PLANNING APPLICATIONS: REPORTS OF THE HEAD OF PLANNING |
|

SITE OF 107 CARLTON ROAD Report of the Head of Planning Minutes: Martin Poole, Area Planning Manager, introduced the report and application number 15/03180/PFUL3, submitted by Plan A (North West) Limited on behalf of Lidl UK GmbH, for a new retail store (Class 1) with associated parking, service area and access works. The application is presented to the Committee as it is a major application which has previously been the subject of a presentation to the Committee.
Martin Poole delivered a brief presentation to accompany the report, which included a summary of the application, a plan of the existing site with street views, and revised plans for the proposed development, including alterations to parking, soft landscaping, the highway and re-siting of a bus stop.
Councillors were directed to the update sheet, which was submitted to the online agenda following the meeting, noting that the eastbound bus stop will now be moved 17 metres to the east.
Mr Poole highlighted a representation that had been received from the Co-op indicating, setting out their view that their adjacent former site would be more appropriate for this development. This site would however require a reduction in the scale of the new building in order to provide suitable parking arrangements particular to the needs of a discount operator. It was felt that it would be unreasonable to require the applicant to reduce the size of the development by a third in order to use that particular site and the current proposed site is appropriate for such a development within the terms of both national and local Retail Policy.
The final details of the proposals for changes to the highway, including the removal of a section of bus lane to enable left and right turning are yet to be finalised.
Committee members commented as follows:
(a) the design of this and similar stores has improved significantly and should now be commended, particularly as it is evident the views and concerns of the Committee have been taken into consideration;
(b) the design is welcomed as a good use of the site, as is an individual approach to each site, ensuring that there is not standard formula design.
Councillor’s questions were responded to as follows:
(c) highways discussions are on-going with regard to safe access, including during the building work;
(d) it should be noted that the bus lane on Carlton Road is already intermittent so there is not an issue with losing a small section of bus lane at this point.
RESOLVED
(1) to grant planning permission subject to the conditions listed in the draft decision notice at the end of the report;
(2) for the power to determine the final details of the conditions to be delegated to the Head of Planning.
