself does not physically affect any of the dedicated pitches within the park and only seeks to utilise a relatively small area of open grassed land which is not currently used for any active recreational purpose.

4.5 With respect to the points of objection raised I would comment as follows:-

a) matters such as legal constraints (including title burdens) on any use of the subject land are not material considerations as far as the processing of this application is concerned. b) In relation to the concerns over the congregation of youths around the floodlit pitch all year round with resultant noise, anti-social behaviour etc. it should be noted that the surrounding park is open and available for public use at all times and the introduction of this added recreational facility will not alter public access to the surrounding park area. It should also be noted that the floodlit pitch would only be available for use up to 9 pm in the evenings as conditioned on any planning permission. Matters pertaining to claims of anti-social behaviour etc. are in themselves best dealt with by the local police. c) The progressive design and positioning of the floodlights will allow for maximum coverage of the pitch while resulting in a substantial reduction in spill-over than conventional floodlights. This will minimise obtrusive light to the benefit of the surrounding residents. Taken the substantial distance between the floodlights and the nearby residences, which in parts are also screened by large mature tree cover (along both the Muiryhall Street and Park Street) then any obtrusive light would be minimal at the best. d)-e)ln respect of the trafficlparking issue the Transportation Section do not anticipate that there will be any overriding transportation hindrance to the proposed development and they are satisfied that the surrounding roads can adequately accommodate the complex variety of uses around the application site. The synthetic pitch would be used by the school during school hours and this would not introduce any added traffic generation into the area. Community use of the pitch outwith school hours would allow the school car park to accommodate any associated vehicle movement into the area. f)-g)the use of sympathetic coloured materials (green) on both the pitch surface and the enclosed security fencing will lessen the visual prominence of the proposal when viewed against the surrounding park lands. The proposed fencing will be set at a height of 3 metres (not 5 metres as stated) which is significantly lower than the height of the adjacent large number of mature trees and while the 6 floodlit supporting columns will be set at a higher level these in themselves will not be viewed as over prominent when set against the backdrop of the surrounding tree cover. h)-I)No existing trees adjacent to or generally within Dunbeth Park would require to be removed or affected in any way to accommodate the proposed new sports pitch. The nature and construction of this new recreational facility will require minimal maintenance and its presence within the park will in no way impinge on the maintenance arrangements carried out by the Council on the surrounding park lands. j) The main function of the new recreational facility within Dunbeth Park is as a supporting activity linked directly to the proposed new school and while that facility may be available to the community outwith school hours its use, and any incidental income generated (through the letting of the pitch) will be overseen by the Education authority k) Taken the distance of the pitch from the nearest residential properties then I consider that there would be minimal impact on the amenity of those properties in terms of noise nuisance.

4.6 Identification of Dunbeth Park as an option for providing a recreational facility for dual use by the proposed new school and the general community was determined by the Education Department and not by the PPP process bidders as intimated. Site size constraints on the existing St. Patricks school site made the provision of the required level of recreational facilities impossible within the confines of that site and as such the available option of utilising a section of Dunbeth Park was taken forward by the Education Dept. as part of the present submission in line with the previous outline permission C/03/00433/0UT which had previously been granted in June 2003. The proposed use of a section of Dunbeth Park as a pitch for dual use between the School and the community was subject to an outline application, which was granted in June 2003, and so the principle has been established. This application is dealing with the details of the proposal in respect of Dunbeth Park.

5. Conclusions

5.1 As referred to above, planning applications require to be made in accordance with the development plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise.

5.2 It is recognised that the proposal is not contrary to the adopted Local Plan as the existing site will be redeveloped and the proposed floodlit pitch will be sited on an area of designated open space. The part of the application site within Dunbeth Park has already been accepted by the Council for the proposed purpose (floodlit pitch) through the granting of the outline planning permission and it is clear that a new school to replace the existing ageing St. Patrick’s High school will be welcomed and will be of considerable educational benefit to the surrounding community. Furthermore the proposed community and recreational facilities will be valued community assets and the proposed floodlit pitch will increase recreational activity within the area. There are also no road safety objections raised by the Transportation Section. It is therefore recommended that planning permission be granted subject to the attached conditions.

5.3 In view of North Lanarkshire’s ownership of the site and because a significant level of objections have been received, any determination to grant permission must be referred to the Scottish Ministers under the Town and Country Planning (Notification of Applications) (Scotland) Direction 1997.
