Questions None received. 147. 2/2015/0470 - West Farm Newton Arlosh - Outline application for the erection of 9 dwellings including layout and means of access Application deferred. 148. 2/2017/0264 - Land at Derwent Drive Workington - New retail unit of 1,818sqm gross to be used for Class A1 retail (929sqm ground floor and 889sqm mezzanine), plus alterations to the existing car parking and landscaping Application The Principal Planning Officer recommended approval. The Principal Planning Officer outlined the application and detailed the main issues within the report as follows: Page 3 Principle of the Development Development of the scale proposed in general terms is considered to be appropriate in terms of the functional role of Workington as the Principle service town within the settlement hierarchy. Redevelopment of the site which has previously been developed would accord with Policies S3 and S30 for the re-use of previously developed land. Town Centre Viability An acceptable sequential assessment has been provided which concludes that those sites in closer proximity to the town centre are neither suitable, viable and/or available. An impact assessment has been provided by the applicant which indicates that the proposal would attract £5.6m by 2022 based on nationally available Mintel Retail Rankings, albeit the applicants own analysis contends that this will more likely be £3.0million based on comparable stores. In cumulation with the consented retail development at St Helens Business Park, this would have a 2.8% impact on the town centre as a whole (convenience and comparison goods) and 1.2% in isolation. Having engaged external advice, this impact on Workington Town Centre is not considered to be significantly adverse, having regard to relevant policies and advice contained within the NPPF. Visual Impact The only area of concern relates to the rear elevation of the proposal which faces onto Derwent Drive, the design for which offers very little relief from the overall mass of the building. However, the scheme reflects the design previously approved for a similar building at this location and it is considered that with a Heavy Standard of tree specification along this frontage, the proposal would be acceptable. Highway Impact The Highways Authority has raised no objection to the proposal subject to conditions. A loss of 25 car parking spaces at the retail park overall is considered to be acceptable due to underuse at present. The impacts of the proposal on the existing site access (mini-roundabout are not considered to be severe. Ecology No kidney vetch present on site therefore no concerns in respect to the small blue butterfly. Members noted the representations received in respect of the application, the main grounds of which were set out in the report. Councillor M Grainger moved approval as per officers recommendations.
