Development Control and Enforcement Matters Change to the Order of the Agenda 1 The Chairman requested the Committee’s agreement to change the order of the agenda for the development and enforcement items as there were a number of applications which had members of the public registered to speak. The new order of the agenda would be: (i) 12/01352/FUL - Horsey Way Service Station, Whittlesey Road, Stanground, Peterborough (ii) 12/01340/FUL - Netherton Post Office, 5 Winslow Road, Netherton, Peterborough (iii) 12/01354/HHFUL – The Retreat, Leicester Road, Thornhaugh, Peterborough (iv) 12/00463/MMFUL – Thornhaugh Landfill Site, Leicester Road, Thornaugh, Peterborough (v) 12/01100/FIL – Peterborough Dairies, 3 John Wesley Road, Werrington, Peterborough (vi) 12/01008/MMFUL – Land to the West of Willow Hall Farm, Willow Hall Lane, Thorney, Peterborough (vii) 12/01458/R3FUL – Land at Newborough, North of the B1443 Bukehorn Road, East of Peterborough Road The Chairman announced that application 12/01314/FUL – Unity Hall, Northfield Road, Millfield, Peterborough, had been withdrawn. Resolved: To change the order of the agenda. 5.1 12/01314/FUL - Unity Hall, Northfield Road, Millfield, Peterborough This application had been withdrawn. 5.2 12/01352/FUL - Horsey Way Service Station, Whittlesey Road, Stanground, Peterborough The site was located at an existing petrol filling station on the northern side of Whittlesey Road (A605) and on the junction with Coneygree Road to the east. The surrounding character comprised the Fenman Public House to the east, two storey flatted development to the north, a detached residential dwelling to the west and a playing field on the opposite side of Whittlesey Road to the south. The site was bounded to the north and west by a 1.8m fence and mature conifer hedge to the west and mature trees to the north. The site contained a petrol forecourt area to the eastern side with five pumps and to the western side, a retail shop selling a range of convenience goods. Directly along the northern boundary was a car wash facility. Nine car parking spaces for customers and staff are provided at the front of the shop. The site was accessed from Coneygree Road and Whittlesey Road. There were a number of mature trees to the northern and eastern boundary and soft landscaping to the Whittlesey Road frontage. The application sought planning consent for alterations to the existing shop to create a Burger King take-away/restaurant and shop facility. The works would include a small extension 8m x 4m x 2.8m (height) to the northern side of the building to provide toilets. The extension would have a flat roof. There would be some elevational changes to the existing building, including re-location of the entrance, new fascia, insertion of a serving window and removal, in part, of the forecourt canopy. Twenty two car parking spaces would be provided, including two disabled parking bays. A car wash facility along the northern boundary would be removed and one petrol pump would also be removed. 2 The proposal would reconfigure the internal layout of the existing shop to provide both a small restaurant and takeaway and to continue to provide the shop facility. A new refuse compound would be created with attached secure staff cycle store. The proposal would provide nine full time staff and fourteen part time staff. The petrol filling station would operate twenty four hours a day Monday to Sunday, as existing. The opening hours for the Burger King takeaway/restaurant would be 9.00 am to 11.00 pm Monday to Saturday and 9.00 am to 10.00 pm on Sundays. The recommendation was to GRANT the application subject to relevant conditions. Councillors Harper and Walsh addressed the Committee on behalf of local residents. In summary the issues highlighted to the Committee included: • The aim of the application was to increase the profitability of the site. • The Local Highways Authority was concerned at the number of vehicle trips especially at peak times. • The Cardea development would lead to an increase in dwellings and therefore an increase in traffic. • The traffic which had been taken off the Whittlesey Road by the Stanground By- pass would return. • There would be chaos at the site when tankers arrived to deliver fuel. • Some residents lived within meters of the development and there would be an unacceptable loss of privacy to local residents including an increase in anti-social behaviour and music from cars. • What monitoring would be done around the odours from cooking? • There were already problems with litter. • Stanground Academy had a healthy eating policy in place and also promoted sports. There was concern that as the site was on the way home for a number of children. • There had been a judicial review against Tower Hamlets Council when the fact that a school promoted health eating was not considered during the planning process. • The application should be rejected as unsuitable due to the impact on the neighbourhood and the health of young people. Mr Chris Goodwin and Mr Michael Watling addressed the Committee on behalf of local residents. In summary the issues highlighted to the Committee included: • The proposed parking bays at the site would only be 20 feet away from some properties and people would be parked up to eat their purchases. • Appleyard were not good neighbours and they had not consulted with local people on their application. • Local residents were the important issue. The area was a peaceful, quiet residential area. • The photographs showed by the Planning Officer did not show that the site was located at a very busy T Junction which was controlled by a set of traffic lights.
