All rights reserved. 10018816. 2005 LOCATION AND PROPOSAL This application is a resubmission of 07/03575/FUL following amendments to the siting of the Multi Use Games Area (MUGA). The application relates to the erection of a flood lit all weather sports training pitch (45 m by 32.5m) within the confines of the existing Davy Sports ground. The proposals involves the formation of an all weather 3rd Generation training surface, ball stop fencing up to a height of 5.8 metres and the erection of four flood lighting columns to illuminate the playing pitch. 9 The application site is located in the green belt on the edge of the housing area as defined in the adopted Sheffield Unitary development Plan. The existing site comprises of the sports club building associated parking areas, a number of grass playing pitches and a flood lit bowling green. The proposed playing pitch is located on part of a former tennis court, which has now been abandoned and has reverted to scrub land. RELEVANT PLANNING HISTORY 07/03575/FUL - Formation of multi-use games area including erection of 5.8m high fencing and 4 No. floodlights – Withdrawn. 87/01278/FUL - Erection of floodlights to bowling green - Granted Conditionally. 97/01208/FUL - Provision of 8 floodlights to tennis courts for multi-use – Refused. 98/00502/FUL - Erection of 6 x 8 metres high flood lights and 4 metres high fence – Granted Conditionally SUMMARY OF REPRESENTATIONS 4 letters of representation have been received. The issues are summarised as follows: - Flood lighting would intrude on neighbouring properties privacy - Noise and disturbance associated with playing football including the use of foul language - Parking difficulties on site already, increased traffic flows on site. - Light spillage will cause disturbance loss of amenity. - Lighting will be intrusive - Noise levels are already high at the front of the site due to the proximity of Prince of Wales Road. - Lighting, noise and increased hours of activity will have a generally detrimental impact on bird life and other wildlife. PLANNING ASSESSMENT Policy Issues Policy CF1 ‘Provision Of Community Facilities’ states that the provision of community facilities which are readily available to all Sheffield people will be promoted, particularly where they would be for disadvantaged people, be located where there is a shortage and would be easily accessible by public transport, located within the community they are intended to serve. Policy GE1 ‘Development in the Green Belt’ states development will not be permitted, except in very special circumstances where it would, lead to unrestricted growth of the built up area, contribute towards merging of existing settlements, lead to an encroachment of urban development into the countryside and compromise urban regeneration. 10 Policy GE4 ‘Development and The Green Belt Environment’ states the scale of any development which is permitted in the greenbelt, or would be conspicuous form it, should be in keeping with the area and, wherever possible, conserve and enhance the landscape and natural environment. Policy GE24 ‘Noise Pollution’ states development will only be permitted where it would not cause noise levels which would cause a nuisance, or locate sensitive uses and sources of noise pollution close together. PPG2 ‘Green Belts’ states there is general presumption against inappropriate development. Such development should not be approved, except in very special circumstances. Inappropriate development is by definition harmful to the greenbelt and its open character. The application site is located within the confines of the existing Davy Sports ground where recreational and sporting activities have been long established. The site is in the green belt on the periphery of a housing area. Floodlighting can have a significant impact on the character and appearance of the green belt if located in isolated rural environments. However the site is located on the periphery of the housing area within an existing commercial sporting facility that currently has flood lit sports facilities. When viewed from the greenbelt the illumination will be viewed in the context of the ambient light levels from the surrounding housing and commercial areas. Therefore the additional flood lighting is not considered to detrimentally affect the open character or visual amenities of the greenbelt. Amenity Issues In order to mitigate light spillage and noise disturbance the pitch has been resited. The MUGA is located parallel with the northern boundary of the existing site, splayed at an angle to the existing bowling green. The closest corner of the MUGA is 30 metres from the properties on Prince of Wales Road that back onto the site. This distance is considered acceptable to mitigate any noise disturbance generated from the site.
