Decision & conditions
Decision NoticePlanning conditions
- The application site is located to the rear of 85 High Green and immediately adjacent the Cannock Town Centre Conservation Area. The proposal would result in less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area. By reason of its scale, appearance and location, the proposal would result in an incongruous and visually intrusive form of development to the detriment of the Cannock Town Centre Conservation Area. In this instance, the public benefits associated with the proposal do not outweigh the less than substantial harm the proposal would cause and therefore, the proposal fails to have regard to the provisions of Section 72 of the Planning (Listed Building and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and is contrary to Local Plan Policies CP3 and CP15 and the National Planning Policy Framework (2023).
- Insufficient information has been provided to assess the impact of the proposal on residential properties on Manor Avenue in respect of noise and disturbance. As such, the proposal has the potential to have a detrimental effect upon the amenities and quiet enjoyment that nearby neighbours may reasonably be expected to enjoy. In respect of this, the proposal is contrary to Policy CP3 of the Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework (2023).
- The application site relates to a rear parking and servicing area for the properties / businesses within High Green. Insufficient provision is made for the pedestrian visibility splays, parking of vehicles and servicing provision within the application site. The proposal would therefore result in increased demand for on road parking provision in the locality, which would be to the detriment of highway safety and the free flow of traffic. The development proposal is therefore in conflict with Policies CP3 and CP10 of the Cannock Chase Local Plan (Part 1) 2014 and Paragraph 115 National Planning Policy Framework (2023).
