Minutes: The Head of Planning submitted plans deposited as
applications to develop land under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. 20/0566/FUL
Erection of school building (Class F1) with associated outdoor-sports areas, parking
and landscaping at Land at Former Natures World, Sandy Flatts Lane,
Middlesbrough, TS5 7YN for Interserve Construction Ltd The Head of Planning advised that planning
permission was sought for the erection of a Special Educational Needs (SEN)
school on a site to the north of Sandy Flatts Lane, at the southern end of the
former Nature’s World site. The application was for the erection of a single
storey school building and the proposed scheme included the school building
along with the associated facilities and amenities, including car parking area,
multi-use games area, landscaping and boundary treatments. Access to the SEN school would be taken off Sandy
Flatts Lane. Following the consultation period, 25
representations had been received, including 22 letters of objection, 1 letter
of support and 2 other representations. The two issues that required consideration by the
committee included: ·
The
development site being within a designated Green Wedge; and ·
The
transport implications. The application site was allocated on the adopted
Local Plan Proposals Map as part of the Green Wedge. As well as the Green Wedge, the western side
of the site was identified as Secondary Open Space, and the eastern side of the
site was identified as Primary Open Space.
The general principles of those allocations was to protect the open and
green character and appearance and to resist most developments. The Head of Planning commented that the benefits of
the proposed SEN school to the local community were considered to outweigh the
loss of part of the Green Wedge. It was
also concluded that the application site occupied a relatively small area of
the larger Green Wedge allocation and that the green character and open
appearance of the Green Wedge was not significantly harmed. It was considered
that if tree planting and landscaping were to be incorporated, along the south
western boundary of the site, that would reduce the visual impact of the
development on the Green Wedge. In terms of transport implications, it was explained
that due to the nature of the school, the applicant had advised that most
pupils would arrive in either arranged taxis or minibuses. The number of pupils that would arrive in
private car was negligible and, as such, it was not envisaged that there would
be the type of parking issues that could be seen at other schools. It was
advised that there would be only 84 pupils on the school roll. With regards to the proposal, it had been identified that there would be a material impact at the junction of Sandy Flatts Lane/Ladgate Lane. Further investigation had identified that the issue at the junction was due to the operation of the adjacent Blue Bell roundabout and the interaction of queues between those junctions. Therefore, officers had negotiated and secured a contribution of £22,500 from the school. If ... view the full minutes text for item 20/29 |
