REPORT OF THE HEAD OF COMMUNITY WELLBEING AND DEVELOPMENT – 7 May 2013

RELEVANT HISTORY

P/20113/0114 Listed Building Consent for conversion of barn to dwelling, double garage and store and associated external works. Next application on this Agenda. P/2005/1480 Listed Building Consent to convert former agricultural building to dwelling. Granted 7.8.2006. P/2005/1479 Conversion of former agricultural building to dwelling. Granted 5.6.2006.

DEVELOPMENT PLAN

Outside settlement. Policies PS2, H3, GDP1 and EC9 of the Wrexham Unitary Development Plan are relevant. Grade II Listed Building.

CONSULTATIONS

Community Council: Consulted 15.2.13. Local Member: Notified 15.2.13. Public Protection: No objection. Highways: No objection subject to conditions requiring adequate visibility splays, provision of parking areas indicated on drawings and location of gates at access. CCW: No objections as the site has been subject to survey and assessment in respect of statutory protected species. The precautionary recommendations outlined in the submitted Protected Species Report should be undertaken. Welsh Water: No foul / surface water sewers in the immediate vicinity. Environment Agency: No objections, standard advice note applies. CPAT: Photographic record required. Other Representations: Two letters of concern but not in principle objections to the scheme:  Adequate drainage arrangements need to be provided.  Surface water should not enter the highway drains as a potential for flooding of nearby farmland.  The septic tank on the adjoining house within the same family ownership appears to have some seepage which would soak away into the public highway and ultimately into a watercourse on adjoining land. The existing tank would appear inadequate to cater for the additional dwelling. Page No 4

REPORT OF THE HEAD OF COMMUNITY WELLBEING AND DEVELOPMENT – 7 May 2013

 The three roof lights, steps and kick wall proposed for the North-West elevation, the extra window on the ground floor on the South- West elevation and the single ground floor level would all compromise the character of the building.  Careful consideration required over the erection of the timber clad outbuilding / double garage in terms of its impact on the setting of the Listed Building and general character of the area. Could set a precedent in the area. Materials are not ‘traditional’ to the area or locally sourced.  Seven parking spaces appears excessive. Site Notice: Expired 22.3.13.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS/ISSUES

Policy: No objections in principle to a residential use for the former barn. Its proximity to two existing properties and access to the site along narrow country lanes would make it unsuitable for alternative uses.

Impact on the character of the Listed Building: The barn is a Grade II listed building. Planning Permission and Listed Building Consent have previously been granted but have subsequently expired. The building is considered to be ‘vulnerable’ on the Council’s Register of Buildings at Risk and the proposals provide a suitable long-term use of the building.

The structural survey has indicated that the building in its existing condition is capable of re-use without substantial works. The main works involve dismantling / rebuilding the South-West gable elevation and the North-West corner and provision of a new slate roof. The scheme and elevational treatment provided are generally acceptable but some limited additional information / clarification and amendments have been requested. This includes relatively minor elevational treatment, proposed means of insulation, extent of replacement roof timbers and modifications to the Conservation Method Statement. The additional submissions and planning conditions will ensure the character and integrity of the building is not compromised.

A garage / workshop is also proposed to the rear of the building. Its location, limited scale, largely open frontage and materials ensure it is subservient to the main building and ensures it does not detrimentally impact on the character and setting of the Listed Building.

Highways: The development site is located on a narrow unclassified road subject to the national speed limit. Typical vehicle speeds are estimated at being at no more than 15 mph given the geometry of the road in the vicinity. Adequate parking is provided with 3 spaces to the front of the building and an Page No 5

REPORT OF THE HEAD OF COMMUNITY WELLBEING AND DEVELOPMENT – 7 May 2013 existing gated access to the rear of the property which would enable parking for another 4 vehicles if required. A condition will be required to improve visibility at the access.

Ecology: A Protect Species Report has been submitted with the application. CCW and the Council’s Ecologist are satisfied the survey and assessment are acceptable and the recommendation of the ecological report will be conditioned.

Other considerations: Concerns have been raised regarding drainage of the development. A condition will require details of surface and foul water proposals to ensure the works do not exacerbate any potential flooding issues or pollution to the environment. I am satisfied generally that the elevational treatment is sympathetic but minor alterations have been requested.

Distance and orientation to the other existing properties ensures no loss of privacy.

Conclusion: I am satisfied that the proposal is acceptable. The building is capable of being converted without substantial works to the building and the conversion scheme protects the character of the Listed Building. The additional information requested will be reported on the addendum prior to Committee. Highway safety and ecological interests are not compromised.

NOTE(S) TO APPLICANT

The applicant is advised that compliance with Condition No. 4 does not provide an exemption from the statutory noise nuisance provisions of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Any complaints received relating to noise from the development during the permitted hours may still be investigated using the Council's Standardised Procedure for Dealing with Noise Nuisance Complaints and legal action may be taken where appropriate.

The applicant is advised that the Council has the option to control construction noise by serving a Control of Pollution Act 1974, Section 60, Notice where Page No 7

REPORT OF THE HEAD OF COMMUNITY WELLBEING AND DEVELOPMENT – 7 May 2013 deemed necessary, and failure to comply with such a Notice can result in prosecution. For further information and advice regarding construction noise please contact the Council's Housing and Public Protection Department on 01978 315300.

Burning of waste generated from construction activities is not considered to be an appropriate method of disposal and action may be taken as follows: - Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 anyone found disposing of construction site waste by burning is likely to be in breach of their duty of care with regard to waste disposal; - Under the same Act an abatement notice may be served where smoke is judged to be causing a nuisance to neighbouring properties. Failure to comply with the requirements of the notice can result in prosecution; - Under the Clean Air Act 1993 it is an offence for a commercial activity to burn anything that gives rise to dark smoke.

To prevent offences under the above named Acts there should be no bonfires on the site, to include the prohibition of the burning of cleared vegetation. The applicant should contact the Council's Housing and Public Protection Department on 01978 315300 for further advice and information.

The Applicant is advised that under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, dust from construction and/or demolition activities can be judged to be causing a statutory nuisance to neighbouring properties. A legal notice can be served requiring that any dust nuisance is abated and failure to comply with the requirements of the notice can result in prosecution. The applicant should contact the Council's Housing and Public Protection Department on 01978 315300 for further advice and information.

If evidence of storage/spillage of agro-chemicals are found in or around the farm buildings/outbuildings/area, then it would be prudent to investigate the potential for residual contamination. The applicant is advised to contact the Housing and Public Protection Department of the Council on 01978 315733 for further guidance.

Your attention is drawn to the Standard Advice Note from the Environment Agency attached to this decision. ______Page No 8

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS/ISSUES

Impact on the character of the Listed Building: The barn is a Grade II Listed Building. Planning permission and Listed Building Consent have previously been granted but have subsequently expired. The building is considered to be ‘vulnerable’ on the Council’s register of Buildings at Risk and the proposals provide a suitable long-term use of the building.

The Structural Survey and the accompanying Conservation Method Statement indicates the main works involved in making the barn habitable and include the dismantling / rebuilding of the South-West gable elevation and the North- West corner of the building and reconstructing the roof structures. A new timber framed and clad outbuilding is also proposed.

The scheme and elevational treatment is generally acceptable, although I have requested additional information / clarification and amendments to the Conservation Method Statement. The submission of the further details should address a number of the issues raised by SPAB and the Council’s Conservation Officer.

I am satisfied that the amended Conservation Method Statement and appropriate planning conditions will ensure the character and integrity of the building is not compromised.

The garage / workshop proposed will be subservient to the main building and its design, location and materials will not compromise the setting of the Listed Building.

Conclusion: I am satisfied that the use is appropriate and will secure the long term future of the building and the proposed works will protect the integrity of the building.

THE SITE

The site is on the north-east side of Waverley Crescent, south of Darland High School.

Plan showing location of P/2011/0415 Page No 13

REPORT OF THE HEAD OF COMMUNITY WELLBEING AND DEVELOPMENT – 7 May 2013

Plan showing access arrangement now proposed

PROPOSAL

As above. The conditions relate to the approved arrangement for a shared access to the existing dwelling and the proposed building plot. The permission granted in 2011 requires that a joint access be made to the adjoining access serving the garage court to the south, requiring works to Council land. The path leading to the garage court and hall is also used for access to Darland High school.

Applicant’s statement The increase in use of the existing access would be minimal amounting to 6 movements per day. The submitted proposals take account of the reasons for refusal of the first 2011 application by widening the existing access to 6 metres, extending the dropped kerbs and bringing the access to the required standards.

There is excellent visibility from the existing access and there is clear visibility over the adjoining track and footpath following removal of the fence and hedge. Adequate parking is provided for the existing and proposed dwellings.

DEVELOPMENT PLAN

The site within settlement limits. Policies PS1 GDP1 and H2 of UDP are relevant, together with LPGN 16 parking. TAN18 transport is also relevant.

CONSULTATIONS

Rossett C Council: Support Local Member: Consulted 26/2/2013 Highways: Recommend refusal Site Notice: Expired 20/3/2013 Other Representations: Adjoining occupiers notified 27/2/2013. 1 letter of support received, supporting the applicant’s statement and revised proposals. The joint access would not have any detrimental impact on road users or pedestrians. The extra cost would make the bungalow unviable. The appearance of the vacant land will be improved by the proposed bungalow.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS/ ISSUES

Highway Issue: The application seeks to use to the improved existing access for the proposed dwelling. The first 2011 application, which did not involve works affecting the Council access road to the south, was refused partly on highway grounds.

The second application in 2011 resolved the highways issue by proposing a widening of the unadopted access track and a new 2 metre footway, with the access for the existing and the new dwelling taken from the improved track to the south.

The agent has submitted a statement referring to the history of proposals for this site and the costs (excessive in his view) of obtaining consent for works affecting Council land.

Visibility from the shared access is adequate as traffic speeds are low due to parked cars and the curvature of the road. It is accepted that the access is to Page No 15

REPORT OF THE HEAD OF COMMUNITY WELLBEING AND DEVELOPMENT – 7 May 2013 be widened to 6 metres and the hedge removed on the front and southern boundaries.

The highway objection relates to the increased use of the existing access given its location adjoining the private access road to the garage court. This is considered to be likely to cause increased danger to road users and pedestrians.

Conclusion: The costs involved in achieving a safe access to the proposed dwelling are not a material consideration, as the development has been approved subject to agreed conditions. In the circumstances I see no reason to over-rule the advice of the highway authority.

RECOMMENDATION: That permission be REFUSED

REASON(S)

1. The traffic generated by the proposed development would result in an increase in the use of the existing sub-standard access with consequent danger to road users and pedestrians, contrary to policy GDP1d of the Wrexham Unitary Development Plan. ______Page No 16

CONSULTATIONS

Offa C Council: No objections Local Member(s): Consulted 4/3/2013 Highways No objections Head of Assets and Economic Development: The parking on site is controlled via permits for tenants. There is also a pay and display area on the estate which can be used if the permit areas become too full. There are an adequate amount of spaces in this area which are rarely fully utilised. In view of this and the fact that customers will visit by appointment, we have no objections. Public protection No comments Site Notice: Expired 27/3/2013 Other Representations: Adjoining occupiers notified 6/3/2013 and 19/3/2013. 4 objections received, on grounds of: a. Loss of parking spaces for authorised users of spaces serving Croesnewydd Hall, by unauthorised parking by staff and customers. b. Detrimental impact on the daily business of the occupiers of the Hall. c. The application could lead to further changes of use which would have a negative impact on the surroundings of the listed building. d. Further publicity should be given to the application. Page No 18

REPORT OF THE HEAD OF COMMUNITY WELLBEING AND DEVELOPMENT – 7 May 2013

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS/ ISSUES

Background: The buildings here are in a variety of uses including health, office and retail use. There was a recent permission at unit 12 for a beauty salon (P/2012/0233) where the use was restricted to beauty salon only within class A1. The complex is owned and managed by WCBC.

Policy: The proposed hairdressers use is small-scale and would not harm the vitality of the town centre.

Parking: Parking is available by a permit system or as pay and display, with allocated mobility spaces. The proposed use is unlikely to place significant pressure upon existing parking in the area. The site is close to the hospitals and a hotel and is accessible by public transport. There is opportunity for linked trips in association with adjoining uses. The building has an access ramp with easy access to car parks. On this basis I agree with the assessment by the Highway authority that the proposal is acceptable on parking grounds subject to limitation of the use to a hairdressers only.

Built Conservation: The building is close to the listed Hall and is regarded as being listed. There are no issues as no alterations are proposed to the interior or exterior and therefore the character of the building is preserved.

Publicity: A site notice was displayed close to the entrance to the site from Croesnewydd Road and adjoining occupiers were notified. Following contact from a tenant of the Hall, further consultation letters were sent out to the tenants of Croesnewydd Hall based on contact details supplied by the Head of Assets and Economic Development. Mention has been made of the limited consultation periods allowed by these forms of publicity, but this is not a significant point as all comments received on the application prior to the meeting date will be reported to committee. It should also be noted that the consultations were undertaken in accordance with the Welsh Government Publicity Regulations for planning applications.

Conclusion: The proposal is considered to be acceptable subject to limitation of the use to a hairdressers/ beauty salon only.

RECOMMENDATION: That permission be GRANTED

CONDITION(S)

1. The development hereby permitted shall be commenced before the expiry of five years from the date of this permission. 2. The development shall only be carried out in strict accordance with the details shown on the approved drawing(s) dated 28 February 2013 and as contained within the application documentation. 3. The premises shall be used for a hairdressers/beauty salon purpose only and shall not be used for any other purposes including any other use Page No 19

REPORT OF THE HEAD OF COMMUNITY WELLBEING AND DEVELOPMENT – 7 May 2013 within Class 1 of the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987 (or any statutory instrument revoking and re-enacting that Order with or without amendment).

REASON(S)

1. To comply with Section 91(3) of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1990. 2. To ensure that the development fully complies with the appropriate policies and standards. 3. The unrestricted use of the premises for any other purpose within Class A1 would prejudice the amenities of occupiers of nearby premises and cause parking problems.

THE SITE

The bungalow is at the west end of Saxon Road, backing onto an area of public open space.

PROPOSAL

As above. Page No 21

REPORT OF THE HEAD OF COMMUNITY WELLBEING AND DEVELOPMENT – 7 May 2013

The conservatory measures 6.8 metres wide and 3.3 metres deep, and has a ridged roof with a ridge height of 3.1 metres and an eaves height of 2.1 metres.

RELEVANT HISTORY

None.

DEVELOPMENT PLAN

The site within the settlement limits. Policy GDP1 of UDP is relevant, together with LPGN 20 extensions and 21 space around dwellings.

CONSULTATIONS

Community Council: No objections Local Member(s): Consulted 7/3/2013 Welsh Water Comments Site Notice: Expired 9/4/2013 Other Representations: Adjoining occupiers notified 8/3/2013. 1 objection received, on grounds of: a. Conservatory is not in scale or in-keeping with the semi detached bungalows and is far too large. b. Reduction in rear garden area. c. Loss of daylight to rear lounge window and rear patio. d. Concerns regarding impact on site drainage and Party Wall act

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS/ ISSUES

Need for planning permission: The conservatory is within the normal allowance for permitted development (at 57m3) but requires permission as the dwelling has a detached garage close by.

Residential amenity: There is a 1.8 metre high screen fence between the two bungalows, which ensures that privacy will be maintained. The conservatory is on the south side of the adjoining property, and there would be some loss of daylight to the living room patio door from the conservatory. However the proposal complies with the BRE test in terms of the vertical test. Adequate rear garden area will be available after the conservatory is built. Whilst the conservatory is relatively large it is not visible from the public highway and will not visually over-dominate the neighbouring dwelling.

Other issues: Drainage and the Party Wall Act are matters for the applicant’s consideration and notes to this effect will be attached to any permission. Page No 22

REPORT OF THE HEAD OF COMMUNITY WELLBEING AND DEVELOPMENT – 7 May 2013

Conclusion: The proposal is considered to be acceptable under the terms of adopted polices and guidance.

RECOMMENDATION: That permission be GRANTED

CONDITION(S)

REASON(S)

1. To comply with Section 91(3) of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1990. 2. To ensure that the development fully complies with the appropriate policies and standards.

The permission hereby granted does not authorise encroachment upon, or interference with, the adjoining property.

The proposed development lies within an area which could be subject to current coal mining or hazards resulting from past coal mining. Such hazards may currently exist, be caused as a result of the proposed development, or occur at some time in the future. These hazards include:

· Collapse of shallow coal mine workings. · Collapse of, or risk of entry into, mine entries (shafts and adits). · Gas emissions from coal mines including methane and carbon dioxide. · Spontaneous combustion or ignition of coal which may lead to underground heatings and production of carbon monoxide. · Transmission of gases into adjacent properties from underground sources through ground fractures. · Coal mining subsidence. · Water emissions from coal mine workings.

Applicants must take account of these hazards which could affect stability, health & safety, or cause adverse environmental impacts during the carrying out their proposals and must seek specialist advice where required. Additional hazards or stability issues may arise from development on or adjacent to restored opencast sites or quarries and former colliery spoil tips.

Page No 23

REPORT OF THE HEAD OF COMMUNITY WELLBEING AND DEVELOPMENT – 7 May 2013

Potential hazards or impacts may not necessarily be confined to the development site, and Applicants must take advice and introduce appropriate measures to address risks both within and beyond the development site. As an example the stabilisation of shallow coal workings by grouting may affect, block or divert underground pathways for water or gas.

In coal mining areas there is the potential for existing property and new development to be affected by mine gases, and this must be considered by each developer. Gas prevention measures must be adopted during construction where there is such a risk. The investigation of sites through drilling alone has the potential to displace underground gases or in certain situations may create carbon monoxide where air flush drilling is adopted.

Any intrusive activities which intersect, disturb or enter any coal seams, coal mine workings or coal mine entries (shafts and adits) require the prior written permission of the Coal Authority. Such activities could include site investigation boreholes, digging of foundations, piling activities, other ground works and any subsequent treatment of coal mine workings and coal mine entries for ground stability purposes.

Failure to obtain Coal Authority permission for such activities is trespass, with the potential for court action. In the interests of public safety the Coal Authority is concerned that risks specific to the nature of coal and coal mine workings are identified and mitigated.

The above advice applies to the site of your proposal and the surrounding vicinity. You must obtain property specific summary information on any past, current and proposed surface and underground coal mining activity, and other ground stability information in order to make an assessment of the risks. This can be obtained from The Coal Authority's Property Search Service on 0845 762 6848 or at www.groundstability.com

You are advised that building work which involves work on an existing wall shared with another property, building on the boundary with a neighbouring property or excavating near a neighbouring building may require the separate consent of the neighbour under the provisions of the Party Wall Act. If you require further information or advice please contact the Building Control Section on 01978 292050.

You are advised that the planning permission hereby granted does not authorise any building over, diversion, connection or other interference with any sewer, public or private, which crosses the site. You are advised to contact Welsh Water, PO Box 10, Treharris, CF46 6XZ (Tel: 01443 331155) in this regard, prior to undertaking any groundwork in connection with the development. Should you be required to depart from the details hereby approved, you should contact the Council's planning department to seek further advice with regard to the submission of amended plans and / or a new planning application. ______Page No 24

CONSULTATIONS

Community Council: Consulted 13.03.2013 Local Member: Notified 13.03.2013 Site Notice: Expired 04.11.2013 Highways: Requires additional information to address the location of the totem sign and highway visibility from the site. Other Representations: 12 neighbouring occupiers notified. 1 representation received raising the following points:  Concerns about additional light pollution;  The garage opening times have increased since planning permission was granted for the filling station and with this the increase in light levels

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS/ISSUES

Amenity: The proposals seek to replace existing signage at the filling station. A photograph of the existing filling station frontage is shown below. Page No 26

REPORT OF THE HEAD OF COMMUNITY WELLBEING AND DEVELOPMENT – 7 May 2013

Existing filling station

I do not consider that the current proposals will detrimentally increase the luminance levels over and above that previously approved in 2007 and 2009. This proposed corporate rebrand of the site also includes a new full length totem sign. It would feature an additional 3m2 of panelling than the existing approved totem.

Advertisement consent was refused in 2008 and dismissed at appeal for a 5.5m by 1.7m totem sign on the basis of harm to public safety and the visual impact of the proposed sign. A subsequent application for a flag style sign with a reduced façade was later approved and implemented (see photo above). The proposed totem subject to this latest application is 0.5m taller at a slightly reduced width than that sign refused consent in 2008. However, I consider that its massing is comparable and ultimately would result in a dominant feature within an otherwise commercially featureless street scene

Public safety: The totem dismissed as part of the previous appeal (referred to above) was also dismissed on the grounds of the harm to public safety due to its position within the vehicular and pedestrian visibility splay for the forecourt. The application documentation does not clearly demonstrate the exact position of the proposed totem, therefore it is not clear as to whether it would harm highway visibility from the site. I have sought confirmation from the applicant on this matter, but have yet to receive a response. I therefore consider the totem sign is unacceptable.

Conclusion: I consider that the proposed replacement signage is unlikely to cause additional harm to the amenity of the neighbouring occupiers by way of additional luminance levels. However the totem sign is unacceptable on the Page No 27

REPORT OF THE HEAD OF COMMUNITY WELLBEING AND DEVELOPMENT – 7 May 2013 grounds of visual impact and the impact of public safety by virtue of the substandard information. I therefore recommend a split decision

RECOMMENDATION A

In respect of signs labelled A,B,C,D, Spreader boxes (4 no.) and Pump ID flags (4 no.) as shown as part of the application detail for planning application P/2013/0179, that advertisement consent be GRANTED subject to the following conditions:

CONDITION(S)

1. Any advertisements displayed, and any site used for the display of advertisements, shall be maintained in a clean and tidy condition to the reasonable satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority. 2. Any structure or hoarding erected or used principally for the purpose of displaying advertisements shall be maintained in a safe condition. 3. Where an advertisement is required under these Regulations to be removed, the removal shall be carried out to the reasonable satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority. 4. No advertisement is to be displayed without the permission of the owner of the site or any other person with an interest in the site entitled to grant such permission. 5. No advertisement shall be sited or displayed so as to obscure, or hinder the ready interpretation of, any road traffic sign, railway signal or aid to navigation by water or air, or so as otherwise to render hazardous the use of any highway, railway, waterway or aerodrome (civil or military). 6. The luminance levels of the signage hereby approved shall be maintained strictly in accordance with the details as contained in the approved application documentation. 7. No light source to any sign(s) hereby granted consent shall be directly visible to drivers of motor vehicles using the adjacent highway.

REASON(S)

1. To comply with the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 1992. 2. To comply with the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 1992. 3. To comply with the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 1992. 4. To comply with the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 1992. 5.

REPORT OF THE HEAD OF COMMUNITY WELLBEING AND DEVELOPMENT – 7 May 2013

RECOMMENDATION B

In respect of the sign labelled Flag Sign (1 no.) as shown as part of the application detail for planning application P/2013/0179, that advertisement consent be REFUSED for the following reasons:

REASON(S)

1. The application does not provide sufficient information to determine the exact position of the Flag Sign and as such it is not possible to determine whether its positioning would have a detrimental effect on visibility to the south for vehicles exiting the site. As such the proposal would represent a danger to highway users and pedestrians and would be contrary to policy GDP1(d) of the Wrexham unitary Development Plan. 2. The flag sign, by virtue of its scale has an over dominant impact upon the primarily residential road as such causing detriment to the character of the street scene and the general amenities of the area. The proposal is therefore contrary to policy GDP1(a) of the Wrexham Unitary Development Plan. ______Page No 29

Site Notice: Expired 10.4.13 Other Representations: 1 objection expressing the following concerns: - garage will be directly opposite kitchen and bedroom window blocking light and a view; - will the roof be as high as others in the street or will it be a flat roof?; - having taken up space on the drive where will the van and cars they have be parked?.

Page No 31

REPORT OF THE HEAD OF COMMUNITY WELLBEING AND DEVELOPMENT – 7 May 2013

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

Amenity: The garage will not have a significant impact upon the standard of amenity afforded to the occupiers of no.2 Pentre Court due to the fact that the latter’s garage lies in between the proposed development and windows serving habitable rooms in that property.

The property immediately to the rear, no. 1 Henblas Court, is over 22 metres from the proposed garage. The garage is single storey and will not prove overbearing or result in loss of light to habitable rooms.

There is no right to a view across private land.

Design: The garage will have a pitched roof, be of a similar design to the detached garages of nearby properties and in keeping with the appearance of the dwelling. It will be set back 3 metres behind the front elevation of the dwelling and will not be unduly prominent in the wider street scene.

Parking: Whilst the garage has clearly been designed to accommodate a vehicle LPG16 advises that garages do not count towards on-site parking provision. Accordingly the development will reduce the number of off-street parking spaces from 3 to 2.

The garage only requires planning permission because the highest part of the roof exceeds 4 metres in height. Permitted development rights provide the applicant with a credible fallback position of being able to build a garage with a flat or shallower pitched roof without the need to obtain planning permission. In light of this the loss of a single parking space would not be a sustainable reason for refusal. Furthermore the appearance of the proposed garage is likely to be preferable to one with a flat or shallow pitched roof.

Conclusion: The development accords with policy GDP1.

RECOMMENDATION: That permission be GRANTED

CONDITION(S)

1. The development hereby permitted shall be commenced before the expiry of five years from the date of this permission. 2. No facing or roofing materials shall be used other than those detailed on the application form and within the approved application documentation. 3. No development shall take place until a scheme of gas protection measures, including specification details, installation, inspection and validation details, has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The development shall thereafter be carried out in strict accordance with the details as approved. 4. The development shall not be used until a Verification Report has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority that Page No 32

REPORT OF THE HEAD OF COMMUNITY WELLBEING AND DEVELOPMENT – 7 May 2013 demonstrates that the gas protection measures required by condition no. 2 have been fully implemented.

REASON(S)

1. To comply with Section 91(3) of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1990. 2. To ensure a satisfactory standard of appearance of the development in the interests of the visual amenities of the area. 3. In the interests of the amenities of the future occupants of the buildings 4. In the interests of the amenities of the future occupants of the buildings.

NOTE(S) TO APPLICANT

You should ensure that any difference between the plans approved under the Town and Country Planning Acts and under the Building Regulations is resolved prior to commencement of development, by formal submission of amended plans.

Proposed extension

PROPOSAL

Planning permission is sought to erect a two storey extension to the eastern elevation of the dwelling above an existing single storey garage. The extension would project from the side elevation of the dwelling by 4 metres retaining the same line as the front and rear elevation. The existing ridge line Page No 35

REPORT OF THE HEAD OF COMMUNITY WELLBEING AND DEVELOPMENT – 7 May 2013 and roof plan would also be carried through into the proposed extension with an additional dormer to the front elevation.

HISTORY

There is no planning history relevant to this proposal.

DEVELOPMENT PLAN

The site is within settlement and within a C2 flood zone as defined by TAN15. Policies PS2, GDP1, EC6, EC12 and T8 are relevant. Supplementary guidance is contained in Local Planning Guidance Notes 16 – Parking Standards and 20 – House Extensions.

CONSULTATIONS

Community Council: Consulted 19.03.2013 Local Member: Notified 19.03.2013 Site Notice: Expired 11.04.2013 Welsh Water: Advice note regarded unrecorded public sewers required. Other Representations: Two neighbouring occupiers notified. 1 representation received raising the following points:  The extension will result in a significant loss of daylight or sunlight to the neighbouring dwelling; and  The extension could have a detrimental character effect due to its scale, massing and height.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS/ISSUES

Design and amenity: The property is unique in that the front and rear elevations are in close proximity to a public viewpoint. Burton Road wraps around the southern and northern property boundaries. As such the dwelling is widely visible as would be the proposed extension. The existing dwelling is of a simple design, with accommodation in the roof section to the northern elevation (front) with a standard eaves height to the southern elevation (rear). I am satisfied that whilst the extension will be widely visible, its sympathetic design will not harm the surrounding character and will make a positive contribution to the street scene.

The neighbouring dwelling to the east (Cam-yr-Alyn Lodge) is a bungalow and the dwelling most affected by the proposal. The main issue to consider is the impact upon this dwelling by way of loss of natural daylight to a conservatory and amenity space. The conservatory is located to the south western elevation of the dwelling with a glazed elevation facing the property boundary. Page No 36

REPORT OF THE HEAD OF COMMUNITY WELLBEING AND DEVELOPMENT – 7 May 2013

It is acknowledged that the proposed extension will result in a blank two storey elevation within close proximity to the boundary of this property (approximately 0.5m). However, consideration must be given to the southern orientation of the neighbouring conservatory utilising the midday and evening sunlight and its predominantly glazed elevations and roof. The applicant has also submitted a shadow analysis of the scheme for a period in April and June. Given the layout of the proposed extension and the neighbouring property, I do not consider that the adopted BRE daylight test can be applied in this instance. I am satisfied that the impact upon daylight levels will be acceptable.

The remaining factor is the potential over dominance of the extension. The neighbouring conservatory has a facing glazed elevation towards the boundary where the extension is proposed. However, the provision of daylight or outlook directly across a boundary in this manner should not be assumed. Nevertheless, the affected conservatory is fully glazed on all elevations including its roof therefore maximising available daylight provision. Subject to a condition preventing additional windows in the eastern elevation of the proposed extension I consider that the impact of the extension upon the amenity of the neighbouring occupiers is acceptable.

Highways and parking: The proposals would result in the provision of a 4 bedroom dwelling with the loss of the existing garage. The documentation shows three vehicular spaces available which would accord with the requirements of LPG16. A condition to secure the future retention of this parking layout will be required.

Other matters: The site lies within the defined C2 flood zone of the River Alyn, which is an area without significant flood defence infrastructure. National planning policy states that the location of such works to dwellings do not need to be justified or the consequences assessed if there is no evident direct impact upon flood defences, flood flows or storage capacity.

Development within the flood plain of a tributary of the River Dee could potentially harm the integrity of this watercourse which is an internationally significant conservation site (SAC). I do not consider that the works to the dwelling would harm the integrity of this designated site, subject to construction phase reasonable avoidance measures. A suitable condition could be attached to any approval.

Conclusion: I am satisfied that the proposal will not have an adverse impact upon the neighbouring occupiers of the site or the character of the street scene. I am also satisfied that the proposal is acceptable in terms of any flood risk and ecological integrity of the neighbouring watercourse. I recommend accordingly.

RECOMMENDATION: That permission be GRANTED

CONDITION(S)

1. The development hereby permitted shall be commenced before the expiry of five years from the date of this permission. 2. No facing or roofing materials shall be used other than materials matching those used on the existing building. 3. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 (or any order revoking, re- enacting that Order with or without modification), no windows or other openings shall be inserted in any elevation of the extension facing Cam yr Alyn Lodge. 4. The vehicular parking and turning areas as shown on approved drawing(s) No(s). 6899/L(9)01 shall be fully laid out, surfaced and drained prior to first use of the development. These areas shall thereafter be permanently retained and kept free of any obstruction, and made available solely for the parking and turning of vehicles at all times. 5. No development shall commence on site until details of a proposed scheme of Reasonable Avoidance Measures (RAMs) have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall include details of construction phase measures to protect the adjoining watercourse and include the following:- a) Details of storage locations of plant, machinery and materials; b) Details of mixing locations of materials; c) Details of the storage of any fuel and / or lubrication oils on site; d) Details of measures to be employed to prevent due pollution of the adjoining watercourse via surface water from the site. The development shall be carried out in strict accordance with the RAMs as are approved.

REASON(S)

1. To comply with Section 91(3) of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1990. 2. To ensure a satisfactory standard of appearance of the development in the interests of the visual amenities of the area. 3. To protect the amenities of the occupiers of nearby properties. 4. To provide for the parking and turning of vehicles clear of the highway and to ensure that reversing by vehicles into or from the highway is rendered unnecessary in the interest of traffic safety. 5. To protect habitats which would otherwise potentially be damaged by the development hereby permitted.

PROPOSAL

The proposal consists of a two storey extension of the existing dwelling to its southern elevation to facilitate a four bed property and the erection of a detached garage. The proposal also consists of the change of use of a strip of land to the south of the site, which is approximately 3.8 metres wide, to a residential use to facilitate these works along with a minor change to the position of the existing vehicular access. The application is reported before the Planning Committee as the applicant is a relative of the ward Local Member.

CONSULTATIONS

Community Council: Members expressed concern about the public right of way and the effect that approving this scheme would have on previous proposals to develop the adjoining land Local Member: Has declared a personal and prejudicial interest in the application. Site Notice: Expired 17.04.2013 Page No 42

REPORT OF THE HEAD OF COMMUNITY WELLBEING AND DEVELOPMENT – 7 May 2013

Press Notice: Expired 26.04.2013 Highways: Notified 27.03.2013 PRoW: Proposal would impact upon a right of way. No development to commence until a diversion order has been made and confirmed. Other Representations: 2 neighbouring occupiers notified

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS/ISSUES

Policy: Specific guidance relating to the extension of domestic garden boundaries in open countryside locations is contained within LPG13. Garden extensions will normally only be permitted where the overall character and appearance of the rural landscape will not be harmed and where a specific planning constraint can be overcome, which can include an existing substandard access, or inadequate off street parking provision. LPG13 also states that extensions to dwellings in such locations will only be permitted where their scale does not cause harm to the openness of such a location, although in general they should not be more than a third of the size of the dwelling – unless there are positive design merits for the scheme.

Design and Visual Impact: The existing dwelling is located within a sparse linear group of properties along Holt Road. The extensions as proposed are not considered to cause harm to the visual character of the dwelling and they represent a floor increase of about 26% (minus the new garage), and in general they retain appearance and original shape of the original house, using sympathetic materials. The new garage is now detached, and its scale is proportional to the needs of the dwelling, and it will appear subsidiary to the main house, again not resulting in an over dominating structure within the streetscene. The new roof for the garage will have gable roof, and this is improvement on the existing flat roof garage, and the pitch will follow the roof pitch of the existing house. A condition requiring the definition of the southern boundary will be a requirement of any approval.

Garden Extension: The erection of the proposed garage has resulted in the need to extend the garden area. I consider that this incursion into the adjoining parcel of land is minimal, retaining a sufficient distance between the resulting boundary and that of the Village Hall. The incursion of the footprint of the garage into this space also is not considered to erode the special character of this open countryside location as it would be closely associated within the existing dwelling.

The proposals also seek to alter the position of the vehicular access to facilitate a larger parking area. Whilst the existing access visibility splay is adequate, this requires cooperation from the applicant to maintain the height of the adjoining hedgerow. The proposed resulting parking area would not conform to standard parking and turning requirements as identified in LPG21. However, I do consider that there will be a general improvement over the existing situation which will lead to an overall highway safety improvement. There is currently limited opportunity for a vehicle to enter into the site and Page No 43

REPORT OF THE HEAD OF COMMUNITY WELLBEING AND DEVELOPMENT – 7 May 2013 sufficiently turn. The proposed layout will allow a vehicle to turn within the site and subject to an appropriate condition to limit the height of the hedge in either direction of the access sufficient visibility can be achieved. I consider that these improvements justify this small incursion into the open countryside.

Other matters: A public right of way crosses the application site, of which this proposal would affect. Development would only be able to commence if the applicant were to enter into an agreement to divert the right of way. I consider that there is a reasonable opportunity to do so and as such a note to applicant to this effect will be required.

The Community Council have expressed concern about what effect this proposal would have on any future proposals to develop the adjoining land to the south. Outline planning permission was refused in 2009 and subsequently dismissed at appeal for two dwellings. The appeal was dismiss as the inspector considered that the development would not constitute ‘infill development’ because the land in question did not form a well developed built frontage. I do not consider that this small 3.8 metre incursion into a 66 metre gap will close this gap as to undermine this previous conclusion.

Conclusion: I consider that these proposals are acceptable in line with policy and guidance relating to this open countryside location and the extension to the boundary can be justified. I recommend accordingly.

RECOMMENDATION: That permission be GRANTED

CONDITION(S)

1. The development hereby permitted shall be commenced before the expiry of five years from the date of this permission. 2. No facing or roofing materials shall be used other than materials matching those used on the existing building. 3.

REPORT OF THE HEAD OF COMMUNITY WELLBEING AND DEVELOPMENT – 7 May 2013

The proposal will result in a partial obstruction of a public right of way. The applicant is advised that a public path order under section 257 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 will be required before development may commence. The footpath will need to be kept open and unobstructed until the statutory procedures authorising the stopping up or diversion of the section of footpath affected by the development has been completed.

You are advised that the granting of planning permission for the development does not automatically confirm that an order made under section 257 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 will be confirmed.

A licence should be obtained (as required by section 184 of the Highways Act 1980) from the Highway Authority in order to lower the kerbline and cross the footpath at the new access position.

The applicant will also need to reinstate a section of dropped kerb footway to full height footway construction fronting the existing dwelling (Hillview) and should form part of this consent application.

Further guidance can be obtained from the Highways Department of Wrexham County Borough Council on telephone 01978 729690. ______Page No 46

PROPOSAL

The proposal is made to remove a 1 metre wide section of the existing wall which forms the boundary of the property with the highway Page No 47

REPORT OF THE HEAD OF COMMUNITY WELLBEING AND DEVELOPMENT – 7 May 2013

HISTORY

P/2011/0673 Replacement windows, door and re-instatement of stone sills to front elevation. Granted 10.11.2011

DEVELOPMENT PLAN

The site is within settlement and within the Salisbury Park Conservation Area. Polices PS2, GDP1, EC7 and T8 are relevant. The Salisbury Park Conservation Area Character Appraisal and Management Plan is also relevant.

CONSULTATIONS

Community Council: No objection subject to the reinstatement of the pillars. If a pillar is not available, a new pillar similar to those in the conservation area should be used. Local Member: Notified 28.03.2013 Site Expired: 24.04.2013 WACS: Consulted 04.04.2013 Other Representations: 6 neighbouring occupiers notified.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS/ISSUES

Character of Conservation Area: The property is located within the Salisbury Park Conservation Area and forms part of a group of buildings of significant values; their impressive and well executed detailing, grouping and consistent boundary treatments gives them a distinct presence within the Conservation Area.

I have no objections to the removal of part of the brick boundary to create a slightly wider access. The entrance has been altered and increased in size previously with the original gate piers presumably removed. Therefore on balance I do not consider the minor enlargement to be detrimental to the character of the Conservation Area nor detract from the value of the group of the buildings. The use of a traditional lime and sand mortar should be conditioned for approval prior to any works of making good. It is likely that the access opening once featured a pier, however this is not currently in situ. The council cannot insist that the pier is reintroduced as part of this development.

REPORT OF THE HEAD OF COMMUNITY WELLBEING AND DEVELOPMENT – 7 May 2013

Existing access

Conclusion: I am satisfied that this proposal will seek to preserve the character of the conservation area and as such I recommend accordingly.

RECOMMENDATION: That permission be GRANTED

CONDITION(S)

1. The development hereby permitted shall be commenced before the expiry of five years from the date of this permission. 2. All re-pointing works shall be carried out using a lime based mortar only. The Council's Conservation Officer shall be given 5 days notice in writing of a meeting on site to approve the mix and finish. Works shall only be carried out in strict accordance with such details as are approved.

REASON(S)

1. To comply with Section 91(3) of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1990. 2. To ensure the works reflect the character and appearance of the building.
