01/j/35            CHANGES TO THE SCHEME OF CHARGES FOR THE BUILDING CONTROL SERVICE

 

The report by the Director of Environment and Planning set out proposals for changes to the Scheme of Charges for the Building Control Service made under the Building (Local Authority Charges) Regulations 1998. These Regulations had been adopted by Environment Committee on 8 June 1998 and they enabled individual authorities to fix charges so long as the income derived was not greater than the cost of providing the service. Competition for the service was increasingly commercially orientated and the department needed to respond to demand for the service.

 

Resolved that in relation to the charges for the Building Control Services:

 

1.      charges for Schedule 2 work (small buildings, extensions and alterations to dwellings) be increased by 5%.

2.      A discount of up to 25% be agreed for building work associated with maintained schools where the estimated cost of work exceeds £100,000.

3.      The current discount of 10% to 15% be continued for applications relating to Educational, Research and Development Buildings.

Applicant:        Mr & Mrs Frostick

REFUSED       (by 9 votes to 0) on the grounds set out below and the Director of Environment and Planning to write to the applicant referring to consent for provision of the annex and the comments of the Papworth Trust:

            1.         The proposed development would, by reason of the proximity of the access to the windows and curtilage of 4 Laburnum Close, result in an unacceptable level of noise and disturbance to the detriment of the amenity that the occupiers of this might reasonable expect to enjoy.  The application is therefore contrary to the provisions of policy SP12/10 of the Cambridgeshire Structure Plan 1995, policies NE8 and HO5 of the Cambridge Local Plan 1996 and the principle of good neighbourliness contained in Planning Policy Guidance Note 1, 1997                      

2.   The proposal, by reason of its height, scale, and proximity to the boundary with 4 Laburnum Close, would have an overpowering impact on this neighbouring property and fails to deal with the constraints of the site to the detriment of the amenity that the occupiers of this property might reasonably expect to enjoy.  The application is therefore contrary to the provisions of policy SP12/10 of the Cambridgeshire Structure Plan 1995, policies BE2 and HO5 of the Cambridge Local Plan 1996 and the principle of neighbourliness contained in Planning Policy Guidance Note 1, 1997

Site:                  185-189, Hills Road, Cambridge, CB2 2RN

Proposal:        Demolition of existing and erection of 4 storey building (with 3 storey rear wing) to provide 16no 2bedroom flats and 2no 1bedroom flats, together with 20no parking spaces including 2 disabled spaces and 40no cycle spaces

PSR:                 Under the Public Speaking Rights adopted by the Council at meetings of the Subcommittee, Mr P Symonds, spoke on this application for the applicant.

Applicant:        Berkeley Homes (Eastern) Ltd

REFUSED       on the following grounds:

1.    The proposal, by virtue of its mass and bulk, and prominence in the street scene which will be even more marked when trees on the frontage corner of Hartington Grove are lost, fails to recognise the constraints of the site or relate well to its surroundings, resulting in a detrimental impact on the adjacent properties and the local townscape.  For these reasons the proposal is considered to be contrary Policies SP12/10, SP18/16 and SP18/19 of The Cambridge Local Plan (1996)

2.    The proposed on-site parking layout, featuring 11 parking spaces in very close proximity to the common boundary with no. 183 Hills Road, would result in an unacceptable level of noise and general disturbance to that property through the movement of cars and associated emissions, which would materially detract from and be harmful to the amenity of the neighbouring occupier of no. 183.  For that reason the proposal would be contrary to Policy E01 (b) of The Cambridge Local Plan (1996) and would fail to meet the tests of fairness and good neighbourliness referred to in paragraph 64 of Planning Policy Guidance Note 1-1 General Policy and Principles (1997)

3.    The mass and height of the proposal’s east elevation, measuring 12m wide and 8.7m high, would, set where it is in relationship to Hartington Court, unreasonably dominate that adjacent property and create a sense of enclosure for the occupiers which would be detrimental to their living conditions.  The siting of the building in this position demonstrates a failure to recognise Hartington Court as being a constraint on the site or proper recognition of the surroundings.  For these reasons the proposal is seen as being contrary to Policy BE2 of the Cambridge Local Plan (1996) and failing to meet the yardsticks of fairness good neighbourliness suggested by paragraph 64 of the Planning Policy Guidance Note 1 General Policy and Principles (1997).

4.    The application fails to demonstrate adequately the justification for the demolition of the existing buildings and is for that reason seen as being contrary to Policy SP1 of The Cambridgeshire Structure Plan (1995) and policy E)5 of the Cambridge Local Plan (1996) and advice in Planning Policy Guidance Note 3 housing (2000)
