P/2014/0622 Browns Coaches Site, Garth, Llangammarch Wells, Powys Planning, Taxi Licensing and Rights of Way Committee Report Application No: P/2014/0622 Grid Ref: 297883.56 250491.37 Community Cilmery Community Council Valid Date: Officer: Council: 18/06/2014 Dunya Fourie Applicant: Mr & Mrs N W Brown, Roy Brown Coaches, Tynrhoel, Llanfaredd, Builth Wells, Powys, LD2 3TE Location: Browns Coaches Site, Garth, Llangammarch Wells, Powys, LD4 4BA Proposal: Full: Change of use from garage to use class B2 (general industrial) and B8 (storage and distribution) including a new roof and associated works Application Application for Full Planning Permission Type: Reason for Committee Report Called in by County Councillor. Site Location and Description The application site is located in the open countryside and comprises the former garage site which adjoins the A483 (Garth to Cilmery) road. The site area incorporates the entire garage frontage, the storage area to the north and east of the garage does not form part of this application. A single residential dwelling is located to the west of the application site. This is a full application seeking consent for the change of use of the former garage/café site to general industrial and storage/distribution. The change of use comprises erection of a new garage roof to encompass the existing garage and adjoining ad hoc structures, alteration of the internal layout to create 7 work units and replace the glazed areas along the front of the building with roller shutter doors. The overall height of the building with the new roof would be approximately 5.8m, which is slightly lower than highest point of the existing roof structure. The overall length of the building remains unchanged. The proposed materials comprise corrugated slate blue/grey insulated box profile steel sheet clad roof and upper elevation, steel roller shutter doors, and PVC rainwater goods. The existing canopy which covers the former petrol forecourt is to remain. Consultee Response Cilmery Community Council 1 We are not objecting to this application but have few reservations about the execution of the proposals as per comments below. We want the soft planting in front of the erected fence to be carried out as per the previous appliation and the present proposed planting to be carried out to a high standard. We insist that all the old vehicles be removed from the frontage area as we feel they give a poor impression of our beautiful area to passing traffic. We also feel that the canopy in front of the present garage should be removed not only for safety reasons but it is an eyesore and will demean the present application. There is no mention of this dilapidated canopy in the present application. Because of the above reasons we are asking that this application goes before the full planning committee and not delegated to an individual plannig offier and that our comments/requests are recorded. Building Regulations E mail of 26 June 2014 Building Regulations approval will be required for this proposal Powys Highways Letter of 24 June 2014 Powys County Council as Highways Authority do not wish to comment on this application as the access is onto a trunk road which comes under the jurisdiction of the Welsh Government. Cllr David Price E mail of 6 July 2014 In line with planning protocol, I wish to call this application to Committee for determination. My reason for doing so is due to public interest. This site as a storage area for buses, has resulted in communication from local residents (to myself and Cilmeri Community Council) complaining about its unsightly natures. Powys Environmental Health E mail of 11 February 2015 It is not for us to design noise reduction measures. This is the clients responsibility to ensure that the development complies with BS4142. The two nearest properties are approx 100-150m away from the proposed development. Noise Control Scheme Before the use hereby permitted begins, a scheme for the installation of equipment to control the emission of noise from the premises shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority and the approved scheme shall be implemented. All equipment installed as part of the scheme shall thereafter be operated and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. 2 Reason: To protect the amenity of local residents from excessive noise. BS4142 2014 Methods for rating and assessing industrial and commercial sound in residential areas. E mail of 25 June 2014 With regards to the above application this department has no objections. Powys Contaminated Land Letter of 19 March 2015 The following informant should be applied to this development. Potential Contamination informant The development site is identified as potential contaminated land due to its former use as a petrol filling station/garage and adjoining a landfill. This informant is provided on the understanding that no ground work what so ever will take place. The applicant should be aware that there are potentially significant liabilities associated with this site. Due to the potential for contamination issues as a result of this historical industrial use, should any made ground and/or contamination be identified during the works it would be prudent to investigate the potential for such contamination and inform the Councils Senior Contaminated Land Officer immediately. Letter received 7 July 2014 It is noted that the proposed development is situated on land indicated as being a former petrol filling station, garage (identified on historic Ordinance Survey Maps) which has the ptoential to cause contamination. I have reviewed the submitted desk study but do not consider that it has adequately considered both on and off site receptors in sufficient detail or sufficiently to consider that risks will be acceptable. If the report is amended to reflect these risks I am happy to recommend full conditions but this would likely reuqire additional intrusive investigations. Therefore, on the basis of the submitted document, the application should be refused until such time as the applicant demonstrates that potentially signification liabilites have been assessed and understood. In summary, there are three aspects to this objection. These are that: We consider the level of risk posed by this poropsal to be unacceptable. The application fails to give adequate assurance that the risk of pollution are understood and that measures for dealign with them have been devised. Therefore, under Planning Policy for Wales (s.13.7 on), the application should not be determined until infomration is provided to the satisfaction fo the Local Plannign Authority that the risk to human health and controlled waters has been fullyundersood and can be addressed through appropriate measures. Consultation with Natural Resources Wales must be undertaken. 3 Welsh Government Highways Letter of 6 October 2014 I refer to your consultation of 20 June 2014 regarding the above application and advise that the Welsh Government as highway authority for the A483 trunk road does not issue a direction in respect to this application. E mail of 2 September 2014 Further to the letter dated 4th July 2014 from the Welsh Government requesting further information regarding traffic movements etc. We comment as follows:- i) Details of traffic movements to and from the site in accordance with the permitted use, which should incorporate any other business or residential properties using the accesses. The site has been dormant for many years with only the domestic dwelling generating vehicular movements. The previous permitted use of a petrol service station, garage and café would have generated in excess of 300 vehicular movements per day plus the vehicular movements to and from the domestic dwelling which uses the same access. ii) Details of proposed traffic movements to and from the site in accordance with the proposed change of use which incorporates any other business or residential properties utilising the access. The anticipated change of use will generate approximately 4 vehicle movements to day for each visit equating to 28 plus approximately 1 delivery vehicle per week for each unit. The existing coach store has limited movements but anticipate 1 vehicular movement per week. The existing dwelling will generate approximately 4 vehicle movements per day. The total vehicular movement per day will be much reduced to that of the permitted existing use. iii) Details of parking spaces for vehicles in relation to the proposed change of use. As indicated on the submitted layout plan, 16 car parking spaces are shown for use by the units proposed. Room is also provided to the front of the units for parking and offloading of delivery vehicles. The ratio of parking being two parking spaces for each proposed unit with two spaces for visitor parking, some of which will be allocated as disabled parking. Letter of 4 July 2014 I refer to your consultation of 20 June 2014 regarding the above application and advise that the Welsh Government as highway authority for the A483 trunk road directs that the application remains pending until such time as the information below is provided: Details of existing traffic movements to and from the site in accordance with the permitted use, which should incorporate any other businesses or residential properties utilizing the accesses. Details of proposed traffic movements to and from the site in accordance with the proposed change of use, which should again incorporate any other businesses or residential properties utilizing the accesses. 4 Details of parking spaces for vehicles in relation to the proposed change of use. Building Control E mail of 26 June 2014 Building Regulations approval will be required for this proposal. Natural Resource Wales Letter of 5 November 2015 Natural Resources Wales does not object to the proposal for the following reason: The proposal is not likely to adversely affect protected sites nor European protected species.
