PLANNING COMMITTEE MEETING – 13th March 2019

Planning Applications requiring Council observations: -

Plan No From Details EPC Comments 19/0155/FUL Mr. A. Wroe, Extension to existing car Leicestershire Police Force HQ, park to provide an additional St. Johns, 111 spaces. See below Enderby Leicestershire. Enderby Parish Council strongly objects to Planning Application 19/0155/FUL on the following grounds: -  Increased risk of flooding. This will involve the development of a flood plain.  Under-utilised parking provision at Enderby Park & Ride which has a large carpark that always has spare spaces and could be utilised by the Leicestershire Police Force HQ for additional parking provision. A joined up strategy would be in keeping with the Blaby District Council’s Growth Plan which demands development to be ‘Integrated and Self-Sustaining’  This is contrary to Policy DM8 strategic objective (xi) of the DPD which is to ‘encourage and develop the use of more sustainable forms of transport (Including walking, cycling, other forms of non-motorised transport and public transport).’ 19/0088/HH Mr. P. Hunt Single storey rear extension. 48 High Street No objections Enderby

Leicestershire LE19 4AG 19/0178/FUL Mr. M. Ward, Highway and junction Junction of Mill Hill (B582) and improvement works at Mill See below Warren Park Way, Hill (B582) and Warren Park

Enderby Way Leicestershire

Enderby Parish Council does not object to the proposals but would seek the following conditions: 1. In order to alleviate existing traffic flow problems on the B582, which is an already busy arterial route, it is proposed that the highway and junction improvement works at Mill Hill and Warren Park Way be put in place in advance of the construction of the proposed Employment Site development 19/0164/OUT thus actively supporting the diversion and prevention of heavy goods vehicles and construction traffic travelling through Enderby Village when an alternative route is available. 2. Enderby Parish Council seeks a Construction Method Statement to be produced in advance of commencement of works, which shall include the following:

a) the parking of vehicles of site operatives and visitors; b) loading and unloading of plant and materials; c) storage of plant and materials used in constructing the development; d) the erection and maintenance of security hoarding including decorative displays and facilities for public viewing, where appropriate; e) wheel washing facilities; f) measures to control the emission of dust and dirt during construction; g) a scheme for recycling/disposing of waste resulting from construction works; h) measures for the protection of the natural environment; i) hours of construction work, including deliveries; and j) measures to control the hours of use and piling technique to be employed k) measures to control and minimise noise from plant and machinery

This is to be submitted to, and approved in writing, by the Blaby District Council Local Planning Authority. The approved statement shall be adhered to throughout the construction period and verified where appropriate.

Leicestershire Lubbesthorpe Strategic Employment Site

Meeting of the Planning Committee, 13th March 2019

Enderby Parish Council does not object to the proposals but would seek the following conditions: 1. In order to alleviate existing traffic flow problems on the B582, which is an already busy arterial route, it is proposed that the Construction of the new public road from Warren Park Way/Harolds Lane to New Lubbesthorpe Strategic Employment Site be put in place in advance of the construction of the proposed Employment Site development 19/0164/OUT thus actively supporting the diversion and prevention of heavy goods vehicles and construction traffic travelling through Enderby Village when an alternative route is available. 2. Enderby Parish Council seeks a Construction Method Statement to be produced in advance of commencement of works, which shall include the following:

Reason: To minimise detrimental effects to the neighbouring amenities, the amenities of the area in general, detriment to the natural environment through the risks of pollution and dangers to highway safety, during the construction phase. 19/0180/RM Mr. M. Ward, Reserved Matters Land East of Harolds Lane and application for the North of Leicester Lane, construction of new public Enderby, road and roundabout to See below Leicestershire connect proposed road (19/0179/FUL) to New Lubbesthorpe Strategic Employment Site. Enderby Parish Council would make the following observations: 1. In order to alleviate existing traffic flow problems on the B582, which is an already busy arterial route, it is proposed that the new public road be put in place between Warren Park Way and the New Lubbesthorpe Strategic Employment Site in advance of the construction of the proposed Employment Site development 19/0164/OUT thus actively supporting the diversion and prevention of heavy goods vehicles and construction traffic travelling through Enderby Village when an alternative route is available. 2. That a 7.5 tonne weight restriction also be introduced at the following locations:  Mill Hill/Hall Walk/Blaby Road (up to the Foxhunter Roundabout)  Leicester Lane from the junction of Hall Walk/Blaby Road to the junction of the new road on Leicester Lane 3. Enderby Parish Council seeks a Construction Method Statement to be produced in advance of commencement of works, which shall include the following:

Meeting of the Planning Committee, 13th March 2019

Reason: To minimise detrimental effects to the neighbouring amenities, the amenities of the area in general, detriment to the natural environment through the risks of pollution and dangers to highway safety, during the construction phase. 19/0164/OUT Mr. M. Ward, Outline application for a Land To The West Of St Johns commercial development (B4114) consisting of the erection of Enderby x4 warehouse buildings with Leicestershire ancillary offices and LE19 2AB gatehouses (Use Class B8) See below and x1 training and education centre (Use Class D1) including associated accesses off St Johns (B4114) and Leicester Lane. Enderby Parish Council notes that the proposed Employment site when viewed with the proposed changes to the junction and development of the new road fulfil the criteria of Policy SA3 of the District Local Plan. However, the Council would strongly object to the Proposed development without advance introduction of the proposed junction improvements and new road proposals due to the increase in the volume of traffic which would pass through Enderby via the B582, which is an already busy arterial route. Enderby Parish Council would therefore make the following observations in respect of Planning Application 19/0164/OUT: -

1. That junction improvements detailed under Planning Application 19/0178/FUL, the new public road detailed under Planning Application 19/0179/FUL and the construction of a new public road and roundabout under Planning Application 19/0180/RM be constructed in advance of the proposed Employment Site in line with the Blaby District Local Plan Local Plan (Delivery) DPD Policy DM3 d) adopted by Blaby District Council February 2019 which states that Employment Development is to “avoid an increase in traffic generation that would result in severe harm to the local road network”.

The Council recognises that the above improvements are supported by the Enderby Parish Plan and that the introduction of the Bypass will alleviate traffic congestion in Enderby if additional safeguards are put in place to introduce a 7.5 tonne weight restriction.

Blaby District Local Plan Delivery DPD Pt. 3.33 highlights the importance of the detailed design and siting of the Employment site and that this should not adversely affect recognised environmental, social or economic matters. Therefore particular attention to its impact, especially the development on the line of the Fosse Way Roman Road (a non-designated heritage asset) should be sympathetic to the area and proportionate to the need for employment so as not to result in unacceptable adverse impacts on the landscape or residential amenity. This is particularly important with ‘high bay’ warehouse buildings.

2. That a robust Traffic Management Plan be put in place in advance of the commencement of the development of the Employment site to mitigate the increased volume of traffic movements visiting the site from the direction of Junction 21 of the M1 and Fosse Park and that appropriate transport infrastructure improvements be introduced which will mitigate the impact of the proposed development on the local and wider road network in compliance with Policy SA3 b) and c) of the Local Development Plan. 3. Enderby Parish Council seeks a Construction Method Statement to be produced in advance of the proposed phasing of the development, which shall include the following:
