Decision & conditions
Decision NoticePlanning conditions
- Insufficient information has been submitted with the application relating to the potential noise and disturbance from the relocated car repair bay and its opening hours, bin store and jet wash facility to adequately assess the impact of the proposed development having regard to the adjoining residential properties. As such, the proposal has the potential to have a detrimental affect upon the amenities and quiet enjoyment that nearby neighbours may reasonably be expected to enjoy. In the absence of this information, it has not been possible to demonstrate that the proposal would comply with Policy CP3 of the Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
- Insufficient information has been submitted in respect of on-site parking provision for the retail unit and vehicle repair garage as well as on site queueing space for the car wash and deliveries and sufficient space for HGVs to manoeuvre within the site to allow the Highway Authority to adequately assess the impact on highway safety. The proposal would intensify the use of the site and as such result in an increased demand for on road parking provision and/or vehicle waiting 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, the Cannock Chase Parking Standards, travel Plans & Developer Contributions for Sustainable Transport SPD and Paragraph 116 National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
- Reason for Refusal of Planning Permission In accordance with paragraph (38) of the National Planning Policy Framework the Local Planning Authority has worked with the applicant in a positive and proactive manner to approve the proposed development. However, in this instance the proposal fails to accord with the Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.
