No. 9/2007/0655/OM Applicant: Agent: Redrow Homes Midlands Ltd Robert Barber Kinsall Green Pegasus Planning Group Wilnecote 3 Pioneer Court Tamworth Chivers Way Histon Proposal: Outline application (all matters reserved except for means of access) for the erection of 145 dwellings on Land off Stenson Road Stenson Derby Ward: STENSON Valid Date: 04/06/2007 Reason for committee determination The proposal is referred to Committee because it is a major application with more than 2 objections. Site Description The site is located to the west of Stenson Road and south of Grovebury Drive on the south western urban fringe of Derby. The site adjoins existing residential development to the north and east. There is a railway line and Stenson Road to the south east and open farmland to the west. It is made up of two fields, separated by a hedge and associated trees. A wet ditch lies alongside the central hedgerow and there is a seasonally wet depression it the land to the eastern part of the site. Around the perimeter there are further hedgerows and various trees. As Stenson Road passes over the railway line it is single lane width, controlled by traffic lights on shuttle working. Stenson Road is the main north-south route linking Stenson Fields to the A5111 ring road and Derby City centre. Following the Council’s Strategic Flood Risk Assessment more than half the site is identified as flood Risk Zone 3b (functional flood plain, high probability of flooding). Proposal The application is in outline and proposes about 145 dwellings. Vehicular access would be gained through the existing development to the east, Primula Way.

The application was submitted in 2007, at which time the conjoined inquiry into major housing sites was underway. It was then held in abeyance pending preparation of the Core Strategies that were to address the housing needs of the Derby Strategic Housing Market Area in parallel with the East Midlands Regional Plan. In addition changes to the Environment Agency’s identified flood risk zones required further technical assessment of the changes. The application was updated in March 2011 and is accompanied by Indicative Masterplan, Design and Access Statement, Flood Risk Assessment, Noise Assessment, Archaeological Assessment, Transport Assessment, Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment, Planning Statement and Ecology Report. The applications also includes a scheme for flood alleviation that would not only reduce the risk of flood to the application site but also to existing property in the locality. Applicants’ supporting information The applicant’s assessment of the proposal is: • The site is available for development and in comparison to both brownfield and other Greenfield sites, it can be developed without the need for major infrastructure improvements. The access requirements have already been established. • The site is immediately available for development and thus deliverable. • Subject to satisfactory completion of the Section 106 Agreement and discharge of conditions, it is anticipated that development could be commenced with 12 months of permission being granted. • The lack of a five year housing land supply and the close relationship of the site to the existing built up area and its services and facilities make it very suitable for development.
