The Committee received the report of the Chief Planning Officer, together with information and details received after the agenda was prepared.
18/00921/FUL – THE ROYAL BRITISH LEGION, HIGH STREET, KINVER, STOURBRIDGE, DY7 6ER – APPLICANT – MR IAN MALYAN – PARISH - KINVER
This application had been deferred to seek further environmental guidance. The Emergency Planning Officer had expressed severe reservations about the preponderance of the site to flooding.
Councillor Hingley supported the officer’s recommendation for refusal.
RESOLVED: that the application was refused as recommended for the following reason:
The proposed development is located within Flood Zones 3,2 and 1 of the flood map for planning for the River Stour. The application has failed to show that the proposed development would be safe and that any residual flood risk can be overcome contrary to the advice given in paragraphs 038, 039 and 040 of the National Planning Policy Guidance and paragraph 163 of the NPPF.
18/00789/COU – LAND AT THE JUNCTION OF BURSNIPS ROAD AND HOBNOCK ROAD, ESSINGTON – APPLICANT – MR WAYNE CLEE – PARISH - ESSINGTON
This application referred to the change of use of land to provide two additional pitches adjacent to existing gypsy and traveller site.
Councillor Steel confirmed that he had received no adverse comments from local residents and was happy to support the officer recommendation.
RESOLVED: that the application be approved with conditions as recommended.
19/00407/FUL – SAD SITE 119 SAREDON ROAD, CHESLYN HAY – APPLICANT – MR CHRIS LOIZOU, PARTNER CONSTRUCTION LTD – PARISH - CHESLYN HAY
Andy Williams (agent) spoke for the application.
Councillor Steve Hollis spoke against it.
The application was for a residential development of 60 dwellings and public open space with associated highways and drainage infrastructure, landscaping and other accommodation works and construction of a car park.
Councillor Hollis was satisfied with the number and mix of dwellings proposed but still had concerns about sewerage and drainage; the proximity of the SUDS basin to the school and delivery of materials on the narrow lane.
Councillor Boyle had concerns about sewerage system as Cheslyn Hay continued to encounter subsidence disturbance caused by former mining in the area. He felt the sewerage system in the village was archaic and no longer fit for purpose.
These matters were addressed in the site allocations document and proposed additional conditions listed in the late list. Severn Trent had plant upgrades scheduled in their strategic plan
The County Flood Risk Officer and Severn Trent had raised no objections.
Councillor Allen asked that Severn Trent share their Sewage System Improvement Plan with the District and Parish Councils.
RESOLVED: that approval be delegated to the Team Manager to issue a decision on completion of a satisfactory Section 106 agreement and a unilateral undertaking. If this has not been achieved by 21 July 2020, this application is to be referred back to the Planning Committee.
With an alteration to condition 12:
12. Prior to first occupation of the new dwellings secure cycle storage shall be provided and maintained in accordance with details first to be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority
And two additional conditions:
Condition
19: The development permitted by this planning permission shall only be carried out in accordance with the approved Flood Risk Assessment (Patrick Parsons Ref: B20046, Rev 7, 13/03/20) and supporting details including the following mitigation measures:
• Development levels to direct surface water away from dwellings towards the positive drainage system, with safe exceedance routes and;
• Construction and maintenance of a swale within the western site boundary to maintain an exceedance flow route from Saredon Road and direct runoff into the existing ditch.
Reason
19: To reduce the risk of flooding to the development and prevent increased flood risk by the obstruction of an existing flow path.
Condition
20: No development shall begin until a detailed surface water drainage design has been submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority in consultation with the Lead Local Flood Authority. The design must be in accordance with the overall strategy and key design parameters set out in the Drainage Strategy (Patrick Parsons Report Ref: B20046, Rev C, 13/03/20 and Drawing Ref: B20046-205 Rev P9).
The design must demonstrate:
• Surface water drainage system(s) designed in accordance with national and local standards, including the Non-statutory technical standards for sustainable drainage systems (DEFRA, March 2015).
• SuDS design to provide adequate water quality treatment, which can be demonstrated using the Simple Index Approach (CIRIA SuDS Manual 2015).
• Limiting the discharge rate generated by all rainfall events up to the 100 year plus 40% climate change critical rain storm to 9.4l/s to ensure that there will be no increase in flood risk downstream.
• Detailed design (plans, network details and calculations) in support of any surface water drainage scheme, including details on any attenuation system, and the outfall arrangements. Calculations should demonstrate the performance of the designed system for a range of return periods and storm durations inclusive of the 1 in 1 year, 1 in 30 year, 1 in 100 year and 1 in 100 year plus climate change return periods.
• Plans illustrating flooded areas and flow paths in the event of exceedance of the drainage system. Site layout and levels should provide safe exceedance routes and adequate access for maintenance.
• Provision of an acceptable management and maintenance plan for surface water drainage and exceedance swale to ensure continued performance of the system for the lifetime of the development. This should include a plan showing features to be maintained, access arrangements, schedule of required maintenance activities and frequencies, and contact details for the organisation responsible for carrying out these duties.
Reason
20: To reduce the risk of surface water flooding to the development and properties downstream for the lifetime of the development.
