Reasons for Decision

Appropriate facilities associated with cemeteries and burial grounds are an appropriate form of development within the Green Belt, subject to not conflicting with the purposes of including land within it e.g. openness considerations. The scheme has been re-designed to the minimum built-form necessary. However, there is still some built-form and the proposal does still have some impact on the openness of the Green Belt, albeit now limited. However, the development is inappropriate development within the Green Belt, due to this impact on the openness of the Green Belt. Very special circumstances exist which outweigh other policy considerations. These relate mostly to the need for such a facility within the area but also the link to the existing cemetery permission and the need for a rural location. As such, the proposal complies with paragraphs 152 and 153 of the NPPF.The proposal does not have an unacceptable impact on the visual amenity or landscape character of the area, residential amenity, highway safety, designated heritage assets, ecological considerations or ground water.As such, the proposal complies with the NPPF, Policies A, 1, 3, 10, 11 and 17 of the ACS,  ...  view the full minutes text for item 88.

Proposals for 141 dwellings with associated landscaping, public open space, highways and infrastructure on land west of the A60, Redhill.

Robbie Locke of Cora Homes, the applicant, spoke in support of the application.

The Principal Planning Officer provided the following updates:

-        In the committee report there was a typo as it was detailed that 141 dwellings were proposed, when a total of 144 dwellings were actually proposed.

-        Two further letters of objection had been received, but all matters raised no new issues to those already contained within the published committee report.

-        One letter of support had been received, made on the grounds that the development would provide an affordable home for a local resident with specific special needs requirements; that they had been waiting for suitable premises, but none were available; and that buying a new home and adapting it to their needs would be financially prohibitive.

-        The Deputy Leader had made very late representation on the basis that a signalised traffic junction from Mansfield Road onto Adams Drive needed to be provided;  that sufficient measures should be in place to limit water run-off from the site into housing at Phase 1 at Lodge Close, Larkspur Avenue, Henry Street and Richmond Gardens; that a pedestrian only link should be provided link to the existing public footpath to the south of the site; that additional tree planting should be provided along the green space between private shared drive, the SUDS and the adjacent rear of the properties on Lodge Close, Larkspur Avenue, Henry Street and Richmond Gardens; and that there would be a loss of green space.

-        The Highway Authority had responded to state that a further condition should be added to require more details to be provided in respect of the submitted Travel Plan.   They also requested that obligations for bus stops could also be used to upgrade existing bus stop infrastructure.

He then went on to introduce the report.
