Application No : N/96/0084/PL Date Registered : 17 May 1996 APPLICANT : Amec Developments Ltd Fairclough House Portsmouth Road Thames Ditton Agent : Hillier Parker 28 Castle Street Edinburgh DEVELOPMENT : Residential Development (Outline) LOCATION : Scottish Power Site, Heathfield Avenue, Moodiesburn Estimated Cost : i Ward No : 68 Grid Reference : 7016 7070 File Reference : Site History : Development Plan : Strathkelvin District Southern Area Adopted Local Plan (1983) Strathkelvin District Finalised Draft Local Plan (1995) Article 18 Required Yes CONSULTATIONS : Objection No Objection SEPA, The Coal Authority, West of Scotland Water, Conditions No Reply Scottish Ofice Roads Directorate REPRESENTATIONS : Neighbours Section 23 Councillor W Hogg, Civic Centre, Motherwell; Councillor C Gray, Civic Centre, Motherwell; Moodiesburn Community Council, c/o Mrs G Tobia, 27 Edington Gardens, Moodiesburn 1 COMMENTS : The application is in outline for a residential development on a 3.75 hectare site off Heathfield Avenue, Moodiesburn. Half of the site is currently occupied by Scottish Power and half is open land. No potential development detail have been submitted although it has been made clear that access would be via Heathfield Avenue. It is estimated that the site may accommodate approximately 85 dwellings. Letters of objection have been received from Councillor William Hogg, Councillor Charles Gray and the Moodiesburn Community Council. Points of objection are as follows - The site is zoned for industrial purposes in the past and current local plans. The land should remain as industrial land. Moodiesburn has an unemployment rate of 11 3% and protection of industrially zoned land is of the utmost importance. The proposal would create an unattractive visual housing movementkoalescence towards Cumbernauld and the A80. The site should be open space. The principal of housing on the site was rejected by Strathkelvin District Council in their latest Local Plan when the site remained zoned for industrial purposes. Access will only be via Heathfield Avenue and not the A80 thus creating traffic pressure at the A80 traffic lights and the junction with Stoneyetts Road. Part of the site may be required to accommodate upgrading of the A80 to motorway. There is inadequate infrastructure in Moodiesburn to accommodate the proposed housing which will be in addition to 400 recently built dwellings. The following points have been made in support of the application - There is an oversupply of smaller industrial sites within North Lanarkshire and it is unlikely that the application site will be fully utilised for industrial purposes. Strathclyde Structure Plan supports the concept of reusing industrial land for housing where there is an over provision. Scottish Power the user of half of the site, intend to relocate to the Euro Centre in Mossend. The proposed development will not therefore lead to the loss of employment in North Lanarkshire. Housing is appropriate for the site. The amenity of the area will be improved by the removal of a large distribution unit and replacement by quality private housing. 2 There are no adverse consultee comments. It is considered that key points for consideration are zoning, residential amenity and road safety. There is an adequate supply (200 ha) of immediately available and potentially available industrial land in the Northern Division of North Lanarkshire. A non industrial development on the site will not therefore cause any significant harm to the industrial attractiveness of the area. The site is bounded by housing on two sides and is served by a road which mainly serves residential areas. Residential development is therefore considered appropriate for this area. There are no road safety objections to the proposal. It should be noted that the site is not affected by either the Kelvin Valley or A80 motorway options. Both schemes incorporate a new section of motorway to the north of Moodiesburn and as such the section of A80 adjacent to the application site will have a significant reduction in traffic. It is considered that on balance residential development is acceptable on the site and it is recommended that permission be granted. The application has been processed under the terms of the Town and Country Planning (Development Contrary to Development Plans) (Scotland) Direction 1996. An advertisement has appeared in the local newspaper and the points of objection considered. This procedure has therefore been satisfactorily completed. RECOMMENDATION : Grant subject to the following conditions : 1 This permission is granted under the provision of Section 4 of the Town and Country Planning (General Development Procedure) (Scotland) Order 1992 for an outline application and the further approval of the District Council, or the Secretary of State on Appeal, shaIl be required with respect to the undermentioned matter before development is commenced - (a) the siting, size, height, and external appearance of the proposed development (b) the means of drainage and disposal of foul sewage (c) details of the access arrangements (d) details of landscaping Reason: To comply with Section 39 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1992.
