UPDATE

 

Report correction

 

As printed and appearing on the web the report contains a formatting error after paragraph 7.4.14.  This affects the section heading pertaining to ‘7.5 Amenity Considerations’   and paragraphs 7.5.1 and 7.5.2.  For clarity paragraph 7.4.14 to 7.5.6 are reproduced  below.

 

7.4.14

In conclusion, the proposal would deliver a satisfactory form of development and would not undermine the objectives of the Deepcut SPD, the Site Wide Design Code, or policies CP4, DM9 and DM17 of the Core Strategy and Development Management Policies 2012.

7.5

Amenity Considerations

7.5.1

The Council has a number of planning documents seeking to ensure residential amenity is not compromised.  Policy DM9 of the CSDMP 2012 and the Residential Design Guide 2017 are relevant considerations as is the Site Wide Design Code (SWDC).  At the time of considering this application there are limited dwellings approved / built in close proximity to the proposed public house and as a consequence few existing relationships to consider.  The siting and form of the building is not considered to harm the dwellings approved at the Cala site with the form of the side elevation of the building facing this direction actually fronting the green swathe running between the two Cala parcels.  In addition, the intervening road and the set back of the building from the site boundaries are sufficient to prevent any overbearing relationship arising.   It is noted that the design code and reserved matters application for the residential parcel to the north of the site will need to respond to any approved layout on the application site.

7.5.2

The design and access statement advises the opening hours would be:

·         0730 to 2330hrs Monday to Thursday;

·         0730 to 0000hrs Friday and Saturday;

·         0800 to 2300hrs Sunday; and,

·         0730 to 0000 Bank holidays and New Year’s Eve 0730 to 0130hrs.   

7.5.3

It is considered the above is generally acceptable; however, it is considered Bank Holiday opening should not exceed the opening on Sunday.  In addition, discussions with the Council’s Environmental Health Officer conclude that the above, and the operation of the public house generally, is acceptable subject to conditions as detailed at draft conditions 4 – 6.

7.5.4

It is also noted that any development has the potential to give rise to temporary effects which can cause inconvenience and disruption to residents and businesses.  The hybrid permission sought to address this by imposing planning conditions to control amongst other things, delivery routes, piling techniques, dust suppression techniques and hours of working.   Subject to compliance with the planning conditions already imposed it is not considered the development proposed would give rise to conditions not considered at hybrid application stage.

7.5.5

The proposal includes on site ancillary staff accommodation.  This takes the form of 7 double bedrooms of 12sqm.  This exceeds the 11.5sqm baseline contained within the Technical Housing Standards.  In addition, the communal areas provided in terms of their size and general provision are considered to be acceptable.  The proposal has been reviewed by the Senior Environmental Health Officer (Home Solutions Team Leader) and the Fire Safety Officer  and both confirm the accommodation meets the required amenity and safety standards.  

7.5.6

In light of the above it is considered the proposal is acceptable in terms of its amenity impact and provision.  The proposal is therefore considered compliant with Policy CP4 and Policy DM9 of the Surrey Heath Core Strategy and Development Management Policies 2012 and the objectives of the Deepcut SPD.
