Chair Date Planning Committee Tuesday, 14 July 2020 Agenda Page 5 Agenda Item 3a APPLICATION REPORT – 19/01113/OUTMAJ Validation Date: 25 November 2019 Ward: Chorley North East Type of Application: Outline Major Planning (with ES) Proposal: Outline application for the construction of up to 233 dwellings with all matters reserved, save for access (resubmission of approved application ref. 17/00714/OUTMAJ). Location: Land To The West Side Of Blackburn Road Chorley Case Officer: Mike Halsall Applicant: FI Real Estate Management Agent: Lichfields Consultation expiry: 1 January 2020 Decision due by: 30 September 2020 (Extension of time agreed) RECOMMENDATION 1. It is recommended that this application is approved subject to conditions and a section 106 agreement requiring an education contribution of £846,480.60. SITE DESCRIPTION 2. The application site is located within the settlement area of Chorley and forms part of a wider site allocated for a mixed use of housing and employment use in the Chorley Local Plan 2012 – 2026. 3. The application site comprises 7.05ha of land which lies to the north east of J8 of the M61. It is bounded by the A674 Millennium Way to the north and by the Leeds and Liverpool Canal to the west. Agricultural land lies both to the north and south of the site. 4. The application site comprises undeveloped grazing land which is bisected by two drainage ditches running from east to west close to the centre of the site, which drain into the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. 5. The site slopes gently up from the Leeds and Liverpool Canal towards the east, where it rises steeply on the eastern side of the side towards the Blackburn Road. 6. There is currently no vehicular access to the site, which is proposed to be formed via a priority junction with the A674 Millennium Way. 7. Outline planning permission was granted (ref: 17/00714/OUTMAJ) in October 2019 for 188 houses on this site. Outline planning permission was also granted in 2019 in respect of land to the south and south west of the application site as follows: Ref. 17/00713/OUTMAJ for employment floorspace; Ref. 17/00715/OUTMAJ for retail floorspace (Use Classes A1, A3, A4 & A5), employment floorspace (Use Class B1), hotel (Use Class C1), creche/nursery (Use Agenda Page 6 Agenda Item 3a Class D1) and provision of associated car parking, highways, landscaping, and infrastructure; and Ref. 17/00716/OUTMAJ for 100 houses. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT 8. The application is submitted in outline for access only with all other matters reserved for future approval. 9. The application proposes the erection of up to 233 houses. The application is accompanied by a land use and building heights parameters plan. There would be a minimum 10m wide landscape buffer strip along the western boundary of the site to the canal and the eastern boundary to Blackburn Road. 10. Illustrative masterplan and cross-sectional drawings have also been submitted alongside the application submission, which provides an example of how the site could be delivered. These show 233 dwellings located in estate roads either side off a central spine road which runs to a junction to the south of the site. The central spine road would provide access to the adjacent site which was approved under outline planning permission ref. 17/00714/OUTMAJ. The proposed dwellings are shown as being situated substantially lower than the existing dwellings on Blackburn Road. 11. Access to the site would be facilitated by a new priority junction on to the A674 Millennium Way to the north of the site. 12. The principal difference between this proposal and that approved under outline planning permission ref. 17/00714/OUTMAJ is that an additional 45 dwellings are proposed and there is less landscaping/open space proposed to facilitate this increase in proposed built development. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT 13. The previous outline planning application relating to this site (ref. 17/00714/OUTMAJ) was supported by an Environmental Statement [ES] (dated July 2017) which considered the environmental effects of the proposal in the context of a range of technical topics. In addition to application ref. 17/00714/OUTMAJ, the ES also considered proposals for three other developments within the immediate vicinity, assessing the cumulative impacts of the combined proposals. 14. The following technical topics were assessed within the ES: Socio-Economics; Landscape and Visual; Ecology and Nature Conservation; Archaeology and Heritage; Ground Conditions; Drainage and Flood Risk; Transport and Access; Air Quality and Dust; Noise and Vibration; and, Cumulative Effects. 15. A subsequent ES Addendum was submitted in February 2018 which addressed changes to the parameter plans and included a revised Transport Assessment. 16. The applicant has submitted an Environmental
