SITE DESCRIPTION AND PROPOSALS

The application site lies to the south of Old Monkland Road. Coatbridge, and consists of an area of land estending to some 1.204 Ha in area. The land itself lies ivitliin the boundary of Coathill Hospital, being located to thc west of the main hospital buildings.

The proposals thcniselves are in outline and seck to establish tlie principle of the residential development of tlie land in qucstion. At this stage no information has been supplied relative to the form of tlie proposcd dei.elopnient albeit that the proposed means of access to the site have been finalised in principle.

COMMENTS

As Members vi11 note from the abo\.e thc application site lies within an area zoned under the terms of policy HG9 of the adopted Monklands District Local Plan 1991. Under the terms of this policy it is gencrally accepted that proposals for inf i l l or plottcd residential de\.elopiiients n.ill be favourably considered srib.icct to such proposals liaiiig no adxrse cffect upon the csisting residential amenity of the area.

In the case of the currcnt proposals the land i n qiicstion lies to the nest of Coathill Hospital and to the north of Roschall Park \\,it11 its frontagc to Old Manklnnd Road being split in t\\,o by an esisting hospital building. The site itself' is not boundcd on any side by existing residential properties. Gken this arrangcnient of surrounding landuses I ani satisfied that this proposed development will not ad\.erscl!, impact upon the existing lettls of rcsidcntial amenit?. en-ioyed by those residential properties lying to tlic north of Old Monkland Road.

In principle thercforc the rcsidcntial dc\clopnicnt of this sitc raises no issues of concern relative to the effcct of same upon existing le\.cls of rcsidcntinl amenit!. with the site itself being capable of providing a satisfacton level of amenit!. for an!' dwelliiighouscs crected thereon. As such the proposals can be justified i\,itliin the contest of polic!. HG9.

On a more detailed consideration of' tlic proposals tn'o potential areas of concern \\.ere identified. namely the road safcty implications of tlic proposed access into the site and tlie potential implications of the ambulance depot i\.hich lies to the north \vest of the site. Dealing with the first of these issues I would ad\.ise Menibers that tlic initial conccrns of the former Strathclyde Regional Council Roads Department 1iaj.e no)\' been fully addressed and b!. lctter dated 30 April 1996 my department confirnicd same to the consulting engineers acting on behalf of tlic applicants.

On the second issuc I \vould a d \ k hlcmbcrs that thc Director of Environmental Services raised initial concerns that tlic esistcncc of the nnibulancc depot on Old Monkland Road may give rise to complaints regarding noise nuisance froin the futurc residents of an!. housing on the application site. The potcntial noisc nuis:incc iiorild be likcl! to arise from both the reversing alarms on the ambulances and also the ambulance sirciis. These p:irlicular points of concern \\.ere raised with tlie applicant's agent. u.ho i n rcsponse initiarcd furthcr research into the potential noise impact of the ambulance depot. The rcsults of this research \\.as Tor\\.arcled to thc Dircctor of EnIironniental Services who. following considcration of same. 1i:is indicalcd tha t subject to conditions he has no objection to the proposals.

CONCLUSION

In \icw of the forcgoing I ani satisfied as to the acccptabilit? of the principle of the proposed deidopnient and accordingl!, u,ould recommcnd lliat planning permission be granted in respect of same. sub-ject to the conditions attached licreto.

2.2.4


The application site consists of a small area of land within the boundary of Longrigg Farm, this land being located approximately 200 metres to the east of the main farm steading. Longrigg Farm itself is an established all grass, livestock farm extending to some 60.7 ha. The application site itself bounds directly onto the stretch of Longriggend Road that heads eastwards out of the village of Longriggend.

Through this application the applicant seeks to establish the principle of the erection of an agricultural workers dwellinghouse in connection with the farm. No details of the scale, design or siting of the proposed dwelling house have been submitted with this outline application, albeit that the proposed dwellinghouse would take access directly off Longriggend Road with the dwellinghouse being served by a septic tank.

SUPPORTING EVlDENCEANFORMATlON

In support of this application the applicant has submitted a report prepared on his behalf by the Scottish Agricultural College.

Using SOAEFD'S "Standard Labour Data for Agricultural and Horticultural Activities" this report indicates that the labour unit requirement for this holding is 1.36. On this basis therefore the report notes that the unit in question does not fully justify two full time workers. This having been noted however the report makes the following points.

Longrigg Farm carries a dairy herd of 325 breeding ewes, and animal welfare and security considerations are such that it is desirable that the individuals involved in looking after the flock are resident on the site. During lambing periods said individuals must be available 24 hours per day.

The applicant's father is, following an accident in 1991, less able to cope with the more physically demanding tasks on the farm and is reliant upon his son (the applicant) for fulfilling both these tasks and for assistance during lambing. The applicant will take over the running of the farm when his father retires.

Currently the father is reliant upon his son and this is proving to be difficult as his son is not resident on site.

As the applicants father retires from the business, the presence of both parties on the farm would ease the transition, ensuring that a capable person was always available to attend to the requirements of the livestock.

The land immediately surrounding the steading at Longrigg, where the new dwelling would be sited, is Land Use Class 4. This type of land is unsuitable for any arable crops and is not considered to be "prime" agricultural land.

RAB001;es

14

4 2.2.5 The site selected for the proposed development was the site of a former dwellinghouse which

has been demolished. A new dwellinghouse on the site would result in building rubble from this earlier dwelling being removed and the site being improved.

2.3 Given that this report clearly states that at present this farming unit does not fully justify two full time workers, suitable cause would require to exist to justify setting aside the terms of policy GB2 which would presume against the granting of consent under these circumstances.

3.0 CONCLUSIONS

3.1 Taking into account all of the above I am of the opinion that the labour requirements of this farm unit are not sufficient to justiw the granting of consent in respect of a second dwellinghouse on the site and accordingly I would therefore recommend that planning permission be refused in respect of this application.

REASONS :

01. Given that the labour requirement of the farm in question stands at 1.36 labour units, the applicant has failed to demonstrate that a second dwellinghouse can be justified in connection with the operation of this farm. This being the case the proposed development is considered to be contrary to the terms of policy GB2 of the adopted Monklands District Local Plan 1991.

Report

1.0 Site Description and Proposals

1.1 The application site extends to some 1.364 hectares in area and consists of land lying to the side and rear of the dwellinghouses at nos. 72/98 Ayr Drive, Airdrie. The site itself currently forms part of the well used open space surrounding the existing housing on Ayr Drive with the northern part of the site containing two footpaths whch connect Ayr Drive to those footpaths leadmg northwards towards Airdrie town centre.

1.2 The proposed dwellinghouses would take access by way of two new sections of roadway leadmg off Ayr Drive. The first of these new roads would be located between nos. 70 & 72 Ayr Drive and would serve a total of 6 dwellinghouses. A new roundabout would be formed in conjunction with this access. A hrther 2 dwellinghouses would take access off the existing carriageway of Ayr Drive immediately north of the proposed roundabout.

The remaining 19 dwellinghouses would take access off a northwards extension of Ayr Drive. This new section of roadway would include a roundabout turning facility.

1.3 The proposed housing mix would be as follows - Bute 2 Bed Semi-detached Villa 4 units Mull 3 Bed Semi-detached Villa 4 units Jura 3 Bed Detached Villa 4 units Orkney 3 Bed Detached Villa 4 units Hams 3 Bed Detached Villa 5 units Shetland 4 Bed Detached Villa 6 units

Each of the proposed dwellinghouses would stand a full two storeys in height and would be finished in facing brick.

2.0 Objections

2.1 As already noted a total of 23 letters of objection relative to this application have been received by my department. The various grounds of objection contained within those letters may be summarised as follows - 1. Increased vehcular traffic resulting in

(a) Increased air pollution @) Increased noise pollution (c) (d) Reduction of parking areas (e) Restricted access

hicreased dangers to pedestrians, in particular children

2. Loss of Green Belt land resulting in

(a) @) Losddecrease in wildlife (c) Loss of open outlook (d)

Observations/Comments

As Members will note from the above the application site is covered by the terms of policy LRll of the adopted Monklands District Local Plan 1991. This policy states that -

"The District Council will protect existing public open space from inappropriate development and will upgrade existing large areas of public open space".

Given the nature of the proposed development it must be accepted that the proposals do not conform with the aims and objectives of this policy, this being on the basis that they would result in the loss of a significant area of well used public open space. This being the case policy LRl l would carry a presumption against the grant of consent in respect of this application.

In line with the terms of Section 18A of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1972 the decision on this application should be made in accordance with the terms of the development plan unless material considerations suggest otherwise.

To this end Members should note that the applicant has not put forward any supporting evidencehnformation with this application.

It therefore remains to be established if any material considerations exist which would be sufficient to justify a favourable recommendation being made on these proposals. Having fully considered th~s particular point, and in the light of the lack of any evidence presented by the applicants, I would advise Members that I am unable to establish any material considerations which would support the case of granting consent in respect of this application.

Turning to the grounds of objection raised by those parties objecting to the application I would advise Members that in light of the comments made by my department's traffic section I would be unable to support any case for refusing this application based upon the traffic implications of same. Similarly, those points relating to the effect of the proposals on property values and building insurance premiums would not constitute valid planning reasons to refuse this application.

Where I am in full agreement with the objectors, however, is on the point of the affects of the loss of open space and loss of footpaths connections that would result from the proposed development. These concerns reflect the aims and objectives behind policy LR11, as noted above, and I would fully endorse same.

In adhtion, I would advise Members that the southern part of the application site consists of an area of land which was specifically identified as forming part of the open space provision for the Ayr Drive development granted under the terms of Consent Ref. No. 751 16. Given the terms of this approval I would consider it inappropriate to consider the principle of the development of an area identified as open space on the basis that, firstly, this open space was considered necessary for the purposes of the original development and that its subsequent development would adversely affect the amenity of the area and, secondly, the fact that t h s area of land is well utilised by the residents of the area confrms the fact that the original purpose and need for this open space is still required by the residents in the area.

Finally, it is considered that, by virtue of the potential loss of the open space, the development proposal conflicts with the recently issued National Planning Policy Guideline (NPPG1 1, Sport, Physical Recreation and Open Space) which clearly states that amenity open space of value should be protected from development and enhanced.

RABOOZ/ctte/md

4.0 Conclusion

4.1 In view of the foregoing I would recommend that t h s application be refused on the basis, firstly of its non-conformity with the development plan and, secondly, on the basis of the adverse impact that it would have upon the amenity of this well established residential area.

The proposed development by resulting in the loss of an area of well used open space is contrary to the terms and requirements of policy LRll of the adopted Monklands District Local Plan 1991 and policy HG9 of the same Local Plan which states a presumption against development that is likely to affect adversely amenity in existing residential areas.

The proposed development would to contrary to National Planning Policy Guideline (NPPG11, sport, physical recreation and open space) and, in particular, to paragraph 43 which states "amenity open space of value within development schemes should be protected from development and enhanced".

The proposed development would result in the loss of a number of footpath connections which pass through the northern part of the site, the loss of which would significantly inconvenience the free flow of pedestrian traffic northwards towards Airdrie Town Centre.

The applicant has advised that the reason for the change is to meet cunent market demand for smaller housing units and to provide a more comprehensive mix in house types throughout the site. No objections were received in regard to the Propod

I consider the increase in site density would be acceptable in this instance as the scale, design and positioning of the units within the revised layout meets the terms of the Councils Design Guidance for new housing layouts. It is therefore recommended the application is approved subject to conditions.

The applicant seeks planning consent for the erection of a two storey extension and internal alteration to an existing hotel located at 3 Glasgow Road, Coatbridge. The application site is located at the road junction of Glasgow Road and Woodside Street and in bounded to the south and west by the Luggie Burn Woodland. The main access to the application site is via Glasgow Road with a service access provided from Woodside Street. The proposal involves a substantial enlargement to the existing two storey flat roofed 27 bedroom hotel which is currently vacant and in poor condition. The applicant intends to extend the hotel to provide additional function area, restaurant, lounge and ancillary leisure facilities with an additional 45 bedrooms (total 72) accommodated within a new third storey. A pitched tiled roof would be provided over the entire building and the external fabric of the hotel would be subject to a facelift. The existing car park would be extended to provide 174 car parking spaces, with servicing facilities provided to the rear.

The Transportation Manager has advised that although there would be a shortfall in parking provision of 18 no. spaces due to the increase in public floor area he had no objection to the proposal as there would be a duplication of use of the public areas and therefore the apparent shortfall would be acceptable. The overall scale and design of the proposal represents a si@icant improvement to the existing hotel and as such accords directly with the Council's Tourism Strategy which encourages the development of tourist accommodation. It is recommended the application is approved subject to conditions.

SITEENVIRONS

Whilst the location of the proposed football stadium lies to the south of Craigneuk Avenue, the overall boundaries of the planning application site incorporate Craigneuk Park in its entirety which extends northwards to the southern limits of Dalton's scrapyard. It is bounded by Carlisle Road (A73) to the West, a residential area to the east and Petersburn Road to the south. The land on the west side of Carlisle Road is predominantly residential in nature but also incorporates a number of commercialfindustrial uses, principally along that stretch between Petersburn Road and Craigneuk Avenue.

There are presently three full sized blaes football pitches withm the main part of the Park (i.e.. north of Craigneuk Avenue) and one grass football pitch alongside the sports pavilion to the south of Craigneuk Avenue. The remainder of the area north of Craigneuk Avenue is predominantly grass although there are a number of mature trees aligned along the Carlisle Road frontage. This area of grass is in part currently poorly drained. The remaining part of the land to the south of Craigneuk Avenue is in a derelict condition, comprising made up ground and shallow mineworkings.

LOCAL PLAN POLICIESPROPOSALS

In terms of the adopted Monklands District Local Plan 1991, the site is covered by the undernoted policiedproposals:

LRl l : Improve Public Open Space ECONS General Urban Areas ECON5/3: Rehabilitation of industrial sites *

* only relates to existing area of derelict land on north side of Petersburn Road (i.e.. former brickworks, Craigneuk).

RELEVANT PLANNING HISTORY

As members will be aware, Airdrieonians Football Club, the current applicant, have submitted a number of previous outline planning applications for the development of a new football stadium within the Airdrie area, these being as follows:

P92220: Land on the east side of Motherwell Street. Airdrie

This application was refused permission by the former Monklands District Council on 23rd October, 1992 on the basis that the development would have resulted on the loss of an identified housing site in the development plan, that insufficient information had been submitted to properly assess the proposals (particularly no Traffic Impact Analysis) various traffk concerns and the possibility of noise disturbance affecting the adjacent residential area.

This decision was taken to appeal by the Club and by Notice dated 23rd March, 1993, the Secretary of State dismissed the appeal, largely upholding the then Council's reasons for refusal.

In February, 1995 the former Monklands District Council took the decision to approve this outline planning application. The application was subsequently called-in for determination by the former Strathclyde Regional Council, having decided that the proposal did not accord with the Structure Plan Green Belt Policy (GB1). The Regional Council refused outline planning permission at their meeting of 4th October, 1995, on the basis that the proposal did not justlfy a departure from Structure Plan Policy GB 1 (Greenbelt). This decision was subsequently appealed by Airdrieonians Football Club to the Secretary of State. This appeal was subsequently withdrawn by the Club.

An outline application (Ref 94388) was also submitted for the erection of a football stadium on land to the west of the Broivnsburn Industrial Estate, krdrie in August, 1994, this application being refused permission by Monklands District Council on 24th February, 1995. However, this proposal was not submitted by Airdrieonians Football Club, but rather Robert Paterson Holdings Ltd, Airdrie. The proposal was clearly, submitted to establish whether Airdrieonians Football Club could locate at this site but was refused on the basis of inadequate information being supplied, being contrary to the relevant policies of the District Local Plan, would have destroyed a remnant raised peat bog, had inadequate accesdegress arrangements, would have been unduly intrusive visually on the site and, finally, the applicant had failed to demonstrate adequate control of the ground required for upgrading the proposed access road.

P95623 Land North of Craimeuk Avenue. Airdrie

Refused Consent.

P95629 Land South of Craigneuk Avenue, Airdrie

This outline application was granted consent by the former Monklands District Council following a formal referral to the Secretary of State for Scotland and forms the basis of the present reserved matters application.

PROPOSALS

As already noted this application relates to the erection of a 10,000 seat capacity football stadium, formation of site access roads, the formation of carkoach parking and the upgrading of existing playing fields.

The proposed stadium would be positioned centrally on that part of the site lying to the south of Craigneuk Avenue and would be constructed along a northwestkoutheast axis. The proposed Main Stand would be located to the west of the pitch, facing approximately towards Carlisle Road. This main stand would provide all of the accommodation required by the applicant, i.e. changing facilities, gym, offices, hospitality facilities, players/directors lounges and would feature a rear elevation finished in facing brick.

All of the remaining stands would be of a standard design, finished in metal sheeting and would be provided with toilet and hot food servery facilities.

A total of 1217 car parking spaces and 70 coach spaces would be provided within the boundary of the site. All of these spaces, with the exception of a 195 space car park and a 290 space overspill car park, would be located around the four sides of the proposed stadium. Parking for TV vehicles would be located to the east of the east stand, the east stand providing space of TV coverage facilities.

Access for home support would be taken directly off Craigneuk Avenue via a new roundabout with the away support taking access off Petersburn Road.

The proposals also involve an upgrade of the existing playing field facilities within Craigneuk Park, as follows:

- - -

the provision of 3 full sized grass football pitches the provision of 2 no. 7-a-side grass football pitches the prokision of a full sized ash football pitch (which would double as the 290 spare overspill car

Whilst not forming part of this application, allowance has been made within the layout of the site for the routing of the GlasgowEdinburgh Cycle Path through the site.

CONSULTATIONS

As noted in my earlier report, none of these parties with whom I consulted during the course of my consideration of this application have offered any objection to same.

REPRESENTATIONS

As already noted three letters of objection have been received in respect of this application. Said letters note a number of areas of concern which may be summarised as follows.

The proposals would create unacceptable traffic problems.

The proposed development may affect the local bus service on match days thus malung it difficult for elderly residents to gain access to the shops.

The proposals would result in the generation of unacceptable levels of noise and dust being created during construction works.

In answer to these grounds of objection I would advise, firstly, that the traflk section of my department and Strathclyde Police are both satisfied that this development can be accommodated without adversely affecting the safety and free flow of traffic at this locus. On this basis I have no concerns in this regard. Secondly, I have received no information that would suggest that the proposed development will have any affect upon the existing bus services within t h s area and as such I have no concerns in this regard. Finally, whilst it must be accepted that some degree of disturbance nil1 result from the construction of the proposed stadium, this disturbance will be short term and as such should not prejudice the decision taken on this application.

COMMENTS

As Members will appreciate the location of any new football stadium poses considerable problems. During consideration of the outline application relative to this development all of the potential impacts of same were the subject of full and lengthy consideration. Following completion of this consideration the then Monklands District Council were satisfied that the proposed stadium was suitably positioned, that there would be sufficient off-street car and coach parking to meet the needs of the site, that the off-site road improvements required as a consequence of the proposals would be implemented at the developers expense and that the public recreational facilities withn Craigneuk Park would be significantly improved as a result of the proposed development.

39

7.2 On this basis outline permission for this development was granted by Monklands District Council subject to a total of 19 conditions, with said conditions setting the conted within which these current proposals must be assessed. To this end various meetings have taken place between my department and the applicant to ensure that the details of this proposed development conform with the terms and requirements laid down via those conditions attached to the outline approval. My considerations in this regard have now been completed and I would advise Members that I am fully satisfied as to the acceptability of h s proposed development. This having been said a number of conditions will require to be attached to any approval issued in respect of this application in order that suitable control may be exercised over the detailed implementation of the proposed scheme.

7.3 Accordingly I would recommend that planning permission be granted in respect of t h ~ s application.

The application silc lics on tlie north sidc of Drunibntliie Road and consists of the site of the Mission Hall. onxed aiid used b!. the Plyniouth Brctlircn. Tlic existing building on the site. Ivhich is sited tonxds the u'cstcrii boundary of the site. consists of n large single storey brick built building of an uninspiring design and finish.

The site is bounded to thc east and west by existing rcsidential properties. to the north by Ravyards Park ivitli furthcr residcntial properties facing onto tlic sitc to tlie south.

The proposed dc\,elopnient takes the forin of a single. L shaped building comprising a total of 9, 2 and 3 bedroom flats. In the innin the building stands t\vo storey in height. i.e. along the majority of its west and north sidcs ivitli a single store!. element forming the southernmost part of the west side of the building.

A total of 14 no. car parking spaccs nould bc pro] idcd for these flats. said spaces being located at the southeast corncr of thc site

E\tcrnally tlic building nould be finislicd in nlim or crciini coloured roughcast n'ith stone feature quions. skevs. n i n d o u banding aiid basc coursc The roof nould be clad 111 grej coloured concrete tiles

REPR ESENTATlO N S

Tlic grounds of ob,jcction contained i n tlic a b o x notcd Icttcrs m a y be summarised as fol1oivs:-

(1 1 The location of the bin store ma!' g ~ c rise to siiicll and \.erinin problems.

(2) The proposed dc\dopment is out of scale uith the ad.ioining property (Belair) and would afTect the Icid of pri\ac). currcntly cii-ioycd b!. same.

(3) The proposcd dc\.elopnient 113s a n insufficient number of car-parking spaces.

(4) Tlic proposcd dc\.elopment is out of kccpiiig ivith the character of the Drumgelloch Conser\xtion Arcn.

( 5 ) Tlic proposcd dclclopment would C ~ U S C csccssi\r noise due to the moi'ement of cars.

COMMENTS

Dealing first of all ivith the principle of this proposcd dc\tlopmcnt it should be noted firstly tliat the existing use of tlic site ;is a Mission Hall (place of \\.orship/ meeting venue) represents the only non residential use along this stretch ofDr-Liinbatliic Road. G i I w that the site is covered by pol iq HG9 of tlie adoptcd Monklands District Local Plan 1991. \\.hicl1 prcsunies in favour of the continued residential use of such areas. T ~\ .ould consider tlie proposcd re-usc of this site for residcntial purposes to be wholly consistent u.ith thc aims and ob,jecti\.es of this polic!,.

The csisting building on the sitc. \\.hicl1 consists o r a largc coiiinioii brick built building of a less than inspiring dcsign. adds nothing to thc o\crall aiiiciiity and charactcr of this area. For this reason I am in no doubt tliat thc aiiiciiity oftlic stirrowidin:: arc:^ \\otild be significanU!. inipro\.ed if this building were to bc rcplaced b!. oiic more i n kceping \\.it11 thc cliaraitcr of the area.

These discussions addrcssed issucs relating to the scale. design. finishes and orientation of tlic proposed building and I \\,ould ad\.ise Mcmbers that the submitted scheme accurately reflects the outconic of thcse discussions. I am ihcrcforc satisficd as to the general acceptability of this proposed dcitlopment.

In rccognition of thc potential ad\.ersc impact of the three storey part of the building amcndments to the scheme 1ia.c rcsultcd i n the deletion of the third storey. As such I ani n o u satisficd that thc proposcd building is no\\' of a scale that uill not adversely impact upon thc amenit!. of this gciieral a m i .

It is noted that the proposed building does contain a siiiall nuniber of habitable room \\.indo\\.s i n its \vest facing elc\.ation.

The applicants seek planning consent for a change of use of a vacant petrol filling station to a car sales showroom. The application site lies to the north of Coatbridge Road some 300 metres west of the Bargeddie Cross Qunction of the AS9 and A752). The site estends to approsimately 0.18 ha and is almost perpendicular in shape with the fornier petrol station kiosWshop occupying a central position.

The applicant has indicated that a total of 55 No car parking spaces will be proiided for the proposed sales area. In addition 3 No visitor and 2 No s ta f f parking spaces nould also be provided. Access to the site would only be available to eastbound vehicles due to the dual carriageway at Coatbridge Road. It is en\%aged that there tvould be sufficient space within the forecourt area to enable customers to safely enter and leave the site.

Under the terms of the adopted development plan the application site is located within a General Urban Area (Econ 8) where the principle of mised land use is acceptable. The proposal does ini.olve a change of use but I consider this is acccptable in this instance and nould generally accord with the scope of the policy. The former petrol station site lends itself to this particular use with adequate sales area to the front and rear uithout compromise to visitor/staE parking areas. There ha\.e been no adverse comments in relation to the proposed change of use and I consider the proposal to be acceptable. It is therefore my recommendation the application is approved subject to conditions.

This application seeks planning permission for the change of use of a single storey detached building at 25-29 Kilmeny Crescent, Wishaw. The building comprises 2 vacant shop units. The applicant proposes to use the premises as a church centre and has provided a letter outlining the usual variety of activities of a church and church hall which are proposed for the site. No objections have been received from the Director of Environmental Services. The surrounding area is entirely residential in character. Whereas the proposal would introduce a non-residential use, it is my view that the activities associated with a church centre would have no significant adverse impact on the residential amenity of the area. All necessary requirements for the use of these premises for this purpose have now been met with the submission of full car parking arrangements. No objections have been received. I therefore recommend that planning permission is granted.

PROPOSAL AND SITE

This application is for outline residential consent on the site of the former Benefits Agency Offices at Hattonrigg Road, Bellshill. The site, which extends to some 0.2 hectares (0.5 acres), is situated just to the north of the town centre by-pass, adjacent to a modern nursing home complex.

No details are available at this stage regarding the type of housing which may be developed on the site, as the Benefits Agency merely wish to establish the principle of housing on this land before marketing it. However, the site is regularly shaped and genercily flat, and should be capable of being developed in variou3 ways.

CON S U LTATl 0 N S

The Coal Authority and West of Scotland Water had no objections to the proposal.

Environmental Sem'ces recommended that a suwey be carried out to establish if the site has been used for any contaminative purposess, which may then require further site investigations.

The proposal was advertised under the Development Contrary to Development Plans procedure, and no objections were received.

In addition to the above noted consultations, a number of other considerations are valid, including access position and geometry, and the need to minimise the effect of noise from the by-pass. In general, access should be taken from the southern end of the site, and the development set back as far as possible from the by-pass; these matters can be covered by planning conditions.

CONCLUSION

This site, which previously was surrounded by a variety of uses has, in recent years, become one of the few non-residential uses in the locality. Accordingly, this proposal will result in the removal of what has become a non-conforming use and will generally benefit the area. I therefore recommend that planning permission be granted.

COMMENTS The applicant wishes to extend and reorganise his exsiting operations of storing and recycling inert materials at the site of the former metal extractions firm. The business involves the importation of builders waste which is separated into its constituant components, mostly rubble. The recycled products are then exported to customers who need such materials. The existing site is proposed to be reorganised to enable proper

cleaning of vehicles, creation of storage areas, relocation of weighbridge, construction of a new office buidling and formation of screening bunds. I consider that the proposal would allow an existing recycling business to expand at the same time enabling the whole operation to be improved in terms of visual impact on the local area. The existing site is probably one of the most unsightly businesses on the A71 and this proposal would greatly improve its appearance. I therefore recommend that planning permission be granted subject to the imposition of appropriate conditions.

1. THE SITE AND PROPOSAL

1.1 The site lies on the south eastern side of the A71 between Waterloo and Newmains. The site was occupied by a firm called Metal Extractions, which specialised in recycling waste from the former Ravenscraig works. That firm went into receivership upon the closure of the former steel works and a new firm established recycling inert building materials. Because of the sites use and it's location on the edge of the A71, it's appearance is extremely poor. Various attempts have been made to have the site's image improved by both the former Scottish Development Agency and the Lanarkshire Development Agency however, due to the layout of the site, little has been achieved. The last improvement scheme saw the installation of metal railings, gates and landscaped bunds.

1.2 The proposal submitted for consideration seeks to expand the inert material recycling facility and to reorganise the site. The site would be doubled in size by expanding its rear boundaries, i.e furtherest away from the A71. A 3 metre high bund with planting is proposed for this new perimeter however, the existing frontage does not have room for a similar provision. One existing workshop to the southern end of the site is to be retained, with the existing derelict steel framed building at the north east of the site to be removed. A new two storey office building is proposed which would have an access road and associated parking area. The existing weighbridge would be relocated to the rear of the new office block. A one way system of vehicle movements is proposed to ensure that vehicles have their wheels washed before leaving the site.

1.3 The major part of the site is proposed to be used for the recycling process. Space would be created by removing existing settling ponds, creating new ponds to the south east corner of the site, removing existing coal fines, then level the area with rolled slag on hard core base. The actual recycling operations involve the use of mobile crushing, screening and washing equipment. The types of material to be treated and working methods would be controlled by the waste management licence as administered by the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency.

2.0 CONSULTATIONS

2.1 British Gas, the Health and Safety Executive and West of Scotland Water have no objections to the proposal.

2.2 Scottish Power have plant within the site which would require to be relocated at the applicant's expense. The Scottish Environment Protection Agency wished the applicant to be informed that he should contact them in terms of the waste management licencing regulations 1994 and The Environmental Protection Regulations 1991. The Coal Authority commented that previous mining activities had occurred within the site, including two mine entries. The applicant, if given consent, would require to contact The Coal Authority and seek the appropriate technical advise.

2.3 In terms of vehicular access and internal site arrangements, I consider the proposal to be an improvement on the present situation.

73

3.0 CONCLUSIONS

3.1 While this sort of operation in a prominent Greenbelt location would not be acceptable as a new proposal, the opportunity now existis through this application to improve significantly the appearance of an existing operation. All comments and requirements from consultees can be implemented. There have been no objections to the proposal and I therefore recommend that conditional planning permission be granted.

APPLICATION SITE AND PROPOSAL

This application relates to the erection of 22 flats on a site currently occupied by 2 dwellings on the North Side of Kirk road, East of its junction with Ryde Road in Wishaw. The site is adjoined to the North, North West and East by residential properties and to the West by the former public baths building on Ryde Road. The Safeways supermarket lies opposite the site, on the south side of Kirk Road.

The proposed buildings would be 2 to 2’/2 stories in height on the Ryde Road frontage and 2 and 3 stories in height on Kirk Road. The proposed vehicular access to the site would be from Ryde Road and the car parking facilities would be provided at the rear of the site.

CONSULTATIONS

West of Scotland Water, Scottish Power, The Coal Authority and British Telecom have no objections to this proposal.

The Head of Parks and Amenity of the Leisure Services Department comments that the existing trees, along the frontage of the site are in a healthy condition and form an attractive canopy, at this prominent position on the streetscene. It is therefore important that measures are taken to ensure the protection of the trees, both by the careful positioning of the buildings and by the creation of protected zones around the trees, during building works.

R E P R ES E N T A 7 ON S

The owner of the adjoining property on Ryde Road has raised the following issues of concern, in relation to this application:-

(1) The proposed car park could result in a loss of privacy to their property and in increased levels of noise and pollution, within the area.

(2) The proposed entrance to the car park on Ryde Road would result in increased numbers of vehicles using this busy junction, to the detriment of road safety.

(3) The proposed window positions in the block of flats adjacent to no. 6 Ryde Road would result in the overlooking of the private garden area belonging to this property.

(4) The proposed lowering of the wall at the boundary of the application site on Ryde Road, would cause an unsightly change in wall levels, between these two properties.

The Church of Scotland, who own the adjoining premises on Kirk Road, have objected to the proposal on the following grounds:-

( 1 ) The proposal would result in the overdevelopment of the site and would destroy the charocter of this area.

c 80

(2) The proposed building line would be out of keeping with the existing building line on Kirk Road and Ryde Road, and the proposal would therefore be detrimental to road safety.

(3) The proposal would have an adverse affect on the mature trees which are situated within this site and the adjoining premises.

(4) The proposed development could prejudice proposals for traffic improvements at this busy junction.

(5) The layout of the proposed redevelopment scheme could prejudice the redevelopment of the adjoining site on Kirk Road.

4.

4.1

P lAN N I N G 0 BS E RVATl 0 N S

The application site lies within an Established Housing Area, as designated in the Finalised Wishaw Local Plan and the proposed use of the site for residential purposes, thus complies with the general planning policies affecting this area.

4.2 The proposed redevelopment scheme occupies a prominent location at this busy road junction and the resulting buildings are likely to have a significant impact on the surrounding streetscene. The applicant has amended the layout and design of the proposed flats several times, to take account of the requirements of the Planning Authority and the objections of neighbouring residents in relation to this site.

4.3 The original building line of the proposed flats has been set back to take account of the tree line on Kirk Road and the proposals should now result in a minimal loss of tree cover on this prominent frontage.

The alterations to the building line and the repositioning of the windows should also reduce the impact of the proposed development on the neighbouring properties on Ryde Road and to a lesser extent, those on Kirk Road in terms of overlooking and loss of privacy. As a consequence, I would confirm that no objections have been received from neighbouring occupies, in relation to the revised layout proposals.

4.4 The application also includes proposals to increase the height of the boundary wall at the rear of No. 6 Ryde Road, in order to ensure that the neighbouring residents do not suffer a loss of privacy, as a result of the siting of the proposed car park along this boundary.

4.5 Whilst several alterations have been made to the design and layout of the proposed buildings, the scale and density of the revised scheme remains significantly different from that of immediately neighbouring buildings. However, I am satisfied that the building line as now shown IS at an acceptable position and that the design of the proposed buildings is of a suitable standard for this prominent site.

The retention of the tree canopy should also help to soften and enhance the frontage of the proposed building on Kirk Road.

4.6 I would have no objections to the proposed redevelopment scheme from a road safety point of view. The position of the proposed entrance to the site on Ryde Road and the layout of the access road and proposed parking area, are considered to be of a satisfactory standard, to serve this size of development. A draft scheme exists for traffic improvement to the junction of Kirk Road with Ryde Road and Lammermoor Terrace.

81

I would confirm however, that no land should be required on this side of Ryde Road, in order to implement these proposals.

4.7 The objections of the adjoining properties on Kirk Road, on the grounds that the proposed development would prejudice future proposals for the redevelopment of the adjoining site, are noted. The adjacent site appears to be in a reasonable condition at present and the site is not identified for residential redevelopment in any planning policies 01 programmes affecting the area. I therefore consider that it would be unreasonable to recommend the deferral of a decision or the refusal of this application, whilst awaiting the submission of an application for the redevelopment of the adjoining site.

5. CONCLUSIONS

5.1 I would thus confirm that I am satisfied with the finalised design and layout of the proposed redevelopment scheme and consider that the proposed buildings should form a notable landmark at this prominent site, close to the town centre.

5.2 It is thus considered that planning permission should be granted, subject to conditions relating to the protection of trees, the treatment of boundary walls and the range of materials to be used in the construction of the exterior of these buildings.

COMMENTS: This application seeks planning permission for the formation of a driveway at 19 Kingsway, Kilsyth. The application site forms part of the front garden area associated with a ground floor flat within a four-in-a-block development. The applicant proposes to create a dropped kerb access leading to a hardstanding area located between an existing footpath within the garden and a proposed area of shrubs adjacent to a boundary fence.

Three letters have been received from neighbouring residents objecting to the proposal on the following grounds:- 0 The applicant does not own the ground. 0 The site is liable to subsidence and the proposal would affect the stability of adjacent dwellings and underground drainage crossing the site. 0 The proposal is detrimental to pedestrian and traffic safety as it would involve the removal of a section of pedestrian handrail and the creation of a vehicle access opposite a road junction. 0 The proposal would detrimentally affect the environment of the area.

Comments/

83

-2-

Comments on each of these grounds of objection is given in turn below:-

0 The applicant has stated in the application form that he owns the ground and this has been confirmed by the Head of Economic Development and Property.

The site slopes a t present. The application, however, describes a scheme to level the site using type 1 stone, whin dust cement and sand and to complete the hardstanding with chips and concrete slabs. There is no reason to suspect this method would result in ground instability. 0 With regard to pedestrian and traffic implications, the Transportation Manager has no objections to the proposal.

The proposal would remove an area of garden. To ameliorate this, however, the applicant proposes to retain a strip of ground adjacent to the boundary to be laid with topsoil and planted with shrubs.

In conclusion, it is considered that the proposed development is acceptable in planning terms and it is recommended that permission is granted.

RECOMMENDATION Grant permission subject to the following conditions:

1. That the development to which this permission relates must be begun within five years from the date of this permission.

Reason: To comply with Section 38 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act, 1972.

2. That any alterations to statutory undertakers apparatus shall be carried out to the satisfaction and requirements of the respective statutory undertakers and at the expense of the developer.

One objection.

This application seeks consent for the removal of Planning Condition No. 2 from Planning Consent N/96/0026/PL.

The original application was submitted in February 1996 for a rear extension to dwelling a t 41 A Southfield Road, Cumbernauld.

This application was granted approval in March 1996 subject to three conditions:-

1. That the development to which this permission relates must be begun within five years from the date of this permission.

2. That the extension main gable shall be finished in facing brick to match the dwelling.

3. That any alterations to statutory undertakers apparatus shall be carried out to the satisfaction and requirements of the respective statutory undertakers and a t the expense of the developer.

The/


87

-2 -

The proposal was begun and it was then that a neighbour wrote in to complain, and that they were intending to roughcast the new gable forming the eastern elevation of the extension. The basis for the neighbour's complaint was that roughcast was an "alien" material in this estate. The applicant was contacted and it appears that Condition No. 2 was misinterpreted. They assumed the main gable was the elevation which faces the road and he was carrying out the works as shown on the approved plan.

It was decided that Mr. Mosson should reapply to the Planning Department with a view to removing Condition No. 2 from his original approval, The application was submitted and the usual consultation process and neighbour notification carried out. This process produced no adverse replies in relation to the new application.

The applicant proposes to roughcast the eastern gable with a buff material which will in terms of colour, compliment the existing facing brick of the extension and original dwelling. It has been noted that contained within the estate are dwellings whose original manufacturers specification included facing brickhoughcast finishing. I would therefore deem this proposal acceptable and recommend that this application be granted.
