LOCATION: Land To The West Of Omega South & South Of The M62 Bold St Helens WARD: Bold APPLICANT: Omega St Helens Ltd/T.J. Morris Limited CASE OFFICER: Jennifer Bolton RECOMMENDATION: Grant Planning Permission subject to the conditions, completion of an agreement under section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the Secretary of State not wishing to intervene 1. APPLICATION SITE 1.1 The application site consists of 75 hectares (ha) of predominantly arable farmland. There are also small woodland blocks throughout the site linked by hedgerows along with ditches and small ponds. The application site is 0.5m and 2.5m lower than the M62 motorway which borders the north of the site and whilst the application site does appear flat, it slopes gently decreasing by 6 metres from the northwest to the southeast of the site. 1.2 An overhead electricity distribution lines run 150 metres into the application site from the north east corner to a pylon before splitting into two sets of overhead lines. 1.3 A designated as main river, Whittle Brook, runs from the north-south of the application site. A second watercourse known as ‘Barrow Brook’ crosses the north east corner of the site. 1.4 In terms of boundaries, there is a tall hedgerow which runs along the majority of the eastern boundary. The northern boundary is a timber post-and-rail fence, behind which is an intermittent widely-spaced row of trees growing in the motorway verge. 1.5 A track runs north-south across the western sector of the site to a bridge that rises over the M62 to give access to fields on the north side of the motorway. This is a private access only for the farm. 1.6 A public right of way (PRoW), number 102, crosses the application site in the north west and runs north to south via a footbridge over the M62. P/2018/0249/FUL Planning Committee 27/10/2020 1.7 The application site falls within the Green Belt and within the Bold Forest Area Action Plan boundary. It is greenfield. Part of the site (approximately 31 ha) is proposed to be allocated in the St Helens Borough Local Plan Submission Draft (2019). 1.8 The application site is bound to the north by the M62 between Junction 7 and 8, with arable land located beyond. To the east of the site is Omega Business Park and Lingley Mere Business Park. To the south and west is farmland. Immediately beyond the south-west boundary is Booth’s Wood which has been designated as a Local Wildlife Site (LWS) and Duck Wood and Finch’s Plantation to the south. 1.9 Mersey Valley Golf & Country Club and the residential area of Lingley Green are also located south of the proposed development. There are several residential areas surrounding the application site, including Lingley Green (370 m south east), Clock Face (1 km north west), Bold Health (1.5 km south-west) and Westbrook (1.8 km east). 1.10 The main access to the application site is via Skyline Drive and Catalina Approach through the existing Omega Business Park, with direct access from the M62 Junction 8. 2. PROPOSAL 2.1 This application has been made as a hybrid, meaning that it seeks full planning permission for some elements, and outline planning permission for others. In total, the floorspace proposed within the red line totals 205,500 square metres (sq.m) (circa 2,210,500 square feet (sq.ft)). It is proposed that there will be a 30% B2 / 70% B8 split within this total floorspace. Full Planning Permission 2.2 Full planning permission is sought for the erection of one B8 use class (storage and distribution) logistics warehouse, referred to as unit 1. Unit 1 would comprise of a 77,084 sq.m (829,725 sq.ft) warehouse with 4,486 sq.m (48,287 sq.ft) of ancillary office development, comprising of a 3-storey structure providing main reception / staff facilities / goods in and transport office to form an overall total 81,570 sq.m (878,012 sq.ft) covering a site area of approximately 35 ha. The unit has an identified end user, TJMorris/Home Bargains. 2.3 The unit 1 warehouse would have a rectangular shape and would be sited 86 metres south of the M62 running parallel to it. The eastern end of the warehouse would be used for housing high bay racking and would have a height of 36 metres to the eaves and 41.6 metres to the top of the curved apex roof. The western end of the warehouse would be used for storage packing and would have a height of 24.8 metres to the eaves and 29.4 metres at the top of the curved apex roof. The warehouse would have horizontal cladding in white, grey and blue colours. The northern elevation of the warehouse, facing the M62, would have rows of dock loading doors whilst the office would be sited on the southern elevation. 2.4 A car park containing 576 parking spaces, including up to 35 disabled spaces, 48 motorcycle, 156 cycle spaces and provision for up to 39 electric vehicle spaces would be provided to the south of the site. A service yard with 360 HGV / trailer parking spaces would be provided around the periphery of the site. 2.5 Within the service yard area along the northern boundary, there would be a metal framed vehicle wash with indicative measurements stating it would measure 7 metres wide, 24.5 metres long and 6.3 metres tall. There would be a fuel island which would measure 4 metres wide, 16 metres long and 4 metres high. There would be 2no. sprinkler tanks and 1no. hydrant tank indicatively ranging from 8 to 12 metres in height. The pump house would measure 15 metres by 8 metres with a height of 4 metres. There would be a primary sub-station in the south west corner of the site which is shown to measure 3.7 metres high, 20 metres wide by 13 metres deep, along with refrigeration and transformer units to the side of the building. 2.6 In terms of landscaping, a cut and fill operation is proposed to level the site. An area of approximately 7 ha of landscape and ecology mitigation is proposed in the north west corner of P/2018/0249/FUL Planning Committee 27/10/2020 the application site immediately south of the M62. It is referred to as the ‘Green Wedge’ by the applicant. This area would contain trees and shrubs and sustainable drainage (SUDs) basins for the site drainage. Landscaping in the form of shrubbery and SUDs is also proposed along the northern boundary. 2.7 An area of ‘expansion land’ is identified adjacent to unit 1 although it forms part of the application for outline planning permission. Within the north west corner is Barrow Brook which the applicant proposes to divert to run along- side the M62. 2.8 The proposed development would be accessed from the east via an extension to the existing Omega South internal road known as Catalina Way. Cataline Way falls within Warrington Borough and connects to Skyline Drive (A5280) which then provides a direct link to Junction 8 of the M62. 2.9 At the entrance to the application site there would be a new roundabout to provide access to both unit 1 and the outline application site. A pedestrian and cycle route would run through the centre of the application site, south of the car parks associated with unit 1, towards Booth's Wood and continue west through the landscape and ecology mitigation buffer area before connecting with the existing M62 overbridge. Outline Planning Permission 2.10 Outline planning permission is sought for a combination of B2 manufacturing and B8 logistics to the remaining application site. Access has been brought forward as a detailed matter to be considered here (given that the majority is shown within the full planning site). All other matters such as landscaping, layout, appearance and scale have been reserved for future approval. 2.11 The masterplan shows that there are two areas to the outline element. The first is the land to the south of the site, which shows an indicative layout of three warehouse buildings (units 2, 3 and 4). The applicant explains that this indicative layout is not prefaced on any identified market demand beyond the accepted need for large-floorplate developments. It is likely to be subject to change based on occupier demand. 2.12 The second area is the land to the east which the applicant states is to be used for potential future expansion land for the occupier of unit 1. 2.13 The applicant states that they envisage that the outline part of the application site will be capable of accommodating up to 123,930 sq.m (1,333,9710 sq.ft) of employment development, spread across the unit 1 expansion land and three separate warehouse buildings to the south (units 2, 3 and 4). 2.14 The maximum building heights for Units 2 – 4 are not known given the outline nature of the proposals for this part of the application site.

  • Guide to Taking Part in Planning Appeals Proceeding by Written Representations - England
    Guide to taking part in planning appeals proceeding by written representations - England June 2011 Guide to taking part in planning appeals proceeding by written representations – England Please note – there are separate booklets for planning appeals that are proceeding by the hearing or inquiry process. This booklet does not apply to any appeal that is proceeding by the Householder Appeal Service (HAS) written representations process. For further information on the HAS, please see Good Practice Advice Note 02. You can access all our guidance and booklets through the Planning Portal at www.planningportal.gov.uk/pcs or you can contact us and we will send you a copy. If you need this guidance in large print, in audio format or in Braille, please contact our helpline on 0117 372 6372. The planning application and appeal process Planning applications are made to the local planning authority (LPA). Appeals may be made for a number of reasons, but most are made because the LPA have refused planning permission. Appeals are made to the Planning Inspectorate. Nearly all appeals are decided by our Inspectors, a very small percentage are decided by the Secretary of State - these tend to be for very large or contentious proposals. Effective community involvement is a key element of planning during the planning appraisal process. During the planning application process local communities should have been given the opportunity to comment on the development proposals which are the subject of an appeal and members of the public would have been welcome to give their views. If you had an interest in an application, whether you were for or against it, you almost certainly will be interested in the outcome of any appeal.

  • Planning Legislation: Merely Consolidated Or Completely Overhauled?
    Y Pwyllgor Cymunedau, Cydraddoldeb a Llywodraeth Leol Communities, Equality and Local Government Committee CELG(4)-19-15 Papur 1a / Paper 1a Planning legislation: merely consolidated or completely overhauled? CHARLES MYNORS1 I. Introduction Many of those who try to navigate their way around what is laughably called the ‘statute book’ would probably share the feelings of King Edward VI: I would wish that the superfluous and tedious statutes were brought into one sum together, and made more plain and short, to the intent that men might better understand them; which thing shall most help to advance the health of the Commonwealth.2 That was in 1550, and the problem has grown more than a little since then. One area of public life that has seen a particular growth in Government activity over the last century – with a corresponding increase in both legislation and guidance – is the management and control of the use and development of land. Unfortunately, however, there is a broad measure of agreement within the professional community that the planning system is now far too elaborate, and that it significantly prevents the provision of much needed housing, infrastructure and other new development.3 It also has very significant consequences for all those engaged in land transactions. After a period of languishing in obscurity, planning issues also seem to have recently attained greater prominence with the public and the media; and the resulting political enthusiaism for change has resulted in a system that is as misunderstood as it is criticised. Thus, lay commentators habitually refer to ‘the need to reform planning law’ when what they actually mean is ‘the desirability of reforming planning policy and procedure’ (national and local).

I am directed by the Secretary of State to say that consideration has been given to the report of Lesley Coffey BA Hons BTP MRTPI, who held a public local inquiry starting on 13 July 2020 into your client’s appeal against the decision of Herefordshire Council to refuse your client’s application for outline planning permission for a mixed use development including the erection of up to 625 new homes (including affordable housing), up to 2.9 hectares of B1 employment land, a canal corridor, public open space (including a linear park), access, drainage and ground modelling works and other associated works, in accordance with LPA reference 171532, dated 22 June 2018.
