The main building fronts east to west with extensive landscaped gardens located in front of the eastern front elevation. To the rear (west) of the main building, there is an existing enclosure which currently accommodates a portacabin and two large polytunnels and playing fields beyond that. There is a car parking area to the north of the site and woodland to the south of the site. The main building is situated within a Housing Policy Area as designated in the adopted Sheffield Unitary Development Plan and is accessed from the end of Norwood Drive which is a residential street. The land surrounding the main building and therefore, the area of the enclosure falls within an Open Space Area as defined in the UDP. 9 Full planning permission is proposed for the erection of a one and two-storey extension to the training centre and refurbishment of the building including alterations to the main entrance. It is also proposed to demolish an existing wing of the present building. The intention is for the building to accommodate a Health and Well Being Training facility to deliver the Society, Health and Development Diploma for 14 – 19 year olds as well as improving current facilities for other diploma courses provided. RELEVANT PLANNING HISTORY Full planning permission was granted conditionally for the erection of a steel framed storage shed (application reference 09/01926/RG3) Temporary planning permission was granted conditionally for the siting of 2 mobile workshops and extension of existing palisade fence (application reference 04/03977/FUL) Planning permission for the erection of a shed (as amended by letter received 16.11.99) was granted (application reference 99/02980/FUL) Full planning permission was granted conditionally for the erection of 3 metres high palisade fence (application reference 97/01070/FUL) Full planning permission was granted conditionally for the erection of 3 greenhouses and 8 feet high security fence (resolution dated 11.02.91 under reg 4(1)) (application reference 91/00756/FUL) SUMMARY OF REPRESENTATIONS There has been 1 letter of representation received from local residents regarding the application commenting no objections to the building but concerned at the impact of the building on their lives in Norwood Drive for the following reasons; - Issues of site traffic as well as service and delivery vehicles using Norwood Drive which is a narrow residential road - Increase in size of building will mean increase in staff and pupils without any proposed increase in car parking arrangements and concern this will lead to increased on-street parking on Norwood Drive which already suffers from Northern General Hospital parking - Increase in vehicle movements - Increase in litter - Increase in anti-social behaviour - Requests improved alarm system which is properly patrolled to avoid nuisance PLANNING ASSESSMENT Principle of extension 10 The main building sits wholly within the Housing Policy Area of the adopted Sheffield Unitary Development Plan.
