CHE/23/00794/FUL - CHANGE OF USE FROM HEALTH CENTRE TO RESIDENTIAL ASSESSMENT CENTRE AND CHILDREN’S HOME INCLUDING GROUND FLOOR AND FIRST FLOOR EXTENSIONS AND OTHER ALTERATIONS AT 82 ST PHILIPS DRIVE, HASLAND, CHESTERFIELD FOR DR CATHERINE KEMP.

In accordance with Minute No. 299 (2001/2002) Paul Hills (objector) addressed the meeting.

 

In accordance with Minute No. 299 (2001/2002) Amanda Serjeant (Ward Member / objector) addressed the meeting.

 

In accordance with Minute No. 299 (2001/2002) David Peck (applicant’s agent) addressed the meeting.

 

*RESOLVED

 

That the officer recommendation be REFUSED for the following reasons:

 

1.  The proposed development would in the opinion of the Local Planning Authority result in an over development of the plot to the detriment of local residential amenity and highway safety having regard to the following matters:

a)  An over dominant form of development overlooking the adjacent dwelling at 4 Swanbourne Close to the detriment of residential amenity;

b)  The proposed hipped roof design of the first floor extension would not be in keeping with the predominant character of the area to the detriment of visual amenity;

c)  The elongated form of the single storey extension would result in parking spaces forward of the building resulting in a negative impact to the street scene of St Philips Drive;

d)  The number of parking spaces proposed is inadequate to serve the needs of the proposed development resulting in parking on the highway close to a junction and bend in the road which would not be in the best interests of highway safety;

e)  Satisfying the highway authority requirement for pedestrian intervisibility splays would further reduce parking numbers available on site.

As such the proposal is considered to be an unacceptable form of development which would conflict with policies CLP14, CLP20 and CLP22 of the adopted Chesterfield Borough Local Plan 2018-2035 and with part 12 of the NPPF 2023.
