Decision & conditions
75905_Decision_Notice_-_REFUSE.pdfPlanning conditions
- The applicant has failed to demonstrate that the proposed development would not result in an unacceptable impact on highway safety. Insufficient information has been submitted to assess the impact of the development in respect of trip generation, intensification of use, vehicular visibility, access design and the suitability of the existing access arrangements. In particular, the applicant has failed to demonstrate that the required visibility splays can be achieved, or that the existing access can safely accommodate vehicle movements associated with the development. As a result, the Local Planning Authority cannot be satisfied that the development could be undertaken without harm to highway safety. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy LP13 of the Peterborough Local Plan (2019) and Section 9 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024 and amended Feb 2025).
- The application site lies adjacent to the County Wildlife Site known as Bainton Pits. Insufficient ecological information has been submitted, including the absence of a Preliminary Ecological Appraisal, preventing a full assessment of the likely impacts of the development on the County Wildlife Site and wider ecological network. Consequently, the applicant has failed to demonstrate that the proposal would not adversely affect biodiversity interests or that the need and benefits of the development outweigh any harm to the coherence of the local ecological network. The proposal is therefore contrary to Part 1(c) of Policy LP28 of the Peterborough Local Plan (2019) and Section 15 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024 and amended Feb 2025).
- Location Plan (09.05.2026) Existing Block Plan - 001 Proposed Block Plan - 002 Proposed Floor & Elevation Plan - 003 Planning Statement prepared by MAP Design (09.05.2026) Design and Access Statement prepared by MAP Design (09.05.2026) Biodiversity Net Gain Assessment (Allied Ecology, March 2025)
- Insufficient information has been submitted in relation to surface water drainage, including infiltration testing and a site-specific drainage strategy. Consequently, the applicant has failed to demonstrate that the development accords with the drainage hierarchy, that sustainable drainage solutions have been appropriately considered, or that surface water arising from the development can be managed without increasing flood risk elsewhere. As a result, the Local Planning Authority is unable to conclude that the proposal provides an appropriate surface water drainage strategy. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy LP32 of the Peterborough Local Plan (2019), the Peterborough Flood and Water Management SPD and Section 14 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024 and amended Feb 2025).
